@realcaseyrollins @ArdanianRight @snow @amerika @icedquinn @ChristiJunior That's probably why I see more agnostic scientists than atheist scientists. Mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers have tried to come with experiments, formulas, arguments, etc to prove whether or not God or gods exist and they always end up being inconclusive.
There is also seems to be a decline in science as well as religion. As what @verita84 said in that we are seeing a rise of politically/ideologically motivated pseudo-science. There have always been divides in scientific theories and research but I think it has increased in the past number of years and now there are political motivations behind them.
Not only that but there is also a rise of anti-intellectualism in our society. We have people who take pride of being lazy and uneducated and openly brag about it. People don't seem to be academically motivated anymore. Our role models are entertainment celebrities rather than scientists, engineers, and philosophers. People care more about the latest iPhone revision or the current celebrity drama than scientific breakthroughs. I honestly believe that most people haven't cared about scientific breakthroughs since the moon landings.

Also, can we make a point of always calling it Microsoft #GitHub from now on please? Thanks.
@ChristiJunior @icedquinn @realcaseyrollins @ArdanianRight @amerika @verita84 Well, Christianity itself is already divided. It's even divided racially (at least here in the US). Blacks tend to be Baptist, Hispanics/Latinos tend to be Catholic, etc.
The decline of Christianity seems to stem from the destruction of the family unit really. The lack of family honor in the modern western world means that children don't share the same traditions and values as their parents, so they are less likely to go to church or practice their religion if their parents had. The bible also has talked about how people should honor their parents even during adulthood which is incompatible with the individualist values of modern western culture.
The destruction of the family unit has also led to the rise of feminism (remember the second wave feminists were called the "me generation") and LGBT which is generally incompatible with Christian values. This has led many to embrace atheism and agnosticism. Now, practicing Christians, even in the more moderate forms, are generally painted as bigots who can't get with the times.

>America has just enough freedom to destroy itself.
More like not enough freedoms to destroy itself. Freedom should also include freedom of association. A true free country wouldn't have anti-discrimination laws. People will naturally create voluntary communities based off of race, culture, religion, etc via private property. This seems to be the best compromise in my opinion.
Most modern "libertarians" don't realize that this is the actual libertarian approach.
@ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior @matrix Instagram users need to be cyberbullied as well. These types of apps are cancer.

There's a problem. The problem with the original was that the platforms blended with the painted backgrounds which made it hard to judge where you can actually go. Hopefully, they added invincibility frames because that was something the original games lacked.
