You are projecting your “experience” onto others. It’s confirmation bias.
The fact is, your “objections” can be applied to ANY social “science” that is in existence today. You just discount what you don’t like, and latch onto what you do.
In essence, your religion isn’t much different than the straw-man that you contend against.
I think you are the one projecting. You ask me what's wrong, I tell you. You attack me by saying that ALL social sciences's must be invalid. I correct you by saying that there are proceedures. Youa attack me again and say that I must prove my criticism - I point out that it is the mission of the publisher to defend their article with fact.
Now, I'm the one projecting? If you read the posts - you will see that YOU have been accused of projecting by almost everone who has responded to you, and it's quite obvious you are.
Can you provide ANYTHING - and I'll be quite lenient as to what 'ANYTHING' means - ANYTHING to support that this study has any validity?
This study could have concluded the existance of the Easter Bunny, with the evidence they provided. There is NOTHING there, other than some 'findings'.
As such, those findings are meaningless - can you prove otherwise? It's not projecting ... it's called 'critical thinking'.
You do not know me, you have no idea what church I belong to, yet you are PROJECTING your insecurities on to me. I have defended my point - you have brought absolutely nothing but attacks, challenges and now you are projecting your insecurities on to me. Grow up.
