Openly Gay Man Called To Serve in Key LDS Position

If it isn't broke why fix it? I don't need any more material from what I am using to easily dominate every argument everyone is making at least on these forums. I'm saving my better material for actually good arguments that I haven't gotten anywhere here.

You would not know a good arguement if it kicked you in the nuts. If you are fine running around waving your short man flag then have at it.

"Family Rituals and routines bring family members closer together... preserved stability at times of stress... increases children's feeling of security... less likely to develop problems with alcohol... Organized rituals also increase children's academic competence... feel a sense of belonging." (Pg 119-120) This also includes secular routines and rituals but doesn't exclude religious. Praying 5 times a day, going to church, and thanking god are some of the most time efficient things you can do for your happiness and success at life..

ROFL...Why don't you go and do just that instead of wasting time here?

Exercise is good for you! Why don't you exercise 16 hours a day!

It's amazing what the simple minded come up with.

It is amazing how you can't do math. 8hr of sleep plus 9hr of work, leaves you only 7 hr for remaining activities during the day including exercise.

Ok so lets list what the research shows: Religious people are more charitable, live happier lives, commit less crimes, less drug and alcohol abuse, less suicide. Forget the afterlife, you will live a better this life.

What a bunch of crap. Tell this to parents of children who were molested by catholic priests.

Actually word on the street is that TBS has quite the collection of gimp balls. He has a fetish for having them in his mouth.
 
Thanks AKMVP for proving my point. Just because something is good for you doesn't mean you can ignore your other responsibilities.

AKMVP you don't see me dominating because I did it in a way that fools can't see.

Tell that to Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot who commits less crimes. I back my claims with 8 different sources. Atheists just close their ears and shout there is no god over and over again :).

If you're going to be a smartass you first have to be smart. Otherwise your just an ***.

Pwning noobs all day every day. Watch the fools disagree with me now once again :).

Well I back mine with 9 but in a way your unbelieving eyes cannot see. They are to clouded with the hypocrisy you speak.

That 8 really has a 1 by it making it 81 sources but you couldn't see that since you iz dum. 81 > 9

I owned Stoked once again. This is way to easy.

And that proves what? That they used different ideology then religion to kill? How they are different from inquisition or Crusades?
You trying to throw around some silly, weak data which states that religious people are better at some things in life - which I find idiotic. Sorry, there is no way you can prove that.

Um... You gave a random example of a couple of catholics who raped a couple of people... So what???

Some silly weak data? I threw 8 sources from publications all from the 21st century, all from people with Ph.D's. Here is another source https://www.newsinenglish.no/2009/10/06/depression-hits-half-the-population/. Half of Norway is depressed while having some of the best income and life expectancy in the world. According to a study in 2005, only 32% of Norweigans also believe in God, it is a largely atheistic country.

You remind me a lot like creationalists. No matter how much recent publications with creditably you throw at them they reply foolishly with "weak data."

As for stoked you most likely have memories of your dad sucking someone's dick and replaced me with your dad to cope with your **** memories.

In 2005, the Kripke Center released a detailed study called, “Cross-National Correlations of Quantifiable Societal Health with Popular Religiosity and Secularism in the Prosperous Democracies. Some info from that study for you digest.

Ask anyone with a masters in criminology and they’ll tell you that crime is caused by so many social issues: poverty, parenting, religion, economics, demographics, geography, etc. It’s a deep issue with a lot of sides. But, I want to look at just one… religious affiliation of those in prison

And how come the United States, while still one of the most religious countries on earth, also has the highest rates of teen pregnancy, STDs, and abortions?

Myth: Religious people are better people and make for a better society! Result: Well… BUSTED!
 
In jail people become religious since there are missionaries and pastors that visit them. Jeffery Dahmer stated that the reason he murdered 17 men was because he did not believe in God. However once in jail he became a Christian. Give me data of the criminals before they get caught for it and then you can claim.

AKMVP once again lol owned.

Myth: Atheists live as good lives as religious people... Busted

And yet they rank lower in suicide rates then highly religious countries like Lithuania and Poland. How you would explain that?
Plus they have way less crimes, abortions or STDs then highly religious USA. Busted again, it is not even funny how lopsided it is.
