You want to keep moving the target of the discussion, fine. But I'll review just so we have historical perspective.

You challenged what you called my "definition of righteousness." I objected and said I don't have one of my own. I just adhere to the standard definitions that have been around since the beginning of time.

You bet me that the people representing a group that chooses this definition don't measure up to your group. I said fine, you pick the 1.4 million a year women and the 1.4 million a year men responsible for choosing abortions instead of choosing the responsibility of the well being or the child they reproduced. I will pick an equal number of people attempting to live a righteous life of responsibility for their reproduced children. We can compare the two groups on measures of responsibility for societal ills.

In general I want to compare them on, drug abuse, alcoholism, criminal behavior, and sexually transmitted disease. Do you have some measurable traits you want included?

Of course the big barrier to this study as with most is financing the budget for the research. There is government funding for such things. Are you interested in starting your PhD or do you have another suggestion? This was your challenge.

<<This "bet " is of course impossible to do but since you have such a big mouth on the subject you set the parameters!>>

The parameters are set. Your 2.8 million (approximate), matched with my comparable group as defined above. Societal ills, as defined above, with any you can qualify to contribute.

This is an easy study. The obvious answers are out there without even doing the study. You, however, want to pretend people calling for standards that support responsibility and righteous living have nothing to base their position on. But you who wants to legislate morals that deny responsibility are saving the Earth. Ok. The ball is back in your court.
