Less attendance doesn't mean less membership. People are congregating in other spaces besides expensive church buildings.

According to Pew Research, religious adherence is actually on the rise worldwide.

May I ask where you live?

I'm in a college town. State College, PA. Yes, it's affluent enough to make home ownership unattainable for most. Even amongst the non-students in the area, financially independent young women simply don't exist.

I own a yoga studio downtown and so I must admit that I talk to a fair amount of young women, albeit in a professional setting.

What's weird about my observation? Do you know many young women who are financially independent?

Why are you upset about it?

I've got young kids. Waking up early is the best time for me to be productive and enjoy solitude.

Yes. We'll be ruled by a minority (Christian nationalists) because we think that downvoting on social media is sufficient participation in politics.

But isn't this just democracy in action? The mandate of the people? If a majority vote for these principles then it must become the law of land.

The fact of the matter is that the fanatical Christians want results more than the left does. While we're on here, uselessly upvoting and downvoting, they're organizing their communities to achieve real world results. And except for a few notable characters, they're playing by the rules of the game.

What part of this illegal?

My three year old is speaking complete sentences with correct syntax and grammar. And the ideas that he expresses are mostly sane. The next challenge is getting him to stop talking for a minute or two.

Kids understand language well before they're able to speak it, and so I think he has about two years of backlogged thoughts that he's trying to get out as soon as possible.
