***I just read this article and I'm concerned **** "The Effect of Intelligence on Religious Faith." It says that there is a trend, the more religious you are, the less education you have.
I'm a Christian so I'm not worried that Christianity is unintelligent, but why aren't Christians generally motivated to go to college and grad school?

Aren't such called "more the child of hell" in Matthew 23?
Didn't the Big ones notably sit in Moses' Seat: Law?
Isn't it merciless instead of merciful in Heb 10:28?
What about where Jesus is "standing" in Acts 7:55?
If such a place is merciful, why'd Stephen get killed?
Why does it mention such in Psalms 109:6?

so apparently one defining characteristic of god is that he is omnipresent. that means he is everywhere. however there is a law of physics which states that two masses cannot occupy the same space at the same time. so how can god be everywhere if i'm standing where i'm standing, where i'm standing is part of everywhere, and i'm not god? in order for god to be everywhere, one would have to reason that everything is god, in which case i'm not me, i'm god.

.... to prevent the liberal spread of equal rights to:

Native Americans?
African Americans?
Women Americans?
Japanese Americans?

and now Homosexual Americans?

What else could they have done to preserve the institution of slavery in this country? Are they going soft?

Posed as an answer, this now comes as a question. Why is it that over the course of time humans have improved upon, or have rejected and modified, the ancient methods of goat herding yet are still clinging to the religious stories told by those same ancient goat herders? Why it is possible to move forward with animal husbandry, yet continue to remain fawning over some backward mythical deity? We rejected the much earlier goat herder's belief in Zeus and Hera so why haven't we continued to move forward?

You expect me to spend money on a dead tree, NOT get creeped out by an old guy in a red suit that follows me everywhere and eat candy out of my sock?

Just to be sure. Since this was delted earlier.

(Sorry if it's not as funny the second time. :-D )

Can we know the way?" 6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

I just picture 2 kids arguing over where babies come from:

"it's the stork, it brings the baby to the new mommy and daddy... my mommy told me so..."

"nut uh, Babies come from a cabbage patch, I have proof... I seen them on TV..."


Both strike me as "nice stories" to explain something which an inillectually inferior being (such as a child) that would appease their mind enough to stop worrying about it.


Does anyone else picture this when they hear creationist arguments? or just me?

But blocks atheists from answering? You know who you are. I don't need to say your name.

You were just bragging the other day about how educated you are.

Why are you afraid of us?

I haven't insulted you. Are my arguments too much for your faith?

I am an atheist and have known it for a while.
I am not sure how my family will take it.
Everyone in my family is religious including my parents.
My mother is southern baptist and my father is Catholic.
I try not to blurt it out very often because people believe atheists are bad people.
I would like to call myself a decent person.
I am open minded
I help others
I voulnteer when voulnteers are needed.
My grandmother I think would die if I told her I was atheist.
I would probably be disowned from my entire family, everyone I know and love and not just that but the majority of my friends are catholic or mormon.
I don't know if I should tell them or if I should keep it a secret.
What do you think I should do?
Is there an easier way of telling them...
I don't know.
Any help would be appreciated.
