Richirich713:U people are falling hand like kilode... U just keep dropping red herrings every way. Not a single attempt to criticize the study on it's merits. Only GoodMuyis exec attempted to.. How do these links disprove the Op? U are pointing to five to seven bad atheists in history to show that a study involving over 1,200 people is false. I already explained the difference between anecdotes and statistics. Using anecdote is a fallacy.... U guys really need to do a better job. Poking holes in this study is not that difficult. In fact, I can think of some issues that can be raised criticizing the study... But that would be doing your job for you |

felixomor:Lolz... Tell that to the different universities all over the world that conducted the study... Most studies don't even have up to a thousand people... The links u posted earlier, how many people were involved in the study? |

randomperson: I wasn't attacking the study, I was just analyzing what happens when the dudes grow up, what I noticed is the most murderous rampages ever carried out in human history usually has atheists leading the way, atheists play a huge role in making the 20th century the bloodiest in human history. |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by Richirich713: 11:50am On Jan 20, 2017 |
hopefulLandlord: Don't need to, I look at the big statistics where millions are killed, atheists tend to dominate there. |

Richirich713:So you're just trying to derail the thread? Who led the slavery, world war 1 and 2, genocide in Biafra? |

Richirich713: I'm yet to witness a killing by an atheist every killing, every rape, every embezzlement, every downright horrible things I've seen done was carried out by theists BTW don't derail, face this thread |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by randomperson: 12:01pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
Richirich713:No, they killed in the name of communism. Is communism the same as atheism? |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by Richirich713: 12:05pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
hopefulLandlord: What's there to face, this study only involved over 1,200 people. |

Richirich713:How many people need to be involved in a study to make it valid. |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by Richirich713: 12:08pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
randomperson: Yeah communism grounded in atheism. "Throughout the history of the Soviet Union (1922–1991), Soviet authorities suppressed and persecuted various forms of Christianity to different extents depending on the particular era. Soviet Marxist-Leninism policy consistently advocated the control, suppression, and the elimination of religious beliefs, and actively encouraged atheism during its implementation in the Soviet Union.[1] The state was committed to the destruction of religion,[2][3] and destroyed churches, mosques and temples, ridiculed, harassed, incarcerated and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with [b]atheistic teachings, and generally promoted atheism as the truth[/b] that society should accept.[4][5] The total number of Christian victims of Soviet state atheist policies has been estimated to range between 12-20 million" -Wikipedia |

Richirich713:Answer the question I asked u. Is communism the same thing as atheism |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by Richirich713: 12:16pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
randomperson: No they ain't exactly the same but they just two sides of the same coin.

Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by randomperson: 12:24pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
Richirich713:So they are not the same? Good... Communism is a political cum economic system of government that invests the government with the exclusive right to produce, distribute resources. Atheism is the belief that God doesn't exist or lack of belief that he does. The communists were atheists who were bad people. Just like Hitler was a catholic who was a bad person and Idi Amin was a Muslim who was a bad person... So if u count the democides as the reflection of atheism then the world wars and every civil war caused by a theist is also a reflection of religion So can u address the Op now? |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by Richirich713: 12:40pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
randomperson: Whats there to address, ur study only took over 1.200 kids. If you think religous kids are meaner than secular kids, PROVE IT A study with over 1200 kids is not proof. |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by randomperson: 1:20pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
Richirich713:U keep saying 1200 kids. Are u an authority of demography and statistics or what are u basing your claim that 1200 people are not enough... |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by Richirich713: 2:11pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
randomperson: Prove the claims of the study or its just speculation based on about 1200 kids out of the millions around the world. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by randomperson: 3:29pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
Richirich713:The study itself is proof. U have not been able to show how 1200 children is not enough of a sample... Do u expect them to test millions?? All the studies Christians post about atheists, how many atheists are involved... 1,200 is enough of a sample by any world standard. You are just grappling at straws |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by Richirich713: 4:19pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
randomperson: So essentially u don't got proof. You atheists demand proof for everything except when u have to give the proof. That's not being a "free thinker", that's just calling urself one. 1 Like |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by randomperson: 6:01pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
Richirich713:*facepalm* The study proves the claim. If I want to prove that Germans are taller than Nigerians, do I have to study all Germans and all Nigerians?? U guys will just be murdering reason... If u had simply viewed the post and kept quiet, u wouldn't have made this pitiful comment... The point of a study or survey is to PROVE a claim through the scientific steps of research... |

randomperson: What useless point are you making? Mao Zedong killed over 40million human beings, Stalin was responsible for over 50million, Mussolini also killed his millions, and Hitler over 10million. Not to add Pol Pot. These are human beings, not money or trees or animals historically dead in their millions. And you play it down as a story! This again shows the inner principle of atheism and its disregard for human life. This ungodly fellow is more interested in yapping about Kids saying the darnest things to the seriousness of crime. Yet this shameless ones would almost develop heart attack or stroke when they read that Jesus caused one fig tree to wither. Such a set of confused, confounded, bounded fellows. Satabic manipulation in your lives is so clear you should have a peek. Talking yada yada about statistical evidence like what your fathers did was a fable. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

MrMontella: They are not necessarily true christians. Humans tend to draw closer to God or some god when in problem. Some look for some kind of forgiveness, penance, hope etc It's same thing in accidents and in areas of deep poverty. |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by Richirich713: 7:03pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
randomperson: Lmao, if u wanted to know if Germans are taller than nigerians all u got to do is measure the heights a large number of Nigerians with a large number of Germans. That's it! But suppose u only compared 600 nigerians to 600 Germans, and u took the results as a fact. Can u really called that a fact? Can u really cite that single study as proof? Ur study isn't doing something so simple as comparing heights and it's not considering a large number of kids, it's only taking in account 1200 kids out of millionzzz. That's is not facts or proof, that's a huge generalization on a small amount of data. |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by randomperson: 7:07pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
Image123:All these tantrums and emotions u are ventilating is just masking a lack of an intellectual objection to the claim of the study. Hitler was catholic, the slave masters were Christians, the crusaders were Christians and so on. Christians have been responsible for more deaths than atheists. Also, there have been more bad Christians than bad atheists. The number of catholic priests who molested altar boys alone completely outnumber any number of bad atheists u can compute. It's the Christians on these forum that claim god killing children is good. And that God burning billions of people for eternity is also good. However, all these still don't deal with the Op. The Study claims and proves that religious children are meaner. It's a scientific approach. If u want to criticize the study on the basis of methodology or parameters then be my guest. But your anger and emotions have no intellectual value here. |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by randomperson: 7:08pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
Richirich713:This is so simple... What's the number of people needed in a study to make it valid. U have still not given me an answer... Is it that hard? |
Re: Religious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by randomperson: 7:10pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
Image123:They are not necessarily true Christians? Can't u make valid arguments without resorting to no true Scotsman fallacy?? |
