Non Religious Population on The Decline

It's all spelled out in the Bible. The cult Islam will gain world dominance, the Jews will rebuild the Temple, 3-1/2 years of peace then hell literally breaks out on earth.

How much time do we have? What happens after hell breaks out?

 

[Weatherman2020]

Spirituality has always been a hallmark of human intelligence - always.

Certainly true, to a point.

Marxist bullshit fabricated cover for those too stupid to really comprehend the metaphysical without reducing it to simplistic images by letting them pretend that condescension and hostility toward religion signifies some degree of sophistication when just the opposite is the case.

I don't completely agree with that. However, Marx did correctly see religion for what it is.

Yes, a threat to tyranny because people become independent and happy under Judeo-Christian teachings.

Anywhere between 7 seconds from now until who knows.

Well, I personally think Marx pinned religion fairly well. He just wanted to replace it with himself. However, unlike Marx, I think religion has a valid place in culture. I think it should be promoted more. The ideals it promotes (Christianity), on the whole tend to be for the better. I wouldn't believe any of the horse shit any more than I do now, but, it tends to keep the stupid in line. It also permits for a much more restrictive governance in the enforcement of law and order. We will need both as our country darkens and that IQ begins to dip deeper and deeper. If we cannot have a Western European based, high trust culture, ethnically, then we are going to need some law and order...round hyuh!

Some people...fags don't. They were pushed into the closet. However, they only represent ~2% of the pop so...meh.

Just because your threshold of sexual perversions are different than others does not give you any high ground.

Exactly correct...open faggotry is counter to the glue which holds a society together...makin more religious followers. That is why Cultural Marxism promotes faggotry, while denigrating your Sky Boss.

Yeap, stupid people love to breed. It is the one thing that they can actually out compete the intelligent ones at. Most of the breeding world is fairly low on the IQ scale. Low IQ individuals tend to be the most religious. Ahhhh...the puzzle of life.

It does not require any intellect to deny everything that is presented.

I have yet to meet an atheist here who has impressed me with his intellect.

You are Scott Baio saying Daniel Day Lewis can't act.

Meaningless drivel.

Nah, I'm sure of what I know, you are sure you know that magic is real and invisible flying deities watch you like fairies and unicorns. You really don't see the hilarity in that?

That's how you need to see what I see. That's not necessarily what I see.

You need to see yourself as superior to others. All that does is reveal that you see yourself as inferior to others.

You have just described the premise of the movie Idiocracy.

But not the cause.

 

[ding]

Which is what?

If you don't know the reason then you have proven my point that atheists have less than impressive intelligence.

You're the one who said there was a good reason, so what is it?

That it provides a functional advantage.

Not any more it doesn't. Theists today are mostly nuts, Muslims, Jews, Christians (especially in the US)... The scientists and other smarter people are moving away from those backwards concepts.

I would surmise that the 'smarter people' have never been all in from the beginning. Religion acts as societal glue. The more intelligent play the game because of the social ramifications of not doing so. The many laws and precepts are merely social codes that should be adhered to for the good of the society. The intelligent, tend toward some level of agency. In order for these more intelligent elements to get anything done they need a control mechanism, extra-human law. IOW, they need a way to corral and control the dimmer elements of their society. Religion and it's "Big Boss in the Sky/Karmic Law" principle is exactly what an orderly society requires. Especially if that society is populated with <90 I.Q. mouth breathers.
In this way religion is very important and good. Without it, there is lack of direction and subsequent disorder and social decay....as we are seeing in modern culture.
Now, of course I am speaking in the traditional, simplistic, Ten Commandment sense of religion. All things, even religions tend to corrupt with time.

There is a distribution for everything. Many probably do go through the motions and pay lip service to their faith. But faith has a funny way of growing beyond that, so it isn't all bad that they go through the motions. I disagree that the smarter people have never been all in from the beginning. I work with a bunch of the so-called "smarter people," and that hasn't been my observation at all.

Here's the deal, virtue is the ultimate organizing principle and naturally leads to success. You speak of control, but the reality is that order naturally arises from chaos because suffering provides the feedback necessary to end suffering. Materialists, like yourself, have a hard time grasping this concept. Everything is cyclical. When man becomes satisfied, he becomes proud. When man becomes proud, he fails and suffers. But from that suffering he remembers the behaviors which made him successful and the cycle begins anew. So, no, not everything becomes corrupted. Just man.

These things are probably hard for you to see because of how far you have to look down to see. I for one would much prefer the company of those simple folks you look down upon than the company of those that think they are better than others.

I don't completely agree with that. However, Marx did correctly see religion for what it is.

Other than his honest assessment that communism is naturalized humanism, I would be ashamed if there was anything I agreed with Marx about.

^ even Stevie Wonder saw that coming.

For any given thing find the highest standard possible. God is on that side.

How do we tell the difference between our highest standard and God's highest standard?

His ways are not our ways. I wouldn't presume to know his standards. I only know that everything works for the good of those who love him, but usually not in ways they expect. Nothing is as it seems. And yet, consciousness continues to evolve despite our best efforts to thwart it.

It's all spelled out in the Bible. The cult Islam will gain world dominance, the Jews will rebuild the Temple, 3-1/2 years of peace then hell literally breaks out on earth.

How much time do we have? What happens after hell breaks out?

You should probably worry more about the next global war. It will make WWII look like a regional conflict.

Population of the World's Non-Religious Is on the Decline

Despite the apparent rise in people with no religion, the overall percentage of non-believers is expected to decline as a share of the world's population, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center.

By 2050, the number of people who identify as atheist, agnostic, or who say they have no particular religion will grow by 100 million, for a total of 1.2 billion people. But the percentage of believers will vastly outpace that growth, expanding by more than 2 billion over the same span of time. As a result, the percentage of non-believers, while growing in real terms, will decrease from 16 to 13 percent of the world's population by 2050.

This is not good news. When have the religions of the world ever, ever agreed on anything? One is most likely to get shot, bombed, run over, or blown to bits by a "believer" of one sort or another. History shows us that people tend to get crazy over religious conflicts and get violent. This shouldn't be, but it is and has been.

We will need both as our country darkens and that IQ begins to dip deeper and deeper. If we cannot have a Western European based, high trust culture, ethnically, then we are going to need some law and order...round hyuh!

I don't believe I would hold Western Europe up as a paragon of virtue. I would wager that before your life is over you will get to see what Western Europe has wrought. Materialism which is furthest to the left always ends up by being stronger, more attractive, and victorious, because it is more consistent, but without its Christian heritage it cannot resist the inevitable cycle; liberalism will be replaced by radicalism; radicalism will surrender to socialism; and socialism can never resist communism.

As for your dire prediction for this country's future ( I can't bring myself to say your country given your screen name), it remains to be seen if we will learn from Europe's failure or if we will follow it. I suspect it will depend upon the timing of the next major societal upheaval. Timing is everything.

I would take Western Europe over Latin America, Africa or South Asia (the originating point for MOST of our immigrants) any day of the week. Yes...any country contained therein. Unless of course you think Ali from Eritrea and his circumcised wife are the epoch of culture?

I would wager that before your life is over you will get to see what Western Europe has wrought.

don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The core European culture still has some positives. All of this shit that the governments have been pushing since the end of WW2 is complete Marxist drivel.

Materialism which is furthest to the left always ends up by being stronger, more attractive, and victorious, because it is more consistent, but without its Christian heritage it cannot resist the inevitable cycle; liberalism will be replaced by radicalism; radicalism will surrender to socialism; and socialism can never resist communism.

Agreed,
They have relinquished their religion (European Christians) aided by an acquiescent and guilty church. They have fragmented and are at the mercy of governments which will ultimately lead them toward full Marxism. Meanwhile the Muslims will sit united, taking every advantage of their host. They will grow in both population and political power. They will then take over as the indigenous population both votes them in and willingly converts, seeking something outside of Marxist nihilism.
There will be no stopping Islam once it takes hold. No place has ever turned back the tide once Islam has assumed power. Europe will be no different as they WILL get religion in the end.
