If that hurts, perhaps you need to take a look at why it hurts.
It wouldn't hurt me in the least if some idiotic theist claimed that NOT believing in fairy tales and superstitions is stupid. Go figure.
In any case, get over yourself.
It's the choice of words. I don't give a shit if anyone calls me stupid for any reason, because I know I am not stupid.
Quote:http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stupid
a : slow of mind : obtuse b : given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner c : lacking intelligence or reason : brutish
2
: dulled in feeling or sensation : torpid <still stupid from the sedative>
3
: marked by or resulting from unreasoned thinking or acting : senseless <a stupid decision>
4
a : lacking interest or point <a stupid event> b : vexatious, exasperating <the stupid car won't start>
The definitions in bold describe a person who believes in fairy tales and superstitions e.g., god-figures.

No, there really isn't. You have just as much reason and evidence to believe in unicorns, leprechauns, and Crumple-Horned Snorkacks as you do to believe in any given god-figure. I hope I am not the first at this forum to inform you of this. <eyes all the atheists here with feigned suspicion>
[quote] You stating with absolute certainty that there is only one facet to a belief system, perhaps shows just how stupid you are.
You strawmanning me and trying to pretend I said shit I didn't say, e.g., "there is only one facet to a belief system" makes you stupid AND a liar.

And again. Please cite my saying that.
Quote: Every group in this debate is equally as guilty of claiming the intellectual high ground.
But only one of them is not full of shit when they do, and canhandily demonstrate as such.
Quote:You, sir, are as blinded by your sense of self importance as any theist.
You are full of shit and can go pound sand up your ass.
Quote:Get over myself? what is this; the big ol' high horse ranch? You're telling me to get over myself while you smugly call billions of people stupid.
AND superstitious. AND delusional. AND full of shit. AND backward. AND throwbacks to the Dark Ages. AND impediments to the progress of the human race. You're damned right I call you and billions of other superstitious idiots all that and more.

We do however, hate naked assertions people go around claiming with no evidence, especially when it infects politics and education and science.
Just like any sane person would hate it if they had a friend who went around insisting that the sun rotated around the earth.
Oh, yeah -- I forgot "insane" -- add that to the list, too.
