I also read your summary. Neither of which impact my original statement... or even yours that you posted in return. Perhaps that's what *you* should read more carefully.

How about we start with yours since I would hope that understanding words you typed yourself shouldn't be a huge obstacle.

Starting with what you stated here:

"Analysis does not equal unhappiness."


Why quite right! It doesn't. But what you said last post was:


Neither is "Atheists post more negatively on twitter."


But that was a simple descriptive statement of what was contained in the article findings. They DO post more negatively on twitter. At least in the findings of this study.


Hopefully none of that was too difficult to follow, and if not then going back and reading what I originally said again should prove enlightening.

Isn't that just a longwinded way of saying... gcomeau Jun 2013 #2
No, it isn't. rug Jun 2013 #3

Read the language analysis more closely. rug Jun 2013 #6
Ok, I did. gcomeau Jun 2013 #10
Let me see if I understand you after plodding through your clumsy snark. rug Jun 2013 #14
No, the study says that. gcomeau Jun 2013 #15
I did. Nowhere did it say 'Christians on twitter appear to follow the 'ignorance is bliss' guide'. rug Jun 2013 #16
Yes. It did. gcomeau Jun 2013 #17
It didn't in the least say they were less thoughtful. rug Jun 2013 #18
Peculiar how exactly? -eom gcomeau Jun 2013 #19
It requires a very narrow definition of thought. rug Jun 2013 #20
Yes, I'm aware that there are, shall we say... gcomeau Jun 2013 #21
I am also aware of the display of rigorous thought bound by preconceived notions. rug Jun 2013 #22
That would require... gcomeau Jun 2013 #23
That would require an analysis of what you consider silly assumptions. rug Jun 2013 #24
They also mostly tweet bible quotes as something that's supposed to be inspirational. Neoma Jun 2013 #7
Mostly? I don't think that's the case with this study. rug Jun 2013 #8
Maybe so, but I'd be disappointed if they used the people who quotes a lot as part of the study. Neoma Jun 2013 #13
I get that from some of my aunts... it's mind numbing. -eom gcomeau Jun 2013 #12
Well, that's kind of interesting but I wouldn't put much weight in it at all. cbayer Jun 2013 #9
