Atheists soon a majority?

Ok

Not only is that not evidence of that, all of the available evidence contradicts that nonsense.

 

In order to reiterate point I stated that science cannot fully explain the universe? Huh? Pay attention!

 

So you operate on faith too, noted.

 

Almost all people who understood the terms religion and spirituality don't have that problem, Kode.

 

How so? This is a discussion board. Use your big boy words and don't make people ask you to explain your own assertions.

 

Based on what data? Do you have a link? The data you presented here showed the numbers for those two ideas showed that fully 1/3 of spiritual people "have that problem". Please explain, thanks.

 

Thank you for accepting that 60% of millennial are affiliated with religion (compared to 10% of all Americans in 1790). Yeah, millennials operate on 'fath' as well.

 

You're welcome! But you forgot to explain the disparity in the stats you presented that contradicts your recent remark.

Yes, Americans were bathing in recent scientific and philosophical enlightenment in 1790. Then the Christian missionaries came along and set the country back 200 years. And we are still digging out of that hole today.

 

Earth had major topography LONG before the flood story. We have mountains that are 100,000,000 years old.

That's farther back in Earth's history than humans existed on earth. That is, there are mountains today that existed 30,000,000 years before the first modern humans evolved.

The Noah story says the Earth WASN'T covered with water, then it WAS covered with water, then it WASN'T covered with water. Nothing in your site explains that progression.

 

Pew research studies do not agree with that - at all.

Their investigations consistently show a continuing state of general belief in the supernatural, bug with millenials and others moving away from organized religion toward "new age" thinking.

More people are believing in trees, nature, crystal pyramids, Mother Earth, etc.

They even find that people who label themselves as Christian also have beliefs in "new age" ideas.

 

Everyone subscribes to some "faith". But the issue is the inclination of some to cling to unscientific, refuted, illogical myth and then to urge the rest of the world to do likewise.

 

The other 40% may wise up when they get older.

 

Perhaps you should move to a less Christian nation. North Korea beckons.......

 

Doubtful. If anything, it will swing the other way. With the advent of social media, the need for bronze age fairy tales to bring people together in communal fantasies to get social interaction is greatly diminishing.

 

So do the other civilized nations of the world. Perhaps you should move to a more Christian nation, like Guatemala. I'm sure a healthy white boy like you would get plenty of...attention.

 

Stop projecting.

Actually, I'm mostly Puerto Rican.

 

That's not the way trends like this work.

 

You question makes no sense, so try again.

 

Mamasaid has come to the realization that the USA is not going atheist anytime soon or later.

 

all of britain is in tears

 

Pew Research studies do seem to show a decline in organized religion, though.

It's becoming more common for people (including Christians) to be adding "new age" beliefs to their religious views - like belief in mountains, trees, crystal pyramids, etc.

 

Okay,I will try again to explain a very simple idea to you:

The data you presented whows quite decisively that people recognize that spirituality and religion are not the same and actually are separable, as you presented data that shows 60% of a group claim to be affiliated with a religion, while 90% of the same group claim to be spiritual.

And yet,in the next breath, you claim that spirituality and religion are inseparable and, essentially, the same.

Please explain or correct this glaring error on your part.

 

What told you that, professor? Was it when I explicitly stated that, pages and pages ago? Don't quit your day job, detective obvious.

 

The data that Mamasaid has such difficulty explaining is very simple, actually.

All of the data guts and bleeds out the OP, just as Mamasaid was told long ago.

 

It appears you are having some difficulty explaining your error. Allow me to explain for you:

You are a rabid reactionary that knee jerks to any idea you consider adversarial, vomiting out the first, incomplete thought that fizzles into your brain. In doing so, you often say dumb, demonstrably false things and often contradict yourself in the span of minutes.
