I don't disagree with a lot of what he wrote there. Obviously, the gender gap thing has been disproven to the point where it's a discrediting mark off the bat when it's brought up. My biggest problem is that he's laying blame with religion when it's more apparent that it was a cultural thing that also infected religion (otherwise why are all these different religions having issues with it?). In other words, to me it's like blaming architecture for slavery because slaves were used to build things.TheCatt wrote: Semirelevant to the hijacked discussion

I mostly get your point... but if society changes, and the religious organization doesn't...Vince wrote:I don't disagree with a lot of what he wrote there.

Religious organizations are institutions. They always take longer to change. The more entrenched the issue at hand, the harder it is to change it. We still put up Christmas trees and most people have no clue as to why. Or carving pumpkins for Halloween. Not saying customs within the church shouldn't change, but I understand why it takes time. I'm not lumping in the changing of doctrine of the gospels, though. We don't get to change God's word because society has changed.

My conception of the object of what the church is, is to try and stop change. They sort of have a system that worked, and was stable, for a long time. But then traditional marriage got challenged, and divorce got challenged, and the idea of parenthood out of wedlock challenge, and the perceived stability of 1800-1960 got shaken hard.
So, the church tries to stop change, to stop what they see as the rip in the fabric of society, that seemed to work for about 95% of the people. And now those social moors are gone, and it seems like the entire generation of Millennials is completely miserable and lost.
Not saying it's connected, not even saying it's wrong, but it's interesting to wonder if the dots connect.

I've been thinking about that a lot lately as well. I think we have to have a sense of meaning and that what we do means something beyond ourselves.GORDON wrote: So, the church tries to stop change, to stop what they see as the rip in the fabric of society, that seemed to work for about 95% of the people.

An ICE spokesperson in Detroit said that Aldaoud had “an extensive criminal history“ that involved at least 20 convictions from 1998 to 2017, and had twice been ordered removed from the U.S.
The convictions included assault with a dangerous weapon, domestic violence, theft of personal property, and breaking and entering, according to ICE. A POLITICO search of court records showed Aldaoud served 17 months for a home invasion in 2013.

CNN runs an article back in January about this poor illegal immigrant that had to resort to declaring sanctuary in a church because of the evil government shutdown and the evil crackdown on illegal immigration.

Now why would a news organization bury this critical information? It's almost like they know most readers don't make it down that far in articles (that's a fact, look it up) and don't want the reader to know that part.Vince wrote: An ICE spokesperson in Detroit said that Aldaoud had “an extensive criminal history“ that involved at least 20 convictions from 1998 to 2017, and had twice been ordered removed from the U.S.
