Originally posted by Quiero MotaI am sure there are many atheists like that, but first of all I am not an atheist and second don't judge by those parameters. I find your believes unfounded and likely wrong and might try to convince you of a more agnostic approach and I am against Religious violence, but I would never truly think that a person is just stupid for having a Religious belief, though, in my experience a large amount of Religious people is actually stupid, there's no rule whatsoever for that.
If you haven't noticed, Atheists think they're automatically smarter than religous people because they don't believe in what they consider a fairytale.

It is a gross-generalization, but's its applicable enough that it isn't a far-fetched claim.I'm sure Gandhi is/was smarter than many Atheists.
lol, we could easily do a tally and would clearly find more intelligent people that are religious than not. I wouldn't even claim that atheists are per capita more intelligent.
I'd say the generalization that religious people suffer from delusional beliefs is just as far-fetched as the atheists are arrogant generalization. I'd actually say they are both somewhat true 🙂
Originally posted by Quiero MotaNot really, many of the talks that I've had about religion, some think that our belief in no god is just as dumb as some believe in a god is dumb. Many of the atheist that I know do not hold the idea that they are "smarter" because they don't believe, just not misguided which is a big difference.
Not really. A lot of religous people may think they have existance figured out and that they're morally superior, but they don't believe that Athiests are mentally deficient because they don't believe in God.
But this is off the topic

No.Christmas has transcended its original religious roots and become something more. It is also a celebration of loved ones, a time to spend with them and enjoy their company, which is why I celebrate it.

Didn't we just have this argument? Though I seem to you remember dropping off at some point, leaving my last couple posts unanswered.
So since logic didn't work last time, I'll just state the obvious...this time with no intention of helping you change your mind, just letting you know what I think.
You're nothing but a religious bigot for spreading such generalized bullsh*t, and preaching it like it's God's truth.

You didn't ask any questions in your last posts. And I never said that all Atheists thought that.
Who do you think I am bigoted against?

Atheists. Quite clearly. You always preface your statements with something like "well not all of them..." then continue to spout the same unsupported tripe that labels them as elitist assh*les who consider all theists inferior.
It was, and still is, insulting to large groups of people that you quite clearly know nothing about.

I don't dislike Athiests. One of my sons is an Atheist, big deal. It's his life and that's his belief. My only complaint against them is that they arbitrarily make up their own morals.
See, now you're assuming that I know nothing about them, despite having known many in my life and reading many pro-Atheism books and articles.

Well, you base your morals on someone that lived 2000 years ago and based his teaching on something even 2000 years older, condemning murder in some passages. Not sure what's your problem with choosing them on individual basis or rational thought.

I didn't say you disliked them. We've had this conversation before, and you again mentioned your son.
But your comments are, in fact, bigoted against atheists whether you want to admit it or not. And you have yet to offer anything in support of such widespread generalizations other than 1-2 people you know or saw on the internet, and the intuitive "well doesn't it seem like a lot of them are like that...?" style of arguments.
If I have a friend who is black, then talk about some racial stereotype of blacks like it's unwavering truth about the general populace of balck people, I'm racist. And I think I used this same example (and these same arguments) last time we talked. So you either aren't reading, aren't remembering, or can't comprehend your own bias.

Again a generalization. It's not a bttle to be "won", nor do I think anyone is stupid because of religious beliefs. If people are stupid, it's because they're stupid...not because of a particular denomination they belong to.
Originally posted by Rogue JediBecause they are all wrong. Just that you wrongly generalized three groups of people now. One thing all those can agree on though is that you are stupid. A giant victory for mankind.

Do you honestly believe that Atheists who look down on religous people for being mentally lacking are a minority among Atheists? Be real.
