The reasons fell under four categories: Nearly all — 96 percent — cited life changes, including moving to college and work responsibilities that prevented them from attending. Seventy-three percent said church or pastor-related reasons led them to leave. Of those, 32 percent said church members seemed judgmental or hypocritical and 29 percent said they did not feel connected to others who attended. Seventy percent named religious, ethical or political beliefs for dropping out. Of those, 25 percent said they disagreed with the church’s stance on political or social issues while 22 percent said they were only attending to please someone else. And, 63 percent said student and youth ministry reasons contributed to their decision not to go. Of those, 23 percent said they never connected with students in student ministry and 20 percent said the students seemed judgmental or hypocritical. “We’re tapping into a lot of different feelings and logistical things as well,” said McConnell, pointing out that this age group is often in a time of transition. But leaving was not an intentional decision for many. Of those who dropped out, 71 percent said they did not plan on it.

    (FB 1548005504 Timestamp) EMERGENT RELIGION: A MARKET COMPETITION —“I don’t think I have the stamina for trying to formulate how we’d construct a religion operationally.”–Curtus Maximus I can define the terms. I think it’s entirely possible. Because it was at one time. And it can be again. It’s actually liberating to understand religion: Narrative(Strategy), Education, Ritual, Oath, Debt – to one another across time. Creating all that is an interesting mission. Like I said, I might consider it after publishing The Law. (Assuming I live long enough.) —“I think the proper thing to do would involve subjecting them all to falsification and letting them compete in the market for religions.”—Curtus Maximus Exactly. Shared vision brother. 😉

    (FB 1548004848 Timestamp) PROPERTARIANISM FALSIFIES DOGMAS, IDEOLOGIES, PHILOSOPHIES, AND RELIGIONS. (worth repeating) Dogma requires a via positiva. Science and law are only via-negativas. Like many people, y’all want a religion or a philosophy instead of a science, logic, and law. I don’t do via-positivas like philosophy and religion. I just do via negativa: what is false and immoral. That leaves universes of non-false, non-immoral possibilities. The question is, why do you want false and immoral possibilities? Science(actions), logic(words), and mathematics (measurements) are not dogmas. THEY FALSIFY THEM. Propertarianism (vitruvianism, acquisitionism, propertarianism, testimonialism, and the algorithmic natural law) is not a religion, a philosophy, or an ideology or a but a science, logic, system of measurement, and body of law – and not a dogma. IT FALSIFIES THEM. YOU MIGHT THINK SCIENCE IS A POSITIVA. IT ISN’T. IT’S A NEGATIVA: A MARKET COMPETITION FOR SURVIVAL FROM FALSIFICATION.

    (FB 1547979567 Timestamp) DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? RELIGION VS IDEOLOGY VS PHILOSOPHY VS LOGIC VS MATHEMATICS VS SCIENCE (worth repeating) – A RELIGION consists of any set of ideas of justification which require belief in, testimony to, or action according to, one or more falsehoods as a cost of inclusion and use. – AN IDEOLOGY consist of any set of ideas that agitate, motivate, or inspire achievement of political ends under majoritarian (monopoly) democracy. An ideology need not be internally consistent externally correspondent, or existentially possible. It need only motivate individuals to act in furtherance of policy. – A PHILOSOPHY consists of any set of internally consistent ideas of decidability which justify pursuit of personal preferences or group goods. – A LOGIC consists of any deflationary grammar of decidability that assists in the falsification by competition of one or more constant relations between states. (Note that one proves nothing logically other than internal consistency, because all premises of external correspondence are forever contingent.) – MATHEMATICS consists of a deflationary grammar of decidability consisting purely of competition between positional names under the preservation of ratios providing a single axis of decidability: position, but in N dimensions, providing commensurability between any set of positional relations of any number of dimensions. – A SCIENCE consists of any set of ideas that provide decidability independent of personal preference or group goods, by the systematic elimination of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit, by the use of measurement and record of actions – demonstrations versus words. – NATURAL LAW of RECIPROCITY (Tort), was produced scientifically (empirically) by trial and error, through the resolution of disputes across personal preferences, group goods, norms, traditions, and intuitions, cumulating always and everywhere that decidability is provided by property, and property consists in the demonstrated investment of human action or inaction anything whether genetic, material, behavioral, or informational.
