Atheists more Intelligent

[Matt Dillon]

Meh. I have no interest in that book. And my post may be insulting and politically incorrect, but it's hella funny!

Not really, but it shows how stupid you are.

You need a God to tell you not to murder and steal?

really?.....those are your only two?......

amoral is not immoral.........you posted that your moral standards were only stealing and murder........so, do you believe that deities do not exist?.....

[jacksonsprat22]

really?.....those are your only two?......

Just answer the question.

[jacksonsprat22]

you posted that your moral standards were only stealing and murder........so, do you believe that deities do not exist?.....

First, I said no such thing about having only two moral standards.\

Second, as to deities, I would say not as Christians believe.

why do the fuckwitted atheists still think someone is trying to prove to them that God exists.......no one here actually gives a fuck whether you believe it or not........our job isn't to convince you.......our job is just to tell you what the choices are.......

You have no fucking clue what the choices are. Only what your preacher man tells you and what that book of fairytales written by Bronze Age goat fuckers tells you.

Intelligence does not equal wisdom.

Loaded words.

Life experience, and 5,000 years of recorded human history have taught us to be on guard against wisdom's imposters: dogmatic religious fundamentalism and autocratic totalitarianism on the one hand, and skeptical cynicism and moral relativism offering no firm ground on the other.

I do not believe inflexible bible thumpers or cynical militant atheist trolls are really providing that much wisdom. Just my two cents.

I believe wisdom about the meaning of life might be drawn from teachings and philosophical traditions of all types: religious, philosophical, scientific, artistic, political.

This is about as good as advice gets, to me anyway.

I want to urge you as much as I can, dear friend, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not seek to have answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into an answer.

[Nordberg]

the three major religions that believe the universe was created all agree on who created it.......

Do they agree on who created that person? It just goes on and on. The creator needs a creator and that one does too. Saying god created the world solves nothing. It changes your footing on the same question that has no answer.
The problem is religious people think that actually says something. That is because they want to. Again proving atheists can think more logically.
You guys are trained from childhood to believe. Muslims are. Buddhists are. Jews are. Because as kids, you do not know enough to argue that they are forcing religion into immature brains. It is like planting a virus.

I don't think God wants us to be be stupid.

Loaded with very plain simple facts. Human beings can be intelligent, but not very wise. And, conversely be wise, but not very intelligent.
Faith is not dependent upon worldly head smarts. It's a condition of the heart, belief from your soul and the wisdom given of God.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
