What makes you angry?Written by Darren Hewer
The Barna Group poll results, summarized below, can help us to gauge what seems to be the most important moral issues to many Christians in America. Barna asked people which issues they thought was a “major problem” facing the country: Abortion is the overwhelming choice of evangelicals as the nation’s top moral problem, according to a new survey by The Barna Group. Among evangelicals, abortion was rated a major problem by 94 percent of respondents, followed, in order, by the personal debt of Americans 81 percent, the content of TV and movies 79 percent, homosexual activists 75 percent, homosexual lifestyles 75 percent, poverty 72 percent, immigration 72 percent and HIV/AIDS 71 percent. Global warming finished at the bottom, with only 33 percent of evangelicals saying it is a major issue.
