re: NY Times ... ‘happiest of all’ American wives are ‘religious conservatives.’

I'm a person of faith, but I think the Church gets a lot of things wrong when it comes to sexual activity/relationships, specifically with regard to God's love and salvation.
I just don't go out of my way to convince anyone else of my druthers. In keeping with the thread title, I just want folks to live happy/fulfilling lives.

Fully 73 percent of wives who hold conservative gender values and attend religious services regularly with their husbands have high-quality marriages."
That’s because women and men have separate roles in life and fulfilling them leads to a happy home usually.
The wife needs a man to bring home the bread, and he needs her to take the bread and have dinner ready and nurture their children.

The progressive SJW types are clearly absolutely miserable people. Bitter, angry, and resentful about everything.
Subconsciously they are trying to make everyone else as miserable as they are.
This can't be said enough. It's exactly what is occurring.

They're addicted to being angry and unhappy.

It must be added that the current generation of teens have grown up in a time of unparalleled abundance and they have been pampered and spoiled like no generation before them. They were never told no or taught to do without and are completely entitled.
So when they reach a junction in their lives where they encounter a situation where they don't get what they want, they don't know how to react but to whine and throw a tantrum.

Yeah sure, but let's frame it in a non-bible thumper way.
It's all about risk. Conservatism is less risky than liberalism.
Sure someone can be happy both ways, and maybe some liberals are happier than most conservatives, the issue is that conservatism is the safest path to contentment/happiness. It doesn't mean that you 100% will be happy of you're a conservative, but you stand a better shot at long-term happiness by following a conservative path over 'playing with fire' & 'ignoring oppressive ideology'.
It's not really that hard to understand, but liberalism/risk has it's appeal, especially sexually, but for many it doesn't end as ideally as they thought and then want help from the repercussions of their choice of 'judgement free', risky liberal lifestyle that left them less than happy.

Regarding creation, the first and second laws of thermodynamics show that energy isn't created or destroyed in a closed system
The universe is the macro system, the Earth is a sub system where energy is constantly being introduced by the sun, the ocean is another sub system of the earth where energy is being introduced by the Sun, thermal vents, other processes. The point is life on planet is far from a closed system, energy is constantly being introduced and dissipated by a seemingly infinite number of systems.

We can’t know or prove anything if there is no God. It’s a philosophical argument. God’s mind keeps everything together (order and uniformity) and God’s character is the basis for morality.

But we can if there is a god?
What a silly argument.

I am not much of a philosopher so maybe that's why I am not following the logic that leads one to come to this conclusion

There is a direct cause and effect relationship with death of religion in developed countries the rise of mental illness and depression.
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Parable of the Madman (1882)
Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: "I seek God! I seek God!" -- As many of those who did not believe in God were standing around just then, he provoked much laughter. Has he got lost? asked one. Did he lose his way like a child? asked another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? emigrated? -- Thus they yelled and laughed.
The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes. "Whither is God?" he cried; "I will tell you. We have killed him -- you and I. All of us are his murderers. But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning? Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we smell nothing as yet of the divine decomposition? Gods, too, decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.
"How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it? There has never been a greater deed; and whoever is born after us -- for the sake of this deed he will belong to a higher history than all history hitherto."
Here the madman fell silent and looked again at his listeners; and they, too, were silent and stared at him in astonishment. At last he threw his lantern on the ground, and it broke into pieces and went out. "I have come too early," he said then; "my time is not yet. This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering; it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time; the light of the stars requires time; deeds, though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than most distant stars -- and yet they have done it themselves.
It has been related further that on the same day the madman forced his way into several churches and there struck up his requiem aeternam deo. Led out and called to account, he is said always to have replied nothing but: "What after all are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?"

A poll conducted by the NYT confirming a premise which has been similarly confirmed in the past is what it is. It has little to do with me. It has nothing to do with me "convincing" myself.
What are you "convinced" of in terms of "happiest of all American wives"?

Unfortunately for the unbeliever, God is not dead. He yet lives and is waiting in judgment for those who seek to kill Him.

You don't expect a serious answer do you?
You're directing it at one of the most miserable, delusional posters on the board who (along with his alters) offer nothing to the conversation.
Trying to have a reasoned exchange with DisplacedFightinBobEye is like playing chess with a pigeon if you know what I mean.

They suppressed the other half of the report: the happiest husbands are those married to religiously conservative women, the most unhappy husbands are those married to religious progressives.
If a femunazi Democrat is insufferable, one on jihad is that much worse.

he's not even doing the best troll job on this issue
if you really want to be a troll, you bring up how intelligence and anxiety/depression are linked so it's really just a matter of dumb people being more likely to be religious (For obvious reasons) and that's the REAL story
lots more meat to work with that don't require his drive by quips (when he runs out of material)

That girl is actually very pretty, but it all goes downhill once to get below her first chin.
