So I'm reading my new copy of Christian Ethics Today Journal and find the box that shares this little tidbit of information

Eighty-seven percent of Americans believe in the concept of sin. what counts as sinful behavior? Here's the percentage of Americans who view certain activities as sinful:

• 81% Adultry (sic)
  
• 74% Racism
• 65% Use of hard drugs
• 56% Abortion
• 52% Homosexual activity
• 52% Underreporting income30% Gambling
• 29% Telling a "little white lie" (from Ellison Research/RNS - March 14)

Of course, we've gone to ranking sin and ordering how sinful sinful behavior is, but I wonder what percentage of us would mark such things as gluttony, legalism and arrogance as sin. I also wonder if Christ would have an entirely different list.

I've set up a poll question at Mister Poll. Click on over and choose your favorite.

Here's the question: Who's your favorite Scrooge?

If you don't like all the choices--or have a better one, leave a comment in the here. The poll runs from 12/20-12/25 so hurry on over to vote.

I thought I'd try the poll option added to Blogger fun things to add. The first week-long poll was about Christmas songs. According to the results the one vote was for "Silent Night." I believe that somehow I hit a vote button, so even the one vote was invalid. For future notice, if you'd like to participate in polls--they'll be over in the side bar.

Happy Holidays everyone. (See, it's okay to say, "Happy Holidays!")
