Evidence God Exists

[AngelThMan]

I'm not sure what your point is. No one ever said that being smart automatically makes one an atheist.

But you said that people who believe in God are stupid.

Besides, a poll of that sort cannot be considered accurate...

If the results turned out in your favor, then you would consider it accurate. Now you're just dismissing my evidence with no evidence of your own.

...having a high IQ does not mean that someone has actively questioned the claims that there is a god, which is normally how one becomes an atheist in the first place.

Right. Because to you people only question faith when they think negatively upon it. If someone thinks hard about God, as did I, and the results are a positive embracing of the Lord, then he hasn't really questioned faith. This is a biased standard. Plenty of people question God, and as a result they turm towards him, including highly intelligent people.

...I contend that a large percentage of people that would claim the label 'Christian' never really gave the concept of god any thought at all and really don't know if they believe or not when it comes right down to it...

...when asked what my religion was, I answered 'Catholic', even though I did not actually believe in god...

...My wife is a good example. When she and I first met, I asked her if she believed and she said, "I guess so. I don't go to church, but... I never really thought about it." Now that she has had the time and inclination to give it some serious thought... she is an atheist...

That's your evidence? You and your wife? Since when did the two of you become a complete and reliable poll to gauge the validity of Christianity? What you're offering here is an opinion based on the experiences and beliefs of one married couple. Couples often come to think as one in these matters, anyway.

And, to reiterate, being intelligent does not make one an atheist. We all know that. So... you have no point.

It is a general consensus among atheists that believers are stupid. It was you who brought it up, remember? So I do have a point.
