So if I've understood correctly (a rare thing), it looks like my reply was also "non-ratable", so I also contributed nothing but hot air.

Apologies.
@DLJ, No problemo mi muchacho. This entire exercise was meant to unify forum members as well as to oust deviants (you know who you are). Just kidding (though he'll like that); the actual point was no more than to engage others in a psychological experiment. You contributed much more that (you know who). Thank You!

Ah- thanks for the clarification. A truly interesting exercise.
Quote: The fruit I share with the rest of you is that the study indicates that (A)our beliefs do not dictate our differences, but rather,(B) our differences dictate beliefs.

You have clearly provided evidence for A. Have you provided evidence for B? I'm not sure.

In any case, it's a result I am glad to see, since I think most atheists know this intuitively and by experience.

Your welcome, and thanks to you for the more than adequately substantiated explanation for your question in the first place.

2: I was just trying to witness to the man and when I told him he was going to burn in hell for not accepting Jesus as his saviour he told me to "Get bent." so his money is an award from god.

3: That dirty heathen should have known better than to cut me off, didn't she see my Jesus fish?

4: Life happens, I've cut people off before while late to work so hey maybe he was in a hurry. Let him have a pass.

1-Without god there is no right. Illogical. Do whatever maximizes your pleasure or treasure. No unseen charitable acts.
2- Christian way more likely to return money or give to charity.
3- we are imperfect sinners. Some more prone to anger than others.
4- why are these questions all one sided for atheitards? Biased much?

If you are willing to read (and more importantly, able to comprehend) the scientific study that this thread presents, you'd realize how uninformed and inaccurate your observation is. Good day.
