Religious people are less intelligent than atheists, study finds

Its nice that you both know how to read, next lesson is putting verses into context.

Tell me a context in which murdering the occupants of an entire city and stealing its children as sexual conquests is in any way justifiable.

If scientists knew it all they wouldn't need to do science. the religious feel they "know it all" that's why they will never change their minds about anything.

I'll tell you in what context when you tell me what gives you the right to judge God?

No suprise here, irrational superstition is something for the dumb and naive.

Why are we not allowed to judge God in the first place?

In all seriousness.

Religious people don't want to learn why things happen, if it benefits them they just thank their magical invisible grandpa in the sky and when things don't work out blame some dweeb in the red jump suit who lives in the center of the Earth with all of the lava.

I always think that type of purposefully dumbed down mockery doesnt help a person look very smart at all. Its a display of ignorance imo.

This is one of the most pretentious things I've ever read. I know more about your religion than you will ever do and this is in spite of having an active social life in which I go to clubs (not any more really because I have kids which takes up most of my time) and malls and sporting events and tourist attractions. Your transparent attempt at proving your superiority to people who devote time to things you consider petty and frivolous has failed to convince me of its worthiness.

I dont think he meant it in an arrogant way. I didnt read it like that. He seems alrite from his other posts.
Think he was just saying he personally finds it fascinating.

It could be said we can judge God because we invented him. And that you and Piggy are critiquing literature.
And anyway, if God preaches "Judge not lest ye be judged", and he judges us...then surely we can judge him?

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, ****phobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."

27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
