Quote:Because it [faith] has proven itself to be beneficial to me throughout lifeI would like to know how.
Quote:in fact, it has worked.Can you prove this?
Quote:Not only that, but lacking faith has proved to me in the past to be detrimental to me as a person.And yet I've never had any faith and yet my life runs rather well. I've done so many things over such a short period of time and it seems my life runs well if I put time and effort into my life, instead of asking some imaginary friend to do it all for me. So lacking faith effects you negatively but not me? Maybe faith has nothing to do with it.
When I don't come on here, I really do forget that there are theists in the world. I forget that religion exists. It's because where I am you just never see or hear of it. I could spend months doing whatever and not once notice something religious. One of the really good things about living in England.
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.
