Can This Be True?

“College graduates are more likely to maintain their religious beliefs and practices than those who never attend college.”

It can’t be true. Who are these guys trying to fool? Only dummies and fools fail to abandon their religion when they have a chance.

Its just propaganda……The more educated a person is the less they need or believe in organized religions……

The first rule in controlling huge masses of people is:

1. Dumb then down with distraction, bread and circuses

2. keep them superstitious

I’m with lookoutbelow. Can’t be true. Otherwise, the Reds in Mississippi and such states would not vote religious tickets. Raleigh/Durham in NC has a high concentration of college graduates and they vote Blue. The rest of the state, with a lower concentration of college grads, is Red.

True story. My good friend is a PhD student at a very expensive private university in NYC. His father is a pastor in a modest community. My friend tells me that their lives were lies. Their family is very repressed and miserable but they have to put up a facade of perfection. He felt miserable at home but could never talk to his parents. He now hates religion and wants nothing to do with it. Well, I told him to be grateful because without religion, he wouldn’t be getting his education. Studying and living in Manhattan costs $100k++/year. Multiply that by 7 to 10 years. It’s all paid for by his father’s ministry “business.”

I think that the customers of religion are like home-buyers. The difference is that they always buy high.

Perry, anecdotes are interesting, but comparisons of large groups is what gets papers published. Show me the data, man, to refute the professor’s findings.

Surprise, there are some hucksters who use religion to con folks. Your friend’s father was not the first. And, I’ll go out on a limb here: he will not be the last.
