Interesting article in the buzz section

I found this amusing and wondered what others think of it

Hard to say until the actual study findings come out in September.

Guess I am not as excited as you.....I look at it as another study with numbers.

[MrShorty]

I agree with Pam, I don't think there's much to say until the actual numbers are published. After the study is published, it will be interesting to see:

 

1) If 6000 people, spread across multiple Christian/other religions, is large enough really draw the kind of conclusions he will claim. If religious affiliation is randomly representative, the LDS sample will likely be smaller than Catholic/Protestant.

 

2) Will the results also be correlated to some measure of "activity level." I have seen this effect in other studies -- often things are more closely related to activity level than to self-reported affiliation.

 

3) The usual rate of sexless marriage (10 or fewer sexual encounters per year) across the US is about 20%. If LDS really have a lower incidence, it will be interesting to see just how much lower.

And to be honest...I don't really care.

My one interest in the article would be the opportunity to say "See?  Mormons aren't a bunch of fuddy duddies in such matters!" if the difference really is significant.

 

Though I think the tendency towards large families is enough of a clue as it is...

And to be honest...I don't really care.

That wasn't asked.....Lol

Oh yes it was. It falls under "what others think about it."  So there.
