That's the thing, there's

That's the thing, there's nothing in Glacier's comment that warrants skepticism, so I'm not sure what Nyar's issue is.

You don't think the notion that the 1960 was "the most religious decade in US history" warrants some skepticism?

Just off the top of my head I'd guess the Second Great Awakening; you know the one that spawned dozens of movements and new denominations (including yours I think Breezy).

It warrants interesting

It warrants interesting discussions. The Billy Graham era certainly brought massive revivals, the population in the United States was larger than during the Second Great Awakening; it also had television, satellite, radio, and means of communications that were absent in the 1800's. So either era seems to me a possible contender as the most religious timeframe.

But that's not the approach you took. You began with skepticism about the ability to measure religiosity. You then stated that his sources used different measurements. You're arguing against the internal validity of the claim, not how it compares to other religious periods.

That is just it; I'm trying to get the metric so I can compare it to other periods. I can't compare them if we don't know the metric. This has been aggravated by the fact that no one seem able to give me the metric. I'm skeptical that a meaningful (weasel word) metric exists; but at this point I'll take anything!

That should have everyone's skeptic alarm screeching and flashing red lights.

Marriage isn't the problem it

Marriage isn't the problem it's the misandry with which gynocentric family courts are prejudicial against men. That there is the problem.

Once the hypergamous nature of females is acknowledged by the courts and women are seen as equals not victims marriage might become more viable for men.

No rational man in 2018 should take the risk of divorce rape.

Ohhh, @Terminal Dogma, my

Ohhh, @Terminal Dogma, my first impulse was to tell you to f*** off, but for the sake of the thread (and my peace of mind), I'll try to reply.

- The most important problem of marriage is divorce, as the most important problem of life is dead. Truth of truism that really takes us nowhere.

- Misandry? Really? You have the male prosecution complex and the white prosecution problem. I don't why don't you add the Christian one and you will hit the jackpot. Most days you give Atheism (and especially rationality) a bad name.

- "hypergamous nature of females". Any serious source for this hilarious affirmation? And please, this time avoid those close- to-nazism publications you sometimes bring us. I said serious.

-Not in 2018, but I know one very rational man who's taking the risk in 2019.
