It always cracks me up when atheists claim to be intellectually superior, because they don't believe in God, when in reality they are simply showing the whole world their own lack of scientific rigor.


Your view on this is not compatible with a scientific perspective. Science only studies what exists. There are endless imaginary things that might be conjured, but they are not within the realm of science unless testable in some way.

>Oh and btw, smart guy, any true scientist will tell you that atheists are the dumbest of the lot. You know why? Because if you really had a scientific mind, you'd realize that at best, you should proclaim yourself to be an agnostic, because you can claim you have no proof that God exists, but you cannot claim you can prove conclusively that God does not exist.

Where is there any evidence that he does?

I don't believe that the bogeyman exists, because there's no evidence that he does. That makes me not a true scientific thinker. Oops!

I know God exists and yet, I will always be the first to vote against a theocracy. You are going to extremes. No one is talking about converting the U.S. into a theocracy.

When you start integrating religion with gov't, then you are talking about a theocracy.

We are talking about stopping you and the atheists from limiting our freedoms of religious expression, which is one of the things that have made this country great.

No one is stopping you from practicing your freedom to express your religion. You can go to church every day of the week if you want. Be grateful that you live in the US.

Oh and btw, smart guy, any true scientist will tell you that atheists are the dumbest of the lot. You know why?

What does that have to do with anything?

It always cracks me up when atheists claim to be intellectually superior, because they don't believe in God, when in reality they are simply showing the whole world their own lack of scientific rigor.

I never said I don't believe in God........I just don't know if he exists.........nor do you.

Only dumb people would ever out of internal conviction claim that God does not exist.

You may be a bitter man a cynic or anything and make that statement but anybody who truly claims so out of "knowledge" is a dumb-ass.
One of those guys who like typical school teachers believe they know everything because they may have just learned a little bit more than the average citizen.
As soon as one moves on and learns more than that one rapidly comes to understand that one for sure knows very little.
You become and humble man.
