Funny, it also contains this message from a senior mod

"This sub-forum is not the place for proselytizing or attempting to convert vegetarians and vegans. It is meant for vegetarians and vegans interested in discussions among themselves and for others who want to learn more about this worldview and are interested in posing non-confrontational questions to vegetarians and vegans. Use our main Food and Drink forum if you want to debate the merits of this worldview (but do a search first to see if your topics have already been discussed

Of course, I don't know what you wrote or how you wrote it

Yes , and the suicide and drug addiction rate , reaching all time highs among that age group would seem to confirm it .

I wish I could believe that. But there are a lot of nuts whose audience has increased because of the internet.

I agree! But, the internet is creating a new era that changes direction every few years. It is hard to predict where it will go. In the old days changes developed from century to century. The possible lack of reproduction among the new generations is concerning. If we believe in evolution the world will belong to those that pass more DNA .

you are kind of playing games with words here. I totally agree that we should be militantly locked into relentless commonsense. f... its my MO here. "deny everything" and "I don't see any evidence of anything" is not militantly locked in common sense.

Don't confuse "moderate" with a person that sees valid points on both sides. I am not into "negotiating" with clearly less valid claims. I just don't care if they are my-god-only or deny everything.

Another question that you probably won't answer. Who is 'denying everything' and what is the 'everything' that they're denying?

Psychologist Jonathan Haidt is concerned with this generation.

What a strange thing to be concerned about.

Do you not believe in evolution? It is a well established fact. Assuming a certain group of people reproduce less than a different group, is this a concern to you?

I answer every question cold. but you can make false naked assertion any time you want.

every time something is brought up its denied by some people. at some point when it is denied all the time we can safely say "its deny everything.

I was also told by trans that we shouldn't talk about any science that theist can use that makes atheism harder to sell. he gave me a speech on it.

in fact, I was reported when somebody ask me for proof of my claim "that the biosphere is better describe as life over non life".

at some point its deny everything.

I'm a millennial. I was raised Catholic, and I became an atheist in 2004 at the age of 14. Lies on the internet played a role in that. However, the Lord found me now in my late 20s and I'm a Christian (not Catholic).
