Is belief in God a choice

[Violet]

There are also Christians who believe that nonsense. My boyfriend's father is the worst conspiracy theorist i've ever seen, and he is also heavily religious. All of us are born different (even clones are born different entities), therefore it is difficult to make accurate sweeping generalizations of people. However, people with similarities naturally flock together... and i have noticed that church (where i live anyway) is a place where a lot of very stupid, ultra-conservative people swarm to. I think religion can be cured... i do not think stupid can be.

If you believe in such things, Rhizomrph13, then you are probably an agnostic, and not an atheist. Could such things exist? They might, i have only heard a few good arguments against them (Neuroscience is, i think, the best one against a soul, although if one interprets it differently than i do: it could be possible), (The eventual sliding of all existence to Black and White extremes is the best philosophy argument i have against reincarnation, but if considered differently than most people consider it [there is a way or two], it is possible).

Theists are not trying to figure out the same things... if atheism did not exist: we would never have made ti out of the dark ages. A theist's life goal is usually to hope to live somewhere nicer... An atheist's life goal is usually to make their life nicer. We realize how precious our life is, because we probably only have one of them. A theist (think muslim?) cares not about this life, because they believe in a hope that they will go on living happily when they die.

We are all people... but not all of those people are scientists... and 93%+ of scientists are agnostic or atheist. I should think there is a strong correlation between that, and theists being less rational. I think there is also a strong correlation between suicide bombing and being less rational. I also think that not listening to rational discourse, and being religious, are heavily linked. I think that there is a strong correlation between religiousness and stupidity... because 70% of my state is stupid [seriously](ultra-conservative, republican, elected sara palin and other horribly stupid officials, etc. i live here) and more than 70% of it is Christian.

A link? Again, i think so I haven't looked up any external scientific evidence to support the link, but simple observation.

A simple question proves that a certain type of entity (Any entity) cannot exist. Few, if any, humans know wether beings more powerful than ourselves exist. Is it likely? Almost certain. Are they all-powerful? No. Gods (the way that religions usually think of them) cannot exist, because they defy the mathematics of the universe.
