Why is it that....

I noticed an interesting phenomenon. I somehow don't think it's "coincidence." I notice in some areas there seems to be larger numbers of Christians than others. Like, here in the states we have an area called "The Bible Belt." Mostly the southern states, and we call it that because in those states, Christians are very prominent. Yet in other areas, like in some northeastern cities like New York, in general, the city people are more "snooty" towards Bible believers, and most think they're too "intellectually superior" for it. So I'm wondering what location has to do with the number of Christians, why there's the Bible Belt, and the snarky city dwellers who tweak down their noses at it. The Holy Spirit is everywhere, yet the number of those accepting it doesn't seem to be equal everywhere. What does atmosphere have to do with it?

In big cities life is very fast. People are easily influenced by changing trends in different aspects. For example, on a Sunday morning by 5am in the morning there is no parking at the beach. I often wonder, who has gone to church. If everybody is at the beach. It's easier to be a non-believer because there are no boundaries about living according to the word. You do as you please.

When you live a fast paced life and working stressful white collar jobs to survive in a high cost of living environment, it’s easy to deviate and make excuses for why you don’t have time for church or worship. And most of these people in these areas are educated in liberal universities where they learn to feel like they’re too intelligent for religion.

With the liberal universities, and feeling intellectually superior, that's a deception. That's why the previous president made that statement, "That's why they cling to their guns AND THEIR RELIGION."

Fine thinking, my opinion regarding this is,
Christians and Christianity is everywhere. But people are avoiding Christianity since they cannot sin openly. In BIBLE Jesus said, those who want you hear let them hear.
Let the HOLY SPIRIT touch all the people of the world. Amen.
