No, he said:
I'm calling people that think that god is the explanation for things like a rainbow or the birth of a baby stupid. I'm calling people that think god created the entire universe in 7 days only 6000 years ago stupid. You twit. Don't be stupid.

(May 7, 2010 at 7:12 pm)AngelThMan Wrote: 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.
Yes, but this isn't representative of the people Paul referred to. A group of people with high IQs have nothing to do with whether people who necessarily attribute God to things such as childbirth and the sun rising and embrace creationism are relatively intelligent.

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.
He said nothing about the validity of Christianity. He was offering an example of people not giving religion much thought.

1. Please demonstrate this consensus.
2. He didn't bring it up. He made specific examples of who he considered to be stupid, nowhere did he say "people who believe in God are stupid"
3. You don't have a point. You never did.

It doesn't matter if they don't list something, you can't MAKE SHIT UP when you have a lack of information. Unless you can show me another set of credible statistics reflecting your numbers, you can't make the claim that the other 20 percent is necessarily theistic.
(May 7, 2010 at 11:47 pm)AngelThMan Wrote: The atheists and none-religious members were covered in the categories which were listed for that. The remaining ones were part of smaller religions which were not listed. That's how these lists usually go. You're just an arrogant kid who loves to argue, and throws temper tantrums when confronted. I'm done talking to you. You're ignorant and nasty to boot. Why don't you take that stupid crocoduck of yours and jump off a cliff?
I love how you call me ignorant, then proceed to fabricate statistics. Good shit.

It makes perfect sense when you're making shit up to fit a conclusion which is largely irrelevant in the conversation.

I'll give you an example:
There are 100 items from a supermarket in a bag, you tell someone to count them and tally them to make an accurate percentage.
However, they don't count them all. You end up with this figure
20% fruit
30% meat
20% vegetables
10% non-food items
Now, since you have a partial tally for non-food items, can you safely say that the other 20% of items are necessarily food items?
Please see the folly in your argument and quit this shit.
