Richard Dawkins is an atheist.
Therefore, atheists are smart people.
Jessica Simpson is a not smart person.
Jessica Simpson is a theist.
Therefore, theists are not smart.
These arguments are implied by the images, and are clear examples of an association fallacy.
Of course just simply showing atheists who happen to be smart doesn't mean all atheists are smart. I never said that. And if it appears to implying that doesn't mean it does....
If it implies intelligence in your view...how do you go from it suggesting than atheists tend to be smart to ALL atheists are smart?
And atheists tend to be less smart to ALL theists are stupid?
And I don't buy into that....I just look at MENSA study set over several years and think there might be something in it. On AVERAGE.
Lol Meatball. Hitler probably wasn't an atheist. And even IF he was...he didn't do the things he did because of being skeptical about religion and not believing in God.
I reckon its more to do with his Nazism, f**ked up beliefs about controling people (more like a dogmatic political religion than atheism) and basically about dogma...That... and the fact he was deeply evil!
