If Atheists Ruled the World

[_The Nehor]

I'm interested in you finding a quote of mine that demonstrates that.

Sure:

LOL... nothing better than a religious dipstick who thinks he's smart. Go pray to your fantasy sky daddy for forgiveness for being so presumptuous and stupid. Might make you feel better.

This may be how the religious people responded, but given that they believe in the great sky daddy, their answers can't really be trusted, can they? I think the non-religious tend to be a lot more realistic, given the paradigm from which they work. I take the word of the 77% non-church goers much more readily than I believe the fantasies of the 85% supernaturalists.

Yes, but you believe in an imaginary invisible sky daddy.

Priceless, Nehor. Perhaps Schmo has selective memory loss.

Very funny. You sound just like the guys on the video in the OP.

Yup. You're so smart, and we're so stupid... and look who gets the votes to become the most powerful person in the world. Hint: it's never an atheist.

Not according to BC. According to him, for some reason all of the theist love to elect atheists.

LOL... that's the best you've got?

Just because I indicate that I think god is a fantasy doesn't necessarily imply I think your stupid for having it. It might to you, but it doesn't to me.

The first quote was in response to a specific instance of stupidity. Try quoting the context.

The second and third quotes question trustworthiness, not intelligence.

Try again.

It's good enough

When you use terms that imply stupidity then yes, it does. I have friends who think my God is a fantasy. They don't refer to him by the terms you use because (unlike dimwits such as yourself) they know that using such terms is insulting and denigrates the intelligence of the person spoken to.

Try again.

Nope, just using a few search terms I came across LOTS of results. I don't feel like trying to cull one that will make you abandon your weaselly and feeble defenses.

It's all he needs, Schmo. You just called him stupid.

Oh, now you're saying it's okay to believe in what you call a fantasy? And you don't think he's stupid for doing that?

Anyone reading that would be able to figure out exactly what you meant... Nehor is stupid for believing in what you call "sky daddy". And you hold him in contempt... the "go pray to your fantasy sky daddy for forgiveness for being so... stupid" just drips with it.

Gosh, Schmo. Please run for public office, so you can show us all exactly how an atheist views conservative Christians.

The first quote was in response to a specific instance of stupidity. Try quoting the context.

The context doesn't' matter, Schmo. The contempt is what comes through loud and clear. You think Nehor is stupid for believing in what you label as "sky daddy".

The second and third quotes question trustworthiness, not intelligence.

Try again.

Every time you say "sky daddy", your post just drips contempt, Schmo. And you're ridiculing Nehor for his beliefs.

[_Some Schmo]

Hey, you just called me stupid! Therefore, you must think all atheists are stupid! How condescending of you! Waaaaaaa...

LOL... priceless, guys. Priceless.

Clearly, people are going to believe what they want to believe, no matter what anyone tells them. If it makes you feel more comfortable or justified in your view of me and atheists to believe this conjecture you just spewed, have at it. It makes me smile, truth be told. I think it's interesting that you need to jump to these conclusions, but hardly surprising.

*shrug*

I accept your confession.

[_Some Schmo]

I accept your confession.

You want a confession? I'll be brutally honest with you and tell you that I sometimes do question the intelligence of a person who believes in god, but not simply because they believe in god. It's because of how they arrived at that conclusion (I always take people on a case by case basis because generalizations are wrong - you're going to find exceptions). It speaks more about the way they think than what they believe. I've said it before, and I'll repeat it here: people are not the sum of what they believe.

I'll also say that it's not stupid to have fantasies (i.e. delusions, or blind spots). I'm sure I have plenty I'm not aware of. It's hard to imagine there's anyone out there who's fantasy free. Does that make everyone stupid?

You can't take a few comments where I mocked god belief and extrapolate from it that I think everyone who believes in god is stupid... well, you can, but you'd be wrong.

First you said:

Mercury, Porter, Antishock, Schmo, and many others have all ridiculed belief in God.

I'm interested in you finding a quote of mine that demonstrates that.

Then, when Nehor easily found not one, but three comments of yours that ridiculed belief in God, you said:

You can't take a few comments where I mocked god belief and extrapolate from it that I think everyone who believes in god is stupid... well, you can, but you'd be wrong.

Now you admit you make comments that mock belief in God, and we're supposed to believe that those 3 times are the only times you've ever done that? That, even though in those comments your tone in those posts drips contempt and you call Nehor "stupid", you're not really like that. You're a different kind of atheist; you only mock people who believe in God when it suits you, when you feel like it. Normally, you're quite respectful of people's belief in God.

Yeah, right.
