What percentage of people who believe in the following would you estimate support gay marriage?

[ButterflyBlood]

-Faith healing
-Young Earth Creationism
-Speaking in tongues
-Snake handling
-King James Only Bible policy
-The Rapture

Faith healing is probably highest, I've actually met people who do believe in it and support gay marriage. It actually seems to be kind of popular now among some hipster-types believe it or not. The rest I'm sure are all single digit percentages.

1. Personally, I believe the percentage in each would be so small

as to be statistically insignificant. I don't want to bother attempting to quantify such miniscule numbers.

6. You'd be surprised about faith healing

I know a ton of people at my church who are into that and very LGBT-affirming.

2. I am happy to say that I don't know anyone who believes in *snake handling*

I don't know too many people who believe in the others either. I probably know a few who believe in faith healing; and a few who believe in the King James Bible only policy, more for literary/cultural than religious reasons, and some of both groups probably do accept gay marriage.

3. Thank goodness I don't know anyone in any of those categories.

Well, except for one woman I know who was literally a snake handler, but only because she worked in the herp house at the zoo. ;-)

4. Faith healing is worldwide, the rest are exclusive to fundamentalist Christianity

So I'd just chuck faith healing entirely. You'll find it among many alternative groups, including gay-friendly groups - ask Genesis P-Orridge about faith healing.

The rest of them are strongly associated with a small range of fundamentalist views, except for the guys (yes, nearly always guys) in the Southwest who get into snake handling for non-religious reasons involving the consumption of large amounts of alcoholic beverages.

re creationism, I do like, in a sick sort of way, the notion of God sitting around, in real time, inventing new kinds of fossils and hiding them just ahead of the archaeologists so as to confuse their theories as best as possible. Their God has to be such an incredible science geek to make it all work out - radioisotope dating and everything. No wonder their God doesn't like them - he's a genius and they're all stupid.

5. I grew up with people who believe in all of those, save the snake handling.

The funny thing about that, BTW, is that they thought the snake-handlers were nuts, and that they were doing wrong by "tempting God."

Anyway, to your question, not a one.

7. I might actually know some people who believe in faith healing. But I don't really

know anyone who clearly believes in young earth creationism or the rapture, or who speaks in tongues or handles snakes, or who thinks the King James translation is the only one that can be used: if I know folk in those groups, they're keeping their opinions to themselves

8. Would the category of "faith healing" include non-Christian...

..."spiritual" healing? That would bring in a lot more LGBT tolerance.
