Anyone Else Suddenly Start Being Religious After 30?

George Carlin was a retarded atomized guy who said rioting was fine, America should have no moral standards or normative ethics. Gee look how that worked out. Trannies reading to children, people burning down cities and a country so split its impossible for anyone to have a discussion.

Its funny because Americans think the outside world hates them for being patriotic or something, the world hates what they think America is based on the rootless nihilistic cultural weirdos it produces like Carlin. Id rather my family be on the verge of starvation in Somalia but have meaning and purpose that be another atomized individual like Carlin wanted everyone to become.

It’s called comedy. Relax.

Sure but his comedy is just saying retarded atomized crap. Thats just my take. Im perfectly relaxed brother.

This is why many Somalians are thankful to not have been born in the US.

I know you are saying this facetiously but ive seen so many Muslims come here and then after a few years be so disgusted with the society they’ve gone back to village life. At some point the dead society isn’t worth the extra cash.

Migration to the west is purely economic. The culture isn’t why people come here.

I expected a discussion of people becoming religious. Not an argument regarding the nuances.

I forgot - internet. My bad.

For your future information. Through all of Church history it has been the nuances that have caused Church splits and entirely new denominations. And all of this started before Al Gore ever dreamed of the internet.

Thanks for graciously educating me while proving my point.

Then I suppose I have no idea what your point is. And what did the internet have to do with it? There was a time when I could only do this face to face, or a little later via email.

You might want to retire that word.

Don’t you find it odd that the chart shows an IQ of 100 is above average? And that 20 points above 100 is the same y as 15 points below?

I hate to even contribute to a thread like this, but damn I’m amazed it’s still ongoing!
I have never heard the word ā€œatomizedā€ used this way but I don’t even want to ask what it means in this context.
PWI is a weird place.

As long as OP wants, I like to respond. I believe he has many misgivings about the Bible, which I will defend. And I have but started. His thinking that the Bible disallows capital punishment, because Christians are not called to follow the Law brought me in 100%.

Disclaimer: I know that many Christians don’t support the death penalty, but I can clearly show that the Bible does.

From my experience I completely reject the Wonderlic as an intelligence gauge (granted n=1.) Background: I had completed a course two years earlier in ordinary differential equations where the solutions were almost exclusively series. I had become very good with number sequences and series solutions. I got an ā€œAā€.

In 1970 I was job searching in my home town. 4 of the employers used the Wonderlic test. The first time I took the test I got a 28, and each subsequent time my score increased, as I was becoming quickly refreshed in sequences. The 4th test I scored a 43. That employer said that he would not hire me because he knew I would not stay.

My point: which of those scores accurately portrays my intelligence? The more I took the test the better I got. Might everyone’s score also increase? I know I might be a special case, but nonetheless, it gives me pause.

Thanks @anon18050987. Your deleted posts makes my post look totally arbitrary.

I probably should delete mine too, but I am committed to not delete anything that I thought compelled to post.

So to any who wonder what in the world I am responding about, it was whether the Wonderlic Test score is a valid gauge of a person’s intelligence.

I’ll take you at your word and respond to your posts with that in mind, going forward.
