http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20130529-911528.html

Dear listeners, you are listening to TLIG radio and here is the news for this week. A well-known American publication The Wall Street Journal has published the results of a survey arranged by the True Life in God Foundation. Today we bring you some extracts from this report and some of Vassula’s comments. The report begins: «NEW YORK, May 29, 2013. Against a backdrop of horrific crimes and devastating natural disasters, 56% of Americans surveyed believe in the devil, 53% believe in hell and 43% believe in hell as «a place of suffering and punishment where people go after they die,» according to a recent poll of 1,218 Americans conducted over Memorial Day Weekend.

The survey also found that Americans don’t hold God responsible for these tragedies with 86% believing natural disasters such as the Oklahoma tornado and Hurricane Sandy are a function of nature. 61% believe recent terror and crime episodes, such as the London terrorist attack, the Cleveland kidnapping / imprisonments and the Sandy Hook massacre are caused by «the evil in people’s hearts» rather than «divine retribution.» An equal amount of respondents (38%) believe that people who commit violent criminal acts go to hell as well as those who don’t ask God’s forgiveness for their sins before they die. 61.5% of respondents believe they’re going to heaven while only 1.5% believe they will go to hell.

Commissioned by the True Life in God Foundation (TLIG), established by international author / humanitarian Vassula Ryden (author of the bestseller Heaven is Real But So Is Hell; released in March, 2013), the poll was conducted online from May 23-27, 2013 among 1,218 male and female Americans, age 18-60 and older.

The new survey shows that while a majority of Americans still believe in hell (54%), the number is declining. A 2008 Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life / US Religious Landscape Survey showed that 59% of Americans believed in hell in 2008, and an earlier Pew study reported that 71% believed in hell as of 2001. The True Life in God Foundation conducted the survey to help Americans explore the existence and causes of evil in the world. The Foundation commissioned Survey Monkey, one of the leading polling companies in America, to survey a cross section of Americans from every age group, region, ethnicity, religion, and household income. The survey follows the release of the book, Heaven Is Real But So Is Hell, which hit No.1 on Barnes & Noble online, as well as No.1 in Christian

Orthodoxy on Amazon following its March 16, 2013 release.

Vassula cautions skeptics who scoff at the existence of the devil: «The devil’s most powerful tool is convincing us that he — and hell — do not exist. He works subtly and silently, feeding our doubts and inadequacies, sowing dissension and creating chaos and confusion in our lives. Evil is real, and we have to know how to respond to it.» Vassula’s believes prayer, forgiveness, reconciliation, and service to others are the main tools to overcome the forces of evil. Dear listeners, thank you for listening to TLIG radio. God bless you all
