In UK atheists considred more moral than theists.
RE: In UK atheists considred more moral than theists.
............................... Rolleyes  -therefore jesus.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So now you're resorting to semantics rather than the logic behind the argument. Typical.

It's easy enough to state a falsehood rather than accept the truth.  "Oh, there are more colors in existence than we can perceive".

Yes, that is how charlatans make money.  Try something more logical, bitch.

That was logical.

We see color based on the red, green and blue cones in our eyes, anything that isn't a variation of those colors, we are blind to.

If everyone was blind to the color red, how do you prove it's existence?

Not semantics, unicorn literally mean 'one horn'.

Use a device, such as a camera that can also measure red. Same as with any other colour.

This is reproducible and the steps can be unambiguously described in detail.

There is no such device that can detect a god, or a soul, or a spirit or any type of supernatural force.

How would YOU determine it's the color red without having the ability to see it for your self?

You were creating a hypothetical example where no one could see the colour red, so it's whatever people collectively decide to call that band of frequencies.

In the same way that no one can see infra-red or ultra-violate can still measure that these radio waves exist using equipment.

How can you tell that radio waves and infrared light exist if you cannot see them?

For example, Ultra-violet burns our skin.

I can buy a camera filter for example that blocks out all frequencies except for infra-red and take pictures on a very bright day for example.

You end up with pictures like this (not mine but I have done some which are similar in the past)




There are plenty of ways of measuring and more importantly reliably using these frequencies without being able to personally experience them.

Measure its wave length directly by sending it through an transparent substance of known index of refraction?

Use a red pass or red cut filter and measure the change in the intensity of light after it passes through?  

If you even paid a millionth as much attention to your high school physics as you’ve wasted on your bible, you wouldn’t have asked questions that so ambarassingly betrayed such a disgraceful lack of interest in the probing of reality.

You see, the difference between Christian morons who think the wish-thinking primitivism that led to Christianity back in the Iron Age is end all and be all of human wisdom on the one hand, and intelligent people who benefited from the accummulated wisdom of 2000 years of science since the start of your disgraceful cult on the other, is a realization that reality exist outside of the immediate, uneducated desire and perception, and is accessible though careful consideration and experimentation based on repeatable measurement?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrachromacy

Quote:Tetrachromacy is the condition of possessing four independent channels for conveying color information, or possessing four types of cone cells in the eye. Organisms with tetrachromacy are called tetrachromats.

In tetrachromatic organisms, the sensory color space is four-dimensional, meaning that to match the sensory effect of arbitrarily chosen spectra of light within their visible spectrum requires mixtures of at least four primary colors.

Would you be so kind as to explain any fourth primary color?
