RE: Perspective and Belief

My perception affects my opinion of things. Such as the natural world and how it works. Never perceived exterior forces like beings affecting anything, or even existing for that matter. So saw no reason to hold such beliefs in beings.

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.
