Enlightened rants...

[The Grand Nudger]

The belief springs from observing what is around the person since birth. That's what leads to the belief that there is a designer.

Is -that- what you think the belief springs from?  Strange, then, that the belief only seems to spring up in believers...despite them observing the same things that anyone else does. Don't you think?

I believe that it's very egotistical to think humanity can calculate and measure anything. 

IKR, inches are soooo presumptuous!

Doubting Christianity is one thing; but stats prove that it is Muslims who are growing so much in Europe; not atheists:

Because people from wealthier western nations have been limiting themselves to fewer children and don't think that birth control is for sluts (don;t get me wrong, we have our regressives..but their daughters sneak out to buy rubbers all the same).  Meanwhile, first generation immigrants (and refuges) are all about popping out the heathens.  It's a disparity that vanishes after a few generations...but it;s pretty well understood.  Good thing, though, that it exists, because alot of western civilization is at or below the replacement rate among the native population. There wouldn;t be anyone to flip the burgers and take out the trash, at some point, without an influx of new poor people to oppress.

Double edge sword, ofc, because by immigrating to those nations muslim mothers and fathers are ensuring that..at some point, their own children will be secularized and, eventually, present the same distribution of atheists as the natives. Last I checked, seven generations was the global average. In the US......it was two, tops. Grandparents often find that their children are indistinguishable from other americans...and not recognizable as having been from the country of their own origin beyond any ethnic "look".....and even that...fading fast. They lose the language, the culture, the heritage, and the religion. They keep the swarthy good lucks, sometimes.

Apparently, we're better at multiculturalism and assimilation. It's ironic that the product of that is fast generational conformity, but we've never seen a good thing we didn't have eyes to take for our own...so, I guess that might account for it.
