Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Well done for destroying the critical thinking abilities of all of those children.
One of my youth took quantum mechanics to fill so time, he obtained his PHD 2 years quicker than required, is now an outstanding nuclear engineer for the Y12 plant in Oakridge and travels the world helping others in this field. I asked him to study well, didn't want him blowing up the world you know. Four of my youth were valedictorians.
i just hope that he does not longer believe in that shit you thought him.

They and I do not believe evolution, and a far as a the youth you referred to he is top notch and makes more money in 10 years than you will in your life.
money is just a piece of paper,that humans gave it purpose. Why would someone like to collect worthless paper?
I think that human kind is looking in 3-world war,when that time comes i just hope that i,my friends,and people on this forum are already dead,because in that hard times people will learn what kind of damage money did to us.
The sad thing is that we cant live without it,but i hope that in the future man kind-woman kind will figure out a different system that is based on real equality and democracy. A place that wount spend its resources on militaristic war machines,a place where people would learn to be generous,kind,and efficient,a place where we would live in harmony with our mother earth.
If we wount come to such knowledge,human species will get extinct,but this is a good think if we die out,we will let other species to evolve into a different organisms

That's a typical answer from one who does not have what he believes he deserves.

How do I know what? Christians do measure success by what they earn, why should that be a surprise. We know that success in our Christian life is more important, success can be measured in different ways in one person's life, don't you think so.

That's a very [irony]Christian[/irony] way of looking at success... as a non-capitalist, I don't give a flying doo-dah how much someone earns. It certainly doesn't enter my criteria for whether or not they are a good human being with well-resolved thinking skills.
Typical answer for one who has no worthy out look for his self.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
Money happens to be among the most evil and corruptive force ever made. It's a corruptible thing that gives the barer power and can change a good man to a very evil and selfish one.
It's an item that causes desire to have, to encourage many to seek even through crime.
It's not something to be looked at kindly.

Here in Portugal, the most common religion is Catholic.
However, there are a few small pockets of evangelicals and the like.
I've heard stories of people who quit their day jobs to become evangelical preachers.... they earned about 5 or 6 times more that way!
And then I learned that most americans are evangelicals.... Just imagine how much those preachers earn... and think: the more people come to their preachings, the more they earn, so.... they build huge "places of worship" so they can host thousands at a time, every single idiot american contributing to the preacher's wealth. tax free!

You're showing your ignorance, most churches in the U.S. average less than a couple hundred people. My pastor was a nuclear engineer for TVA making an extremely good living. God called him to be a pastor and now makes far less than half of what he would be making, many pastors do not even get payed, what ever comes to them by way of donation is all they receive and work other jobs to support their families, and yes they do have to pay taxes on what the church pays them, so it seems the idiot is in the mirror, if you do not believe me go look.

Money is an inanimate object, it has no way of being evil, it's the people who worship it that are evil, period. How is it that an inanimate object can be a corruptible force, please explain. We can only blame ourselves for allowing our fellow man for using money against us, this makes the men on both sides of the money corrupt.

This from someone who doesn't "believe" in evolution?
And worships this?
A reply from the defeated, can't you be a reasonable person, guess not with mindless responses such as that.

Money gives power, gives a person status over others, and so it corrupts. It's based on the - The more you got the more you get, principle. No fairness, it's a limiting thing.
If you don't have it, you get nothing. Large corporations when told that they were affecting the earth through global warming refuse to act because it'll effect their profits, = CORRUPTION! Many rich nations act just the same.
It's evil because it's selfish and it corrupts.
Countries, businesses, the rich always seem to think of small bits of paper with some face on it before thinking about others, the environment and even life itself. Lots of people end up looking down on others when they have lots of paper in their wallets or bank account.
You are a money loving, blind and corrupt man in my opinion. A disgrace.
