@the-grifter removed their quoted postEurope is not very smart. I guess they are a victim of their own laws which they thought were good. On the plus side there are some countries that know better and a very unfriendly towards Islam eg mosques are not allowed, hijab etc is banned in public places, no Islam instruction in schools etc.
@the-grifter removed their quoted postEurope 2065 was probably already going to be somewhat different.

@Rajk999 saidNothing to say about Christian instruction being imposed upon children in public schools in the USA?

(I do understand that you are somewhat personally isolated from such problems given your convenient perch on Tiki-Torch Island. 😉 )
@the-grifter removed their quoted postSure, man. You have delivered in spades. Keep on digging if you like. 😉
@Arkturos saidChristian instruction is a good thing and parents should be thankful if schools are imposing such instruction on their kids. Where I live has nothing to do with this discussion.

@Paul-Martin saidI dont know what you call evidence. Most of these things can be established by being aware of your surroundings and watching what is going on with people. You dont need an expert or a national survey to tell you for example that people who go to school, have an education, marry later in life, have children after marriage, are generally more successful than those who dont. This is one pattern that Christians tend to follow.
I'd love to see you back that up with evidence rather than just wishful thinking.

@Rajk999 saidIt is not as simple as that. If we follow the patterns that people lived by hundreds of years ago, would that work today? We can't stop the time at a certain point in time to say: this is how it should be, let's do it that way. Things change, we change, always have done.

The post that was quoted here has been removedI gave one example of good life decisions encouraged by Christianity. I notice you backed away from commenting on it. There are many other situations where these decisions impact on success. I am certainly not saying that all Christians follow these, but those who do tend to be more successful, happy and content.
