Heck, I’ve been going to church for a long time and believe in God. Jesse has opened my eyes to other things which has helped me out since I’m waiting to move back down south and hopefully find a real church again. I’ll still watch Jesse of course.

Have they forgived us for killing Jesus? Sarah Silverman would suggest that hasn't been the case.

??

can you site the data?

That made me laugh.

why?

It was very predictable.

absolutely

I’ll have to find the 1990’s study by the US Government about Sex Abuse within homosexual house holds.

if you quote "the data" you should probably be able to back up your claims

No.

studies show that if you believe in god you are scientifically a beta male

(thats the same thing you did)

I personally believe that is an issue with the Church not raising Men.

I've been at this long enough to laugh when someone wants me to Google things for them not for intellectual curiosity, but just so they can waste time. Name one factor of well-being that homosexuals have better off than heterosexuals. STD risk? Abuse risk? Mental illness diagnosis? Drug abuse risk?

@Officer_Caleb was that to my joke or @Deleted User

Sure, I'll spend an hour googling the dozen factors so you can spend the entire time just discounting them or counter-googling with your own "studies" by the APA that are purely propaganda.

I’m not very good a picking up joke however it is an actual issue.

oh i was saying a baseless claim but cited "studies" with no proof they exist

"Look, this **meta-analysis** that says 'Homosexuals are not disproportionately abuse victims if you control for SES.'"

You've got to understand how tiring this all is.

@Deleted User If you dont trust the scientific community then I cant have this discussion with you

There are a thousand ways to quantify the Fallen State is not utopia but you have to first know we're in a Fallen State.

You trust the scientific community? That is pathetic.

Yeah?!?!??!

Do you not?

Stephen Jay Gould is a "scienceman" and when he makes an absolutely false statement, like how skulls were mismeasured, he's someone to **trust**?

No

I cannot describe how insanely pathetic that is.

To put your full faith into an institution.

You discredit a whole community because of a few persons?

*but make fun of those bible thumpers*

I believe in science as a valid institution, I don't however put my full faith into it nor do I ever have an appeal to authority fetish.

Wait do you believe in like general scientific knowledge?

/theory

Yes.

However I do not and will not believe in popularity and credentials as a replacement for data.

Im talking about scientific consensus

You must understand how tiring it is to read creative writing trying its best to sound true and hearing some sheep blabber on about how *it's from the most prestigious journal in the field*, *it's from the most popular academic in the field*, or *it's from the approved organization.*

Consensus is a false path.
