I'd say muslims world wide are on average less natively stupid than the christians in this country.
Certainly American Muslims are more reasonable, on average, than American Christian fundamentalists.

Yes, especially in Africa and South America. Especially not in Europe, Asia, and North America. Guess where most of us live?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Quote:More than half in UK are non-religious, suggests survey
Quote:Last year 53% of people described themselves as having "no religion", in a survey of 2,942 adults by the National Centre for Social Research.
Among those aged between 18 and 25, the proportion was higher at 71%.
And since the young are saying "fuck it" and only the old fucks believe in the holy horseshit, things are looking real good in Britain!
Congratulations.
France is even doing better:

France has been doing better since 1789. This may be part of the reason why America has always been uncomfortable, mixing envy, jealousy and a forced and defensive effectation of contempt, with France.

Probably - but the eventual victor will be Islam, not atheism.
What part of "non-religious" did you not get?

Just remember, that moronic, self-important snowflakes have been saying this for at least 2000 years. Hasn't happened so far, isn't going to happen now - not in any way that you may imagine. You will die and the world will carry on without you. You're not special - get over yourself.

Looks to me like they're just pointing out the inanity of your beliefs.

Why are you posting on this forum? As for me, I enjoy the company and fellowship of fellow atheists, whom it is hard to meet in real-life. I am also transgender and post on a transgender forum, because, as with atheists, it is difficult to meet other transgenders in real life. But, again, why are you here?

You are not willing to question your belief. You are here to indulge in the infantile delights of that brain dead smuggness you and your ilk have adopted to armor yourselves against the complexity and uncertainties of reality that strike fear into your feeble heart, as well as the proven cognitive processes to tackle those that you resent for being so far beyond the grasp your feeble mind.

Maybe you're hanging out here because it gives you the feelgoodz to minister to the heathens. Maybe you're doing it because you get a laugh out of irritating folks. Maybe you're doing it because you're honestly questioning.
If it is indeed the latter, go back and reread what I wrote. It's very plain and clear. And if you're not that curious, it isn't my problem.

I'm not saying he uses his omnipotence to force people to worship him upon pain of infinite suffering -- your book says that. I'm asking you to explain how you reconcile what the Bible says with what you write here.
This god you worship is alleged to be omnipotent, but finds a simple "goddamn" to be unforgivable? Cry me a river. I, a simple mortal, can easily get over a little name-calling, yet this deity of yours harbors resentment to the point of damning those to hell? It makes no sense -- perfect in mercy, yet devises hells for people over little words.
