Why are christians so stupid?

[Tht1Gy!]

LOL I know I did. 'Round about third grade.

Trust is unconditional, conditional trust is not trust.

I would trust your nutritional assessment but I would not trust your physics assessment. I conditionally trust you.

How in your opinion, would the assertion "God exists" correspond with reality in a way that would convince you of its truth?

Produce an instance of it or produce an effect of it that is beyond the ability of humans to fake (ex. pray the statue of liberty into solid diamond).

You don't know what my physics assessment would be.

Ah, magic. Again, this is a typical response from atheists.

I think that He would have to do something that only an omnipotent being can do

Crunchy Cat:

Do you think blacks are stupid? Based on IQ tests?

I've never seen an IQ test for black people that separated their cultural biases so I don't know. For example, inner-city black culture in America doesn't value education and produces alot of "stupid" black people, but it's cultural bias thats doing it (a meme).

 

[S.A.M.]

You've seen IQ tests on atheists that separated for religious bias?

 

[Crunchy Cat]

I do know enough about your biases that I wouldn't trust it though; hence, I conditionally trust you.

Ah, magic. Again, this is a typical response from atheists.

That claim of 'God' is pretty magical don't you think? An omnipotent life form that performs magical miracles, creates magical places for people's magical souls to go when they die, etc.

 

[Star6966]

seperating blacks as a group is entirely wrong

black people can fall into all categorys not just "black"

I have no biases in physics. You should read my posts there.

How do you know its magical?

Most IQ tests don't separate the results between different religions... only between 'believers' and 'non-believers'. Heres a sample:

I'm just using the same word you did. We could call it oogityboogity but the result (or absence of) will be the same.

They mostly reign in the region of "I don't understand this".

Yeh, I find it fascinating that for most atheists, God is an old man in a robe and a beard who waves a wand.

Well I'm definately not going to trust someone who doesn't know the subject matter .

For many atheists, 'God' is a human psychological phenomena born of anthropomorphism. Have you ever asked yourself why 'God' seems to have human emotion? What about why would a 'God' have emotion?

Does he? I assume you are referring to a particular God.

My question is: how do YOU know its magic and not something else?

 

[Crunchy Cat]

Does he? I assume you are referring to a particular God.

Any claimed 'God' of a major religion would suffice.

My question is: how do YOU know its magic and not something else?

It doesn't really matter what "it is" as long as the claim can be demonstrated.

So basically, your beliefs are based on accepting the basic premise of someone else's claim as true.

What I accept as true are roughly things that are observable, demonstrable, or come from a competent source.

an example being: in Genesis God brings a flood down on the earth to kill all humanity accept for Noah and his family and a number of animals. It rains for 40 days until "the mountains were covered to a depth of 15 cubits" and then they floated at that level for 150 days.

now if we assume that the climate has stayed the same and that Everest has remained its current height since the beginning of time then Noah would have surely died because of 2 reasons.

1. he would have frozen to death. they would have been in -19 Celsius temperatures for 5 months with nothing but maybe the equivalent in warmth to a burlap sack.

2. The air is about 33% thinner at that height and along with freezing to death they would have been struggling to be able to get a full breath of air.

Between those 2 factors everyone on board the ark should have been dead within 2-4 months and would have never made it to land safely on mount Ararat.

lol, You see that as the major flaw with Noah's story?. what about the fact that 1 man single handed repopulated the earth?.


Inbred anybody?

peace.

Is there any evidence for either's existence.

Erm, mickey mouse is a cartoon character and is proven fact that its a made up person, Lao Tzu left behind the DaoDeJing his existence is suspect. There is a huge difference.

Nice, relevance to their senselessness please, being happy doesn't change a thing.

Some people choose happiness over rational logic, aslong as they don't hrm others I don't give a monkeys.

people in a asylums are happy, Retarded/down syndrome people are happy

And I don't have issues with mentaly handicapped people, I especialy don't want to attack them.

.

I can make that judgment, as it happened so many times before.

Just because it has happened does not mean it will happen in every given future scenario......

If she would not obey her god, could she really call herself a Christian.

Yes because she follows the teachings of Christ,

Le 18:4"You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God".
Acts 5:29 "We must obey God rather than men!
1Jo 5:3 "This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome

She Obeys what she thinks is right, If she does not agree with parts of the bible she will not follow. She always says to me that the devil inspired 50% of the bible and god inspired 50% of the bible. It's up to us as good people to understand what parts are right and what parts are corrupt.

"Very likely given the right incentive.
The religious have learnt nothing over the centuries. but it wasn't atheism, that caused them to be evil, atheism has no dogma, no churches, and above all no beliefs

.

Ok.

If your not atheist now, then you never were.

False, I was raised an Atheist, I am now not an Atheist.

Why not, if given the same incentives they do the same thing else, they are just pseudo religious.

People can take a piece of information, study it and choose to follow the good and reject the bad.

Sorry dont think so, atheists have verifiable evidence, for there statements, The religious are only being bitchy

Not everybody cares for logic and seriousness. Some people just want to live life and be happy without worries.

.Oh wow. do come on now your being childish of course they can, until the delusion takes precedence

In some cases maybe not all.

.Agreed, but those are the pseudo religious

Maybe but they are still religious all the same.

.

As I said before, the history of the religion, give me reason to be careful.

That carefulness has tainted your mind.

Got it.

If that was not sarcastic, then Im glad.

That because throughout history people have killed other people simply because they didn't follow there religion.

Yes and those people are assholes Religious or not. Hittler Was an Atheist right?, Does not mean you will commit mass genocide does it.



Have you really got that much of a problem that you cannot just be happy for people who have faith. It's like your saying anyone who is religious is a plague on mankind and should be irradicated. I Don't follow religion Im not religious atall I follow no scriptures but I believe in god. It's not harming anybody.

Can you accept that it's ok to have faith because it makes you happy?.

peace.
