Atheists more Intelligent

My reaction to this stuff is always that it's the products of disillusioned fundamentalists who haven't developed very far from where they started - just do it negatively. Thinking's better.

Of course that's your reaction. You hate them.

Agreed thinking is better, it always is better. You should try it. :)
 
spirituality is about emotions, motivations, behavior, intentions, acceptances.

as worldly organizations, religions are just as prone, if not moreso, to abuse by bad actors within the hierarchy.

I like the teachings of christ. now a church that demands you adhere to certain facts about supernatural , or not, events is missing the point.

a belief system should be judged by its fruits. how do those beliefs cause you to treat others?

atheism and religiosity both have bad records in this regard. regarding christianity, what can you expect of anything hijacked to be an imperial cult for hundreds of years?

we need a nice creed. I got something that's nicene. close enough.

Agree. Religious fundamentalists merely repeat the things they learned as children.

Actually that's a true statement, but it goes with all indoctrination be it being raised a socialist and/or a liberal. Lawyers tend to raise lawyers, businessmen businessmen, doctors doctors, etc. It's a lifetime of repeating things they learned as children. It's not 100% because some losers can't cut the mustard or their parents were assholes about it or, more likely, the child is an asshole who would rebel against anything except being given ice cream or a new car.

Did your parents give you a new car, Jackson?

The lawyers I know were not children of lawyers. But I am sure you've got lots of research support your claim.

Another lie but that's not unexpected since you've been proved an immature liar.

Well, my father was an Angican clergyman, a socialist close to the communist party, my mother an atheist with conservative leanings. Both saw no future in this country of ours and didn't even teach me the language, which I've had to learn for myself, after a fashion. I don't think I'm much inclined to repeat what I learned as a child, except to be entirely sceptical of all authority and contemptuous of human self-importance. When I was thirteen we moved back two hundred years from this bolshie valley to English Shropshire, which certainly taught me what to think of English tories - so all in all I can't see that I bear out your statement very well!

That's because your country sucks ass. Why do you think so many left if for the Americas? Heck, even our resident cock-gobbling monarchist left it for Thailand to become a cumstain cleaner.

Not a lot left here, many for Chubut where they could run things in our language back then. You talking about England? I don't live there.
