Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD
adding two fallacies together doesn't achieve coherence, it just slightly increases the work to untangle the errors. I think your brain is wired to detect fallacies in my sentences even when there aren't any. Not really. You are making it harder to untangle because you're not disclosing the fact th...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD
You literally approvingly shared a study, less than a few weeks ago, that provided a strong argument against it. LMAO! Well, I'll acknowledge that you are one of the few intelligent people on this board, and we can at least have a discussion, unlike with these other geniuses. The study concluded th...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD
"Consensual" doesn't entail "no harm". Plenty of consensual relationships end up being harmful. In fact, "no harm if consensual" not only avoids circularity, it doesn't follow at all. Subtract 10 from the second age. The problem is you're assuming a relationship between a 26-year old and a minor ca...

Re: Here's why the decreasing fertility rate in the US is a concern
You’re really stretching to make a very strange argument. I’m trying to figure out what’s behind it, and it smells very red pill/MGTOW/incel to be quite honest… It's not strange. Read this study https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23780231211031320 I don't follow Red Pill/MGTOW/Incel cont...

Re: Here's why the decreasing fertility rate in the US is a concern
A lot of things will change in the future. Is there something wrong with that? Maybe we should start a Caucasian zoo to mate secular caucasian humans and ensure they don’t die out? I don't think most Muslims are very liberal. Muslims are more likely to be Red Pill than feminist. So, do you now unde...

Dating
Let's also consider the fact that LDS women were less selective in the past; many would settle for Mr. Not So Active. Liberal women were willing to marry conservative men, and conservative women were willing to marry liberal men. However, that's not the case anymore. These days, liberal women will n...

Will LDS members in Utah be the majority again in the upcoming decades?
UT is somewhat similar to Montana; both are conservative states and have approximately the same percentage of Christians and the same percentage of religiously unaffiliated individuals, according to Pew. Both have a large majority of white residents. However, their fertility rates differ: 54.8 for M...

Re: Here's why the decreasing fertility rate in the US is a concern
Why, because the religious people would see this and magically stop reproducing? Check this out. In 2021, there were 5,798 more children born in Utah than in Oregon. However, Oregon is more racially diverse than Utah and has about a million more people. So, how can this be? https://worldpopulationr...

Re: Here's why the decreasing fertility rate in the US is a concern
You’re conflating a lot of variables. Again the largest one is wealth: In an article published in Nature, Myrskylä et al. pointed out that "unprecedented increases" in social and economic development in the 20th century had been accompanied by considerable declines in population growth rates and fe...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD
I was focusing on the point. People reason in circles when they express deeply held beliefs, such as beliefs about God or the Bible; beliefs they have difficulty justifying or even comprehending objectively. That's BS, man. I wasn't engaging in circular reasoning. You seem to engage in confirmation...
