I would like, if I may, interpret proverbs 26 quoted above:
Pro24.4-do not answer a fool in the manner in which he is thinking or...
Pro24.5-correct a fool in his thinking or...
It appears to be contradictory when, in fact, it is not.
One has to approach the bible with a kind and generous spirit and understand that not everything should be taken literally. Instead of finding fault, one can find powerful moral truths.

The bible contains essential spiritual truths on how you may be saved.

That is how knowledge advances.

That is how knowledge advances. Right on! and I pretty much would like to quote (again, I quote this a lot, because I like it, and its often relevant) Socrates here, so here I go: "There is only one good, knowledge. And one evil, ignorance", and also Socrates said: "I know nothing other than the fact of my ignorance".
Also I'd add by Stephen Fry: "If ignorance of bliss why aren't there more happy people in the world?"
I guess that's kinda the holy((!)) trinity of anti-ignorance quotes lol  , well for me; that I know of. I'm sure there's a lot of other anti-ignorance quotes out there, if anyone can think of any, please inform me

I don't think so. There is no such thing as a god weather you like it or not.
As I already stated before "I worship nothing" also "I want nothing to do with your religion/god."
To hell with god.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

CreamyYoghurt, are you sure you are unsure ( about religious belief )?
You claim " god " gave you eyes!!
 A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
