"Atheists and agnostics have a much lower divorce rate than Christians"

I'd like to know where you got that statistics from?

[Netwriter]

@Cherimoyah See video information. Also realize this video is 5 years old.

1500 years ahead in science and societal progress.

Why the fuck would you use the imperial Japanese flag?

[Netwriter]

@fredjustsucks I can only blame it on ignorance. My bad.

@theholeyknight You are one very sharp researcher I see. Had you just read the video information you would find the links. The statistics are as old as the video, but haven't changed much.

Religion does not produce as advertised. Using the bible for morality will give you the ok to own slaves, kill your kids for talking back, subjugate women, human sacrifice, killing witches, sell your daughter into sexual slavery. Religion is a curse to mankind.

@TheBornNatural I love it when mentally challenged trolls come to one of my videos, reveal their stupidity, find themselves in way over their heads then try, to extricate themselves from the conversation and blame me. You are a real piece of trailer trash work.

The first week I was in England in '71, I was knocked out by a thief stealing a woman's purse on the opposite end of an underground metro tube station. It was full of rush hour commuters & hundreds of people just stepped out of the thief's way as he ran toward me all the way on the other end of the huge crowded platform. It was just me and him. I blocked him, we both got knocked out, the purse was recovered, thief apprehended. I'm a born-again Christian. This vid's got2b atheist propaganda.

Does homocide imply killing homosexuals? :)

I beg to differ on the UK side of things. I have just returned to Japan now after 5 years living there and I experienced extremely high crime in the form of anti-social behaviour and personal crime (ie attacks on an individual's property or person). Along side this was crime against the general public and public property. Admittedly this was mostly commited by teenagers or those under 25, and mostly by, from what I percieved to be, those from less fortunate housing estates.

@Qualia I agree this person doesn't know what they're on about!

It's an interesting video. Not saying the the facts are wrong, but it must be remembered that correlation does not imply causation. Also interesting to note that the UK now has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Europe.
