Answer 1

I reject your scorn....even though I don't believe in religion. I also don't believe in stupid statements like yours.

Answer 2

God I'm getting so bored of u're stupid and ignorant questions. I bet if u had any friends they would be begging u to leave them alone, cos all u do is moan and winge and constantly insult christians. Maybe u should find something more worthwhile to do with u're time or is this the only thing possible u can think of to say with that tiny braincell that is kicking around u're head.
U're ideas and ignorance of other people's right to a belief borders along the same line as Hitler and Sadamn Hussein. U are seriously sick in the head and yes u may sit there laughing at what I have written thinking this is just some kind of big joke, but maybe u ought to just stop and think about what sort of questions u have been asking and how full of ignorant prejudice u sound.
This is coming from someone who is not a practising christian so u can get that idea out of u're head right now.

Answer 3

I understand where you are coming from and have often thought the same thing. Carl sagan, a brilliant American scientist spent his life looking for a correlation between the two standpoints. In his book and film the point is raised that 95% of the worlds population believe in a supreme being so does that mean that 95% of the worlds population are suffering from a mass delusion and you and me are not. Below is a statement from Carl Rogers, the father of modern day counselling/therapy and it fits with my belief system.



we are wiser than our intellects . . . that our organisms as a whole have a wisdom and purposiveness which goes well beyond our conscious thought . . . I think men and women, individually and collectively are inwardly and organismically rejecting the view of one single culture-approved reality. I believe they are moving inevitably toward the acceptance of millions of separate, challenging exciting informative individual perceptions of reality. I regard it as possible that this view-- like the sudden and separate discovery of the principles of quantum mechanics by scientists in different countries-- may begin to come into effective existence in many parts of the world at once. If so, we would be living in a totally new universe, different from any in history. Is it conceivable that such a change can come about?


I think he means that we need to take responsibility for ourselves and believe in our inner potentials of growth. He belived that people are born good and have the inner resource to achieve and create a productive society. Very radical for the 1950's. Ive studies his theories and although im not naive the simple brilliance of his work is stunning in its truthfulness.

Answer 4

Ah yes as it was once proven that African Americans where dumb people and only as good or less then there farm animals ,but they where wrong then as well weren't they? Maybe you should use the intelligence of tolerance and not make such dumb comments as you look to be a more intelligent person. Have a nice day

Answer 5

How exactly do you expect to be taken seriously when you make sweeping statements like that. Judging by the tirade of insults masquerading as genuine questions that you've been spewing out I'd say you've got some serious unresolved issues. If you can't put your comments in less dogmatic form, then they're not worth addressing.

Answer 6

Good Morning Julia:

What is a religious person?

re‧li‧gious

–adjective 1. of, pertaining to, or concerned with religion:
2. imbued with or exhibiting religion; pious; devout; godly:
3. scrupulously faithful; conscientious: religious care.
4. appropriate to religion or to sacred rites or observances

A religious person is one who studies the teachings of a religion; a person with faith in a belief structure.

What is dumb?

dumb – adjective
1. lacking intelligence or good judgment; stupid; dull-witted.
2. lacking the power of speech
3. temporarily unable to speak
4. refraining from any or much speech; silent.
5. made, done, etc., without speech.
6. lacking some usual property, characteristic, etc.

Now that we know what both adjectives mean, let us examine the verb "improve" so I can attempt to answer your inquiry.

Improve - –verb (used without object)
1. to increase in value, excellence, etc.; become better:
2. to make improvements, as by revision, addition, or change:

To study or practice a religion should not be done without intelligence or good judgment. I think it takes a reasonable amount of intelligence to read, understand and interpret the meaning of any religion to teaching of religion. One does not need the ability to read but the ability to hear and understand what has been written.

I believe each person has the ability, capability and desire to more fully understand their teachings to to increase in value of the self and become a better person; thus, making improvements to the self by changing the actions of the self to more conform to the beliefs of the religion held by the self.

To not understand and change to meet the requirements of the teachings of a religion is simply a lack of trying to improve. It does not make a person dumb.

A person is not dumb if he/she tries to study and comprehend a teaching of religion. It does not make a person dumb if he/she cannot understand the teaching of a religion.

I cannot speak for all Christians as I do not know all Christians. I can speak for myself. Constantly I seek God and His Word. I seek a better understanding of what His Word means and how I can apply it to this age I live in. I also must constantly change to understand those around me, their needs and what I can do to help them with the Word of God and my understanding of it.

To improve oneself is to grow. Try it, Julia. It's not that hard. Ask for help and I am sure many would respond to the call. I'm here, I don't ask for anything in return except an open ear and an open mind to the possibility. I may not always be right but I try to always listen and hear what is being said.

God Loves Julia, Jesus Loves Julia, I Love Julia.
Does Julia Love Julia?

Answer 7

I agree with the sentiment, as I too think that religion is for crazy folk. But do us a favour, try to put a little more thought into your statements. A spell and grammar check wouldn't go amiss either.

Answer 8

Wow. Way to confirm the stereotype that critics of religion are arrogant and mean.

And if you're going to criticize people for being dumb, try to write more coherently (You have a sentence fragment and other poor grammar). You know, maybe work to improve yourself.

Answer 9

Before you start bad mouthing ALL religions, why don't you acutally go to a church and look at it from another perspective? You telling us to deny our religion is just gonna make us more fired up about it anyway. And, as it's proven only the foolish say there is no God.

Answer 10

That is why I am not religious, but am a Christian. There is good science to back up this thought and it is ignored by the evolutionists.

Answer 11

A lot of religious people are college graduates; some have doctorate degrees. That is plenty of education for me.
