WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER...

[Huggy Bear]

Haha, wow.

You pulled that tactic straight out of FIDEL's book, loose the argument so change the argument to the definition of a word...

Pathetic.

I just want to remind everyone reading this thread to go back and re-read it, and judge for themselves just how stupid Nappies here is, considering he started arguing against something he didn't understand and, further, dodged almost every rebuttal put to him. I suspect that even if the part of his brain (I'm presuming he has one here, which is probably a presumption too far) which is responsible for assimilating and compiling information was replaced with an expert's in political discourse, he would still continually not get the issue he has taken a dump over. And in order to 'lose' an argument, he'd have to actually have one and know at least a little bit about what he was talking about.

No arguments were changed as evidenced in the thread, but Huggie's IQ dipped into negative figures, which I think might be a first.

You should have quit while you were behind, but nooooo, you still had to get your two cents in, even after seeing your boy... Parkers Tan get dismantled.

So my IQ is negative? funny.

Whoa, two examples! I guess Denmark, Sweden, Australia and so on just ceased to exist!

Denmark is in fact NOT secular

Let me briefly summarize what the State-church system implies:

• According to the constitution (§ 54), the Lutheran-evangelic Church is the Danish People’s Church (“Folkekirke”), and is, as such, supported by the State, which means that the Lutheran-evangelic religion and its institutions and churches are given a favored place among religions in Danish society. All tax-paying citizens, regardless of their personal religious beliefs, thus contribute to the priests and bishops of the “Folkekirke.”

• Practically all citizens are automatically born as members of the “Folkekirke.” Not to be so demands that the citizens take the initiative to leave the church. At present 83 percent of the Danish population belong to the “Folkekirke.”

My point to you was that secularism had nothing to do with a societies happiness and was purely coincidental as it relates to the list, yet you want me to define secularism for you.... irrelevant.

Since you guys don't like the data I provide I'll use the list you posted.

And finally, no, not 'capiche' you pigeon. Your links don't marry up to the data presented by abaris just a couple of posts ago:

I reiterate - countries that have secular institutions and secular structures of government not only tend to be happier, they tend also to be much more productive economically and more cohesive socially.

There are over twice the amount of secular governments versus non-secular yet of the top 15 countries on that list, 6 are non-secular and 2 are ambiguous with Denmark (non secular) topping the list.

(I included Norway in the non secular group because they didn't officially become secular until mid 2012, the report from your link was done between 2010-2012, another reason why you don't use old data, but you guys insisted)

So I say again, according to your own list.....

And you ignored that all the top 10 states are secular.

Answer my question re: what you think secularism is (we all know you think secular = atheist but I want you to say it), and reply to the rebuttals, or GTFO.

YOU sir, are just plain wrong! In fact, using your logic and data, most happy societies tend to be non-secular.....
