However, we don't tell people to die when they don't agree with the theories we hold dear.

YOU talkin' to me?

Christianity is a cowardly religion that was founded by outsiders./ They had no claim to the god of Abraham, so they had to find a loophole. They ignore the racist calls for genocide because it demands their death. They invented hell to convince themselves that the Romans would pay.

Kinda like how the Jews abandoned their attempts top conquer the ME for a while after they ended up on the wrong end og things. They've started up again as of late, though

 

[AllieBaba]

Ah, finally it makes sense. You're one of the wild-eyed fanatics.

It all makes sense now.

 

[JBeukema]

Yet another deflection and pathetic attempt at an ad hom by an idiot who cannot address the reality that JB has presented

Most Americans believe that angels and demons are active in the world, and nearly 80 percent think miracles occur, according to a poll released yesterday that takes an in-depth look at Americans' religious beliefs

The study detailed Americans' deep and broad religiosity, finding that 92 percent believe in God or a universal spirit -- including one in five of those who call themselves atheists.

So 92% of the population of the U.S. are stupid.

I'll need you to post a link to support that...thanks in advance.

Nice try, but I'm not arguing that because a majority of people believe in God that it proves there is a God.

I am challenging your assertion that everyone who believes in God is stupid.

Good attempt at defection though.



Your stated hypothesis is 92% of the population is stupid and deserves to die.

It's your argument...make the best of it.

 

[Agnapostate]

Actually, there's a significant distinction between being "stupid" and being less intelligent than the secular population on average.

Sorry Agna, that's not JB's position.

It's not surprising that you are unable to grasp such a simple concept, however; it's been demonstrated repeatedly that theists have low IQs as a rule and are generally stupid and uneducated.

This is why we need your kind to die; you drag down the IQ of the human race and hold all of humanity back. You're like a fucking disease

 

[Agnapostate]

That seems to be some of his standard bloated hyperbole. But the conclusion that can be drawn from the study into the intelligence differences between theists and atheists is that theists are on average less intelligent.

If I may take the liberty of translating "standard bloated hyperbole" to my less intelligent vernacular of "completely full of crap" on this IQ tirade, then you and I are in complete agreement.

as a rule... generally

as I said

most atheists, begin their lives as theists...at least all the ones that I have known....

I don't know where that fits in to the picture though...

None is born a theist; it is a learned belief. Everyone is born an atheist.

 

[Agnapostate]

Everyone is born a weak atheist, to clarify, in the sense of the literal meaning of the word "atheism" being "without theism," because no capacity to understand the nature of theism exists at birth. Strong atheism is the best-known form and involves elements of anti-theism.

 

[JBeukema]

Everyone is born an agnostic atheist, yes. I thought would be obvious fro the context

The sources you cited demonstrate a 5-point IQ difference between atheists and traditional Christians...an insignificant difference, at best.

Enough with this tired line of argument based upon insignificant data...

Neither is anyone born a God-hater; which, is not atheist. It's a learned belief.
