You said of Kate's post: You injected causality when you framed the "bad" kids as predominantly non-religious. I don't believe that she did. IMO she simply made an observation based on her own personal experience. Hardly something to cause you to become speechless if you wanted to disagree. Before this goes any farther, I'm not about to get into a fight with you. I'm bowing out at this point. Kate can continue a silly pedantic fight with you if she wants to. Last word is yours.

I meant what I said which was only that in my experience the serious troublemakers at school tended to not be coming from church going families. You can infer what you want, I guess, but there's no statement of causality in there. What if I said in my experience the serious troublemakers at school tended to be poor readers. Would you then make the leap to conclude that I'm saying poor reading skills causes kids to misbehave in school? Like Bridge Player said, I made a statement of correlation, not causation.
