'Alternate viewpoint' my ass. It's a tiny minority of religious people.

Trouble understanding subsets/supersets huh? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #5

Uh... UrbScotty Aug 2015 #6

I supplied a link to hard data in my first response. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #8

Religious people do good things. Sorry. (nt) UrbScotty Aug 2015 #10

Too bad they are massively outnumbered by the religious people that don't. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #11

Most religious people *are* on the right side of history here. UrbScotty Aug 2015 #12

And yet they support their churches with time and money and attendance that the church cleanhippie Aug 2015 #13

It's more complicated than you think. UrbScotty Aug 2015 #14

Around there? cleanhippie Aug 2015 #15

Lots of LGBT and female Catholics out there UrbScotty Aug 2015 #16

That's the question I'm asking; Why? cleanhippie Aug 2015 #17

Premise of your argument: rejected (nt) UrbScotty Aug 2015 #18

I get it, Urb. It's a tough question many in your position don't want to face. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #19

I get it. Many people can't stand the thought that religion can do good things. UrbScotty Aug 2015 #20

Can you explain why you give time and money to an organization that actively fights against cleanhippie Aug 2015 #22

Keep making that argument so we can keep kicking this pro-religion thread to the top! UrbScotty Aug 2015 #23

Keep dodging the question and I will. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #24

Can you explain why you even care about what I believe and do with my life? UrbScotty Aug 2015 #26

If you can't, or won't, I can accept that. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #27

LOL! Nothing like a little projection every now and then! UrbScotty Aug 2015 #28

If it makes you fell better about it, who am I to judge. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #29

Except that, when you analyse the figure, it turns out only 47% of religious Americans agreed muriel_volestrangler Aug 2015 #61

Numbers apparently don't matter here. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #70

They don't matter to those who ignore/dislike support for equality. UrbScotty Aug 2015 #71

Pretending tables have been turned does not make it so. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #76

That's why I don't pretend. UrbScotty Aug 2015 #78

And you also don't back up your handwaving with facts or sources. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #80

We already talked about projection UrbScotty Aug 2015 #81

Absolutely sure you're wrong, again. Leontius Aug 2015 #21

Oh, look, yet another substanceless post. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #25

Time to strike a match. Leontius Aug 2015 #30

Please don't self-immolate. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #31

Yeah man, Associated Press is so full of shit, am I right? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #32

The Blaze (the Glenn Beck-founded site you cited) is full of it, that's for sure UrbScotty Aug 2015 #33

Did not know that. Do you dispute what AP/GfK reported? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #34

It disputes your argument that a "tiny minority" supports equality (nt) UrbScotty Aug 2015 #36

Not if you can do basic arithmetic. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #39

Ha! UrbScotty Aug 2015 #41

Too bad you don't know what sort of fallacy your post is. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #43

LOL! That same exact poll shows that a majority of these groups support equality: UrbScotty Aug 2015 #45

UU's are less than 1% of the populace. Why does that excite you? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #46

:-) UrbScotty Aug 2015 #52

62% of white mainline Protestants. A vanishing group that went from 41m to 36m in 7 years. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #47

Off by more than 20 million UrbScotty Aug 2015 #51

That's one estimate. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #53

No amount of deflecting will change the truth. Sorry. (nt) UrbScotty Aug 2015 #54

How the hell is that a deflection? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #56

Your criticism is based on what you want to be true - not on actual facts. (nt) UrbScotty Aug 2015 #57

A majority of Americans oppose title two like protections for same sex couples as a protected class. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #59

The 'new generation' of milennials is overwhelmingly secular and support civil rights. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #48

HA! A majority of millennials (like myself) are still religious! UrbScotty Aug 2015 #49

I used the wrong word. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #55

Adding together all religious groups, more millennials have a religious belief than don't. UrbScotty Aug 2015 #58

The religious have mutually exclusive beliefs. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #60

Believers are believers. And 2/3 of millennials are believers! :-) UrbScotty Aug 2015 #62

You say 'sorry' I say 'good' because that population is trending down. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #63

You know what's good? Young people (who mostly believe in God) support marriage equality! UrbScotty Aug 2015 #64

Belief in god carries all sorts of odd baggage. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #65

If belief carries baggage, atheism must carry baggage too. (nt) UrbScotty Aug 2015 #66

Why? Atheism isn't a belief. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #67

There are many beliefs. If everyone else's beliefs have baggage (as you suggest), then UrbScotty Aug 2015 #68

Except atheism isn't a belief. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #69

There's no dodging it. Goose, gander. :-) UrbScotty Aug 2015 #72

Basic english. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #73

Well, if it pleases you to be wrong, be my guest. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #75

Wanting something to be wrong, doesn't make it so. UrbScotty Aug 2015 #77

Says the one pretending a lack of theistic belief is a belief of its own. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #79

The AP didn't make the full of shit statement Leontius Aug 2015 #40
