Yes, go back and re-read the report.

You're trying to conflate my use of 2.1 (for the replacement rate) with your use of 2.1 (fertility rates from the past that are irrelevant now)

You need to go back and re-read. You're confused like usual.

And what % will they be at when its all said and done (all said and done = all the women currently accounted for are past their childbearing years)?


You keep trying to separate populations already accounted for in the 2.1 that matters (not the fertility rates from 50+ years ago that are irrelevant). That's illogical and/or dishonest.

This simple concept has now been explained to you at least 5 times by now

Old Testament = We all descend from Adam & Eve

New Testament = Love one another as you love yourself

If Jesus Christ is the root of Christianity, seems the path is simple and direct. If you can not follow his simple words, how can you call yourself Christian?

I'm curious what % of answers will be from sources who aren't Jesus

The most ridiculous part about all of this is there’s nothing not about 20 in this photo. They’re acting like it’s an entire section.

In 2000 in MS, there was a snug group of south Americans that would lead the “Ole’ Ole’ Ole’” chant at football games.

There’s nothing new under the sun.

Our current birthrate is 1.6.

If Conservatives are at 1.4 and liberals are at 1.09 how are we getting to 1.6?

Hrm, its almost like time exists and many of the women who were referenced in that survey have yet to have children.

Since our replacement rate is 1.6, conservative women have to be a good bit higher than that to offset liberal lower birth rates. Conservative women are probably closer to 2.0.

You're using a bad source, is the best explanation.

It's a survey and not based on the totality of the data

And it clearly under-represents minority birth rates

I saw you're edit. I keep having to tell you those stats weren't based on race. Seems it finally sunk into your thick head.

Also, youre pathetic...

"Show me the stats!"

"Noooo! Not those stats!"

You had no issue claiming conservative women were reproducing at 1.4, but now you don't like those stats.

No way you're a lawyer. Unless you're DEI.

Bottom line, conservatives have a higher birth rate. If it's currently 1.6, conservative are higher. Probably around 2.0.

You are the one who criticized your own data.

You just asked me to explain why it didn't make sense to you.

I tried to make note that I was using your data multiple times. I knew you'd end up here.

I didn't do it every time, but I did it several times. You can go look it up.

I would never use a survey to counter actual data and that's why I'm a good lawyer

Per your data, it's below replacement level

You have nothing to back this "2.0' claim up. You're both criticizing your own data, waiving a white flag, and making shite up all in one

Also, 2.0 would still be below the replacement level

There were also over 25 million Latin immigrants over that period, many of them illegal and all of them having lots of kids. I think that's the nuance missing.

As far as replacement rate, Latinos are almost flat now too. The US is going to stop growing absent immigration. I'm not saying that's good or bad (ok it's bad), but it's a fact.

But with Trump's pause we have an opportunity to be selective regarding immigration. Admit those that are going to benefit the US. People that are smart, not just hard working.

Correct. It's a SES/SOL stat, and the Latino SES/SOL is increasing, so birthrate will decline.

This has nothing to do with culture, religion, race, etc. It's about SES and SOL.

It's why Indians and Muslims will never occupy a substantial % of our population, and why these projections about white people losing population share are typically wrong (they don't model in the decline in Latinos).

The shift to race is gross, too. However, since Latinos are Western culture, the nativists can't hide behind that designation with them. All that's left is race.

Race matters to everyone, but not always the same reasons.

You were the one who though the 1.4 stat was in reference to white women. And this is after I corrected you repeatedly.

You never presented anything but your own unintelligent opinion.

Just say you were too busy derailing other threads and were lazy/multitasking. It's fine. Looking at your post count and how often you derail threads (you even tried to detail this one, saying its not about illegal immigration) I'd believe it.

Per your misunderstanding of my data. The truth is the data hasn't matured enough to determine what its final state looks like.

On a scale of 1-10 how pissed are you that I was right and conservatives are head and shoulders out-reproducing liberals?

You argue on here all the time sin doesn’t matter because Jesus died for your sins.
Show me a quote where I have ever said that sin doesn't matter.

quote:

He paid the price so you don’t have to go to hell and be tortured for eternity.
Now this I've said, but that's not the same as "sin doesn't matter". All sin deserves damnation, including the sin Christians (those trusting in Jesus) commit. The difference is true Christians are repentant and come to God in humility, seeking His forgiveness. They then go on to pursue obedience, even if they fall short.

Sin does matter, as it is an offense against a holy God. It's why it took the Son of God to pay the price of sin, because only His life is of infinite worth as the God-man.

quote:

I think that is a shitty theology, because it says you can be a shitty person as long as you believe in Jesus being your substitutionary atonement sacrifice.
If you think all you need to do to be saved is state some sort of magical incantation or give a false profession of faith, then you are mistaken.

True faith comes with true contrition and repentance for sin. Someone who has done a lot of bad stuff in their life can actually turn away from it with tears of sorrow and be forgiven. It's actually a hopeful message: no matter what you've done in your past, there is hope for you in Jesus Christ. No one is too far gone.

However, that doesn't mean that you can keep doing whatever you want to do without consequence.

quote:

Well that’s another example of why you are a fricking retard.
I never tire of your cogent reasoning. It puts everyone to shame. Have you considered putting on a seminar on how to utilize reason, and not ad hominem attacks, to persuade people? I'm sure others could learn a thing or two about how to show why atheism is such a reasonable belief system. You are quite the spokesperson for it
