Christianity doesn't worry me as much as Islamic Fundamentalism does.

Compared to Fundie Islam, Fundie Christianity is a nice little religion.

Who knows? If society remains literate, I suspect it will be hard for any scripture-based religion to die out, as Bibles/Korans/Vedas will continue to be copied and distributed. If there is some sort of catastrophe that destroys civilization, I suspect Christianity (and every other religion) will gradually evolve and change to the point where it is no longer recognizable as such. Kind of like the way modern Hinduism would seem to a Chalcolithic Indo-European.

countjulian you are right, but its much much worse than even you concede, the "remnant" church is growing exponentially. You see there is a lazy, fat ,complacent "Laeodician" wealthy western church and then there is the remnant evangelical church...... the true church is an anvil that has worn out many hammers!
