I love facts, and the fact is that none of what you have posted that quoted me has anything to do with our society. Your response to my original post was simply the use of the leftist tactic of distract and deflect. When called on that, you refuse to acknowledge it and instead you double down just as any good leftist would.

I have come to believe that you are only a notch or two above the leftists of BLM and Antifa. They seem determined to undermine and destroy the nation that they have been the beneficiary of. Likewise, you seem determined to undermine and destroy the Christian faith, which you, whether you realize it or not, whether you will admit it or not, have been the beneficiary of. This country was founded by men whose minds were steeped in Christianity and the wisdom they had derived in part from that was what led to the form of government and society that you now enjoy.

To some degree, you are just as much a useful idiot of the globalists as are the anarchists of BLM and Antifa.



TYG,
Sure I provided data at the country level, but correlation does not stop there. Within the U.S. when you break the data down at the state level, the same correlation exists. As an example, the more religious a state the higher the teenage pregnancy rate and the lower the per capita incomes.


Nice try, but those statistics, if true, mean nothing and you know it. To be valid, they'd have to compare teenage pregnancy rates or per capita income between the churched and un-churched. Even that would not suffice, you'd really need to have comparative behavioral profiles across peoples' entire lives. A churched, unwed teenage mother might, as a result of her upbringing, live the remainder of her life in a way that is pleasing to God. An un-churched one might become a Christian despite not having been raised in church. And since when has income become a measure of good or bad behavior?

Your post was simply more distraction and deflection.


Not at all.

If your hypothesis was true, we'd see the results in the real world. Countries and states with the "most churched" people would demonstrate better markers of well being, but the reality is the exact opposite. Even when we use your method, interview people here in the U.S regarding their churchieness, we get the same results. The more fundamentalist a population, the worse the fair on measures of well being.


You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
