re: New data: nearly 80% of black babies born to single moms, up 5% from 2012

if you could prove that worldwide, there is a correlation between belief in jesus and out of wedlock birthrates, you would have a point. 

trouble is, no such correlation exists. so you're pretty much just talking nonsense. but that's what we're here for, right?

You clearly missed what I was saying. Jesus is not the only hope for more ideal birth statistics, though if everyone lived according to Christian principles it should certainly lower the number of births to unwed/single mothers.

Sin a bounds everywhere and in everyone and it leads to destruction both here on earth and after death. Christ is needed for forgiveness and communion with God, which will produce the kind of obedience that reduces the amount sin and destruction we see every day.

Being a Christian doesn't mean being sinless but it should result in a life of obedience to God and sin being driven out of the Christian over time until they are perfectly sinless in Heaven after death. There are a lot of people who profess Christ and yet do not have Him as their savior. The modern church is producing more and more of these false believers and these people have no problem living just like "the world".
