In reply to Anne Ronning Duff. Well said, Ms. Duff. I am an American currently visiting Norway a country that I lived in for more than 11 years. I am staying with an old friend here in Vikersund. I love this country as much as I love my own. My friend has two daughters and when it came up in conversation that I was a believer in the Bible and our Lord Jesus Christ it was as if I had offended the two girls. This is a growing trend from what I gathered and it is a trend that has had devastating results in the U.S. I hope to gently bring the subject up again and try to testify to these young ladies as to exactly what a real Christian believes and why with the prayer that perhaps I can sew a seed. But as the parable teaches us sometimes that seed can fall on sand and not take root. But with the Lord's help and His blessing perhaps there's still a bit of fertility there. God Bless you.

There always will be those who believe in God and those who don’t but all have one thing in common, all will have to die Period . So in this case my recommendation is, Seek the One who put you ( and your parents, etc )on this earth, its very rewarding and exciting task,do it while you still breathing.

He won’t be missing anything, as fictional characters don’t consult!
You are believing in a character who was made up by Bronze Age Sheep Herders. i.e. Moses who Supposedly needed a way to control the Israelites on their imaginary trek thru the desert! What better way to control people than an invisible deity who is everywhere & if you do bad things, he knows & will punish you!
If you don’t believe in him, it’s into the Lake of Fire for eternity…
Then there is the big lie, King James Version,
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Hard to resist eternal life when you are a brainwashed kid.

AND of course there is the money thing. Catholic Church tithes 10% of parishioners income…don’t know how many actually pay.😉😊 In my small hometown, the Catholic Church needed a million bucks to renovate the old church. Signs on the church where to donate. The Priest(s) went after the rich tobacco farmers in the area. They had their money in a couple of weeks.

The Catholic Church has always been devious. Could you imagine the info the priests got during their confessionals in Europe during the ‘Dark Ages’? It’s no wonder the Catholic Church ruled Europe for 1000 years.

Churches, don’t pay taxes but expect free fire & ambulance services. My answer is, pray the fire out & pray the patient well. Speaking of prey, @lkrauss, had a question for people needing help. Do you want me to pray for you to get better or take you to the hospital?

Why do they teach Christianity at schools? Why can’t it be a general moral values?

god is a fictional money making character. Mickey Mouse is real.God was invented long time ago to put fear in people to cut down on murder, robbery and sex out of their marriage,putting the fear of god fictional character to makesome scared that when they die would go to fictional hell. nobody ever came back from heaven or hell, but to put fear in some made them think they were better people, now the con, putting up to 10% of their income gave them first class seat in heaven. printing all this crap some believed in an in the USA, some say I’m a devout christian are looked up to. The catholic religion is a hideout for gays, child molesters hiding behind some man made god, there finished, now they can’t hide no more. even the pope with his gay wardrobe, proves his fag lifestyle.Only athiest are real, but these god loving clowns,like putting them down believe in your self, and try and live a good life, you don’t need a fictional character to help you, you need yourself and live right.

It is good that at least the thoughts of protestantism still influences the Norwegian society and I think many people are not aware. The real atheism which destroys the society from scratch as it is showing in some parts of the Central Europe would be a disaster for this country. The idea of supported church by a secular state is not biblical so that we can not automatically expect it will positively impact people’s lives. Maybe that system was made with good intentions but the real faith and formal membership in a church are (thank God) very different things.

I’m surprised the figure is that high. Norway comes across as a highly secular Country where the God is (in Biblical terms) “Mammon”. There was a period up to and including the 50’s when God and Christianity was a lot more prevalent than it is now.

King Haakon VII said:
“The only thing which can save the world from difficulties and all evil is to turn back to early Christianity and the old Christian values.” But I guess he didn’t see the replacement god coming with the oil boom.

Incidentally, when Catholicism was enforced by King Olav, the strongest opposition to it was right there on your doorstep in Ranheim.

Evangelist Emanuel Minos recorded a prophecy given by a 90 year old lady from Moss in 1968 regarding the future, I read it recently and it is startling to see the accuracy of it.

Thank you for the article.
