Atheist 10 Commandments

[Mindlight]

Another atheist nonsence post.

There is a massive difference between nominal Christians and Jews and active ones. Active Christians and practising Jews have a very much lower divorce rate.

I don't know why numbers are so hard. Active Christians may well have better numbers than inactive, but this clearly shows that Atheists/Agnostics have better numbers than either. That's just the numbers, don't blame me if it doesn't support your position.

I'm not an Atheist, btw.

No actually the stats show that the Active Conservative Protestants and Catholics have more than a 30% lower divorce rate than the religiously non committed and Active Jews a 97% lower rate. However nominal Christians and Jews have a much higher rate. So basically the atheists on this thread are comparing themselves to hypocrites and liberals. Anecdotally I know of only one truly devout and mature Christian who has initiated a divorce out of hundreds that
I know ( I am not including frauds in that and I have known a few of those - because these guys never really were Christians). The Christians that did this did not do it until 5 years after she stopped speaking to him and he has not remarried.

You are comparing Christians to Christians and Jews to Jews. When you compare either, whether active or not, to Atheists/Agnostics the numbers show their divorce rate is higher.

No you have misunderstood the statistics- read the gospel coalitions Editors note. The comparison is with atheists and agnostics ( those with no religious affiliation). All active Conservative Protestants and active Catholics are more than 30% less likely to divorce than atheists / agnostics. Also that is before factors like how many of those who initiated the Christian divorce were only in church on Sunday to please a partner they later fell out with. In my experience real Christians rarely ever divorce though new Christians often do and nominal will rationalise whatever they do to make themselves look good.

I haven't misunderstood them at all. I read the article you refered to. Perhaps you should as well. Atheists and Agnostics aren't even mentioned. Now, if you actually compare the numbers you will see that Atheists and Agnostics have a lower divorce rate. Those are the numbers. I know they aren't the numbers you want, but those are the numbers nonetheless.

No religious affiliation = atheist or agnostic

Ah, the "real Christians" meme.

Since we have no objective means to differentiate "real Christians" from the "not really real Christians" and the outright "not real at all, Christians", we can presume that your goofy categories of Christians is meaningless.

And you should know - being an atheist?

There's no requirement for atheism to make observations about such things. It's an old ploy of religionists to dismiss out of their religion anyone who thinks/does differently than the self-professed "true christian" thinks/does. This is one reason why christianity (and most religions), tend to splinter into many sects and subdivisions. The dynamic is that group-think tends to draw the like-minded into enclaves where the self-professed assemble.

So, your rebuttle should be simple. Show us the objective standards that define tthe "true christian".

To each his own. If you don't believe then so be it. I stated my opinion, and in my opinion the OP is just another attack against religion. The OP always like to ditch any religion. That is his right as it is mine to state my beliefs whether or not your types like it.

Red States Lead the Nation in Divorce - The Wire

Yeh right like the whole world is America.

But did you actually read what you posted. They suggested that a low marriage age and pregnancy age was the real issue with divorce. Liberal East coast families do not do shot gun weddings and rather urge their daughters to use contraception or even abort the child. The final age of marriage is therefore later and when more financial resources are in place to support a family and the passions of youth are more under control.

Of course Liberal states are not devoid of true Christians and Bible Belt states have a large number of nominal Christians. That the general pressure on young people to get established in careers and to experiment in multiple sexual relationships has never been stronger and the media itself contributes to this pressure. That there is a problem with a large part of the religious culture that has often turned a blind eye to the hetrosexual activity of its youngsters and not found realistic ways to deal with the pressures of being young and single in a world that is ever more ruthless in the job and marriage markets.

These surveys did not deal with the difference between nominal and active believers. But they did add an extra list of considerations to the discussion

There are no fairies and unicorns in scripture, the natural world has no trace of them. Faith like that is sick and deluded. Faith is actually about taking a risk to trust someone you have good reason to believe is credible. I trust what Christ and the scriptures he affirms say about the unseen world but I do not trust someone who says he knows better than God. By definition a finite, mortal and imperfect man ( or even a large scientifically inclined group of them) cannot know better than an infinite perfect and Eternal God.

Santa was most probably a creation of Coca Colas marketing machine crossed with St Nicolas and the Russian story of Father Winter. People do not really believe in him even if they spend too much at Christmas time.

Why is it so hard to believe that there are beings smarter and more gifted than ourselves in this universe. One day we will probably be able to rig up a chimpansee with some electrical wires and computer chips to produce intelligent sounds with their existing vocal equipment. Yet you cannot believe in the capacity of alternate beings to speak through creatures more feeble minded and less gifted than themselves.

You yourself mouth the views of dead atheists to whom you are indebted without even being aware of it and they were a bunch of morons!
