Are atheists more intelligent than believers?

SP more intelligent than Ceeboo or Runtu? don't make me laugh. Go back to the drawing board, SP.

But generally I wouldn't doubt it atheists somehow test higher, and prove to be more educated overall. But man, I've met some pretty wickedly dim atheists....and believers (me).

What this also means is that in time, you atheists will have to start dealing more and more with the "stupid atheist problem." What I mean by that is that as a religious person, I am forced to deal with religious idiots and explain their lunacy, and statistically speaking I probably have to do that more often on average than do atheists. However, given a little time, my guess is that things will even out, and you atheists will be dealing with your own idiots and explaining their lunacy to believers too.

*rolls eyes*

I've have never felt the need to explain away someone else's stupidity merely because they happen to have a single thing in common with me (and I have certainly observed stupidity on the part of atheists).

Religious people like you may feel so compelled because their beliefs are dubious to begin with. It's not like atheism entails an entire belief system (no matter how much some religious people want to think it).

Why not just apologize for your own? They're the ones for which you're actually responsible.

Mods!

Please fix the subject line... It is exasperating.

And there may be people who think this is the proper spelling.

I'm willing to give Sock a pass on this. I have dyslexic fingers, too.

The rule is, after all, i before e, except after c (and all the other words that don't fit the rule... "atheist" among them).

I knew it was just a matter of time!!!!!! :)

Good on you, Buffalo. Good on you!

Oh, I think that gap is fast closing.

A little bit more every time I log in...

Let me finish. I believe in the all-powerful Atheismo. Praise and glory to His name!
