Those 'more religious' countries actually soared past the less religious catholic ones - intellectually, scientifically (the scientific method has its roots in Christianity, Kepler and newton, for example were seeking god's order ) - in which the church had been corrupted.
Oh, i do have two examples of enlightened rational beings rejecting religion 1789 France (known as the Reign of Terror) and the various Communists regimes that left 120 + million people dead.
I called you a sophomore because, well, look up the meaning. You make , sweeping statements - and baseless assertions about religion going the way of the dodo bird....under the guise of being rational , but it's really just a thin veneer for your own irrational hatred and excuse to feel 'superior' to those ignorant 'religious peoplel' sounds like you just picked up Richard Dawkins latest 'masterpiece' .
as for it "fu˘king" mattering, yes it does, if you're a product of any US school system, - for example 'kids' graduating today have had 10+ years of diversity /sensitivity indoctrination, which makes them very different fish, on average than those who went to school pre-PC.
and yes you are making sweeping judgments, where my statement was a reflection in sweeping changes in the US educational system with the asendence of the sixties (hippie/baby boomer generation) into positions of power, particularly in educational fields - which has directly effected education. |
Hey, you forgot to debunk evolution too.
Seriously, there are so many incorrect claims in your post that one doesn't where to begin in correcting you.
The lesson here is not to rely on bible class for your education about the real world.
