Quote:I think a lot of us on here just want to live nice, quiet lives and don't desire trying to deconvert people. However some theists don't allow us to do that. Because of this whole mindset of a cosmic battle between good and evil and that souls need to be saved, so they try and convert us to their particular brand of theism.Indeed. The problem is that theists act as if their beliefs were a matter of fact. They really believe there are such things as souls, afterlife and super beings. But it's just a personal belief, it has no connection to the real world. It's just a fantasy. But they insist on acting on it. And for us, that's a problem because we wan't nothing to do with it.

If there is a god who really is extremely wise and all knowing, I'm pretty sure he/she wouldn't be half as stupid as the Christian god. Don't think a super wise being would torture people for eternity for simply lacking a belief. It's something you'd expect from stone age or dark age religious wackos. Not from a super intelligent being.
Whether we're right or wrong, I think we're quite safe.
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.
