60% Of Americans Think Bible Forbids Celebrations Over Bin Laden’s Death

The Public Religion Research Institute poll:

Six-in-ten (62%) Americans agree it is wrong to celebrate the death of another human being, no matter how bad that person was. There is strong agreement across party and religious lines.

60% of Americans believe the Bible’s admonition not to “rejoice when your enemies fall” applies to how Americans should react to bin Laden’s death. There is strong agreement across party and religious lines.

In my view, six out of ten Americans are very wrong about what the Bible teaches.
