No such a thing as "self- explanatory" No such a thing as "common sense" so yes, please explain and make explicit with footnotes and references. Maybe I (we) are stupid- but I need something more than your once again "feel a need".
Not being sarcastic- please explain -
gay people don't like their relationships being referred to as "homosexuality". It's an old-fashioned, clinical term, belongs in the 19th century, best leave it there.
First time I ever heard that complaint, but then again, I don't get out much.
Not all theists are stupid and not all atheists are smart sure.
But research does show that atheists on overall are smarter, perhaps because they are curious and want to know both sides of an argument before coming to a conclusion.
A fellow atheist posted this movie .
So yes, sometimes it's hard not to view theists as dumb.
And this link is a case in point, a christian wanting to ban Fahrenheit 451 because it has the burning of a bible in it, even though the overall theme of the book is that banning and burning books is very damaging to a society, it's the irony of ironies.
I guess when it comes to religion some religious smart people have a blind spot, probably because of upbringing.
Is'nt it funny that atheists are more knowledgable about the bible then the average believer ?
Imo being a believer stops people from exploring different viewpoints, and thats why they will get left behind while the rest of us move on.
"Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions. – Frater Ravus"
"The inspiration of the bible depends on the ignorance of the person who reads it. – Robert G. Ingersoll"
It is perhaps useful to keep in mind always that intelligence, erudition and gullibility belong to three different categories.
