A) Don't care, again 100 people leaves a 10% error. B) Yeah, I'm sure every article that cites the study is wrong. LOL C) Okay, source? Again, you've brought nothing to the table at all. And I've actually brought a counter-source, or did you miss that? D) Deflecting? haha, I made it abundantly clear that you don't have a damn clue what you're talking about and showed you the facts of the matter. It was not her atheism, but her friend's atheism which prompted the study. No, I don't have to think "what is most likely" I can read exactly why and don't need to assume, which you continue to do. Not very wise, not very wise at all. E) Charity is an example of moral behavior, but it is not morality. Confining morality to one example and then making a judgement upon it is quite dimwitted. It's pretty clear you have nothing to bring to the table and don't understand much about research, debate, morality, etc. See ya. |
A). Your continued arguement of this point is just pure ignorance to social science Research methods...
B) Every article? No... but quite a few do. If you follow science in the media at all, you sould know this. They always get studies wrong and exagerrate what they say.
C) Your source wasn't a counter source. That was talking about... God priming. Do you know what god priming is? If you had journal access you could look at that first article and find a numbr of supporting studies. Since pretty much all research studies begin with a literature review. Well that and the fact that said study was actually 3 studies that all came to the same conclusion.
D) Again... this seems to be pure ignorance to social sciences. Social sciences collect data and then infer results. Because you can't measure motivations and emotions like you can say, gravity.
E) Again, do you or do you not believe in moral relatvism? If you do. Specific examples that have more or less always held consistant as moral are the only things you can measure to judge morality.
If you have two groups except one group thinks it's morally right to drink cofee, and the other thinks it's morally incorrect to drink coffee.... no comparison can be made on morallity based on drinking coffee. This goes all the way up to crazy things like always forcing women to cover their heads. If you believe in moral relatvism... you can't use those things for comparison.
It's clearly obvious that your the one who doesn't know anything about research. Nor apparently moral relatvism. Which is odd... being a moral absolutist who is an atheist honestly just makes you a pretty illogical atheist..
It's like being an atheist and believing in modal realism.
Your just giving up one "fantasy" for another.
