So you believe that people are becoming dumber?

Does it concern you that people are becoming increasingly smarter and also increasingly atheistic?

Sick burn! Impossible to recover from imo.

I think "statistics skepticism" will take away his concern.

Are you actually trying to say that theists are, on average, more intelligent than Atheists? Do you think if we took a randomised sample of 5000 Christian scientists and a randomised sample of 5000 atheistic scientists that the Christians would come out on top?

Imagine we swapped the Christian scientists for Christian ministers, what would the outcome be then.

I understand these tests are in no way perfect but I think they still would make a point.

There's no question that higher levels of intelligence (unless, like Splendour, you measure intelligence by religiosity levels) is correlated with a decrease in religious belief. I would say that this is (perhaps not extremely strong) evidence that theist claims to being more logical are not based on any realistic measurement of logic.

xkcd: Correlation

Naw...that's just Jib's way of announcing he's leaving a particular thread. He says something completely idiotic with no evidence to back his claim, then leaves. Previous examples include statements like, "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist", and, "you ******s, Noah's Ark is so obviously real and all of your arguments have been refuted long ago by various YEC websites...not guna waste my time."

Except when claiming life is 50/50

well thank god for that

Why stop at statistics? I'm utterly shocked more people didn't pounce on this comment.

Because it's a lost cause.

I learned that one the hard way.

Its only a lost cause if you are concerned about getting to a satisfying ending. The joy of conversing with Splendour is the journey, filled with non-sequitors, circular reasoning, self-contradictions, emotional tirades, etc. Its not about the end destination, its about the journey!

what an obviously accurate and informative study

omg u totally got me dude i just made it in photoshop i thought u wood think its real

I agree that this is true. Unfortunatley. There are numerous amounts of Muslims moving here. There are countless amount of Catholics who are moving here from Mexico if they can get past the border patrol. There are untold amounts of Christians who worship false gods other than then true God. On and on and on. This will be the main downfall of our country unless it is corrected.

Obama does not help this country at all in that he is a sympathizer to the muslims, which is his background. He is not really a black man he is a muslim in my opinion disguised as a black man. Which is an ingenious disguise because so many people especially the blacks in this country will fall for it. Mainly because they are still emotional over all the crap they had to put up with in the past from white racist.

If people only knew and believed what is going on here in the US from a spiritual biblical standpoint they might change their ways, but I doubt it.

Even if he were a Muslim, what difference would it make? Why is sympathizing with Muslims any worse than sympathizing with Christians or Jews?

Which is worse? The Catholics or the Christians who worship false gods?

Both, But I will lay the blame more on the Christians between the two.

The catholics don't know any better because they believe the pope above and beyond the word of God.

The Christians have the word of God and can read it but choose to not go by nor believe what it says. Much like the the Israelites of the old testament which was to their demise.

I am also sure you have some kind of angle to your question which I know I didn't oblige. Because I am not one of the false god worshipping Christians that defends all other Christians with some watered down words of hypocritical psuedo fake love.

I like chess also.

Pletho

you would have had me if it werent for the 10 or so countries populated by functional ******s

You seem like you know what you're talking about.

Jib, remember when you mentioned in another thread that you thought that Pletho was really The_Outlaw and I disagreed? I take it back. They're definitely the same person. I don't know how I missed it.

Btw...it warms my heart to see so many of our Christian posters outing themselves as racists lately. I'm sure Jesus would be proud!

Who or what is that? I admit that my views are somewhat outlawed but I am not whomever you think I may be. If you need proof please feel free to investigate me as much as you would like. But if this outlaw had the same views as I do then I applaud them.

Again please inform me about this "The_Outlaw"?
