I just suspect you are wrong about what causes disruptive behavior

I didn't say lack of religious training CAUSES disruptive behavior. If you can show me that I did, then I'll retract the supposition because it would, indeed, be a silly supposition.

Perhaps you should re-read my post. I identified specific behaviors and said that it had been my observation that these behaviors tended to not be coming out of church-going families. In terms of logical black holes, it seems to me that all you can say to me is you disagree. If you infer from this statement that I believe lack of religious training causes bad behavior, and then you come back at me with articles, statistics, or whatever, aren't you then creating a strawman?

If I say X and then you say I actually said Y and then you try to disprove X by refuting Y, this is basically the classic definition of a straw man.
