Are devoutly religious people completely stupid or just superstitious?

Answer 1

The vast majority of religious people belong to the religion of a parent, yet they are convinced that their religion is the most valid. Thus we can conclude that religious people aren’t concerned with common sense or are they able to analyze the obvious absurdities of their particular religion. After all, they’re taught that it’s sacrilegious to doubt “God’s word”, the bible, torah, koran, etc.! It’s as if religious people are surrounded by an invisible bubble that blocks in superstition and ignorance, and blocks out common sense, reality and facts.
Any thinking person should be able to figure out that many of the stories in the bible (for instance) are pure BS or silly fictional stories/folklore. One must then ask: can you really expect the other stories in the bible (that can’t easily be proven false) to be factual? What are the chances God would send “someone” down to one tiny town (ignoring the rest of the entire planet) to live for 33 years, but that person never wrote anything down and we “know” about only a few short sections of his life from hearsay? And He left it in the hands of 12 people to convince everyone else on the entire planet that God was here! They couldn’t even convince many of the people who were there at that time that he was God!?
Similarly, belief in miracles, ghosts, prayer, the devil, Noah's ark, creationism, palm readers, prophecies, armageddon, the bible, koran, torah, etc. is infantile as these things are based on superstition, ignorance and stupidity. Parents help propagate ignorance and superstition by teaching their children about religion, or even by just showing the children that they (parents) believe in a religion. This brainwashes the child who will likely grow up believing the same silly, backwards, superstitious beliefs.

Answer 2

Devoutly or excessively religious people are not dangerous or stupid, until they preach.

Faith is a good thing to have if it gives you guidance and helps you to help your fellow man, however, if you preach to someone else who might have their own faith, you risk creating bad feeling.

Why is your God so much better than mine? - Before you know it you've got your mates, they've got theirs and you're all reaching for your guns.

I don't have a problem with people of excessive faith, just leave me to get on with my own philosophies.

Answer 3

I am not devoutly religious - in fact, I DETEST religion - just like God does.

However, I am completely and utterly devoted to Jesus Christ who I have a wonderful, fulfilling and exciting relationship with.

Those who look for a religion have not found what they seek - and ALL people seek Jesus Christ because ALL our spirits were created to worship Him.

Blessings and truth upon you.

I believe that they have seen the light and want to spend as much of their time and energy in the presence of the holy spirit. As the song goes '' they have a peace that passeth understanding down in their heart.''

Am I to assume that you are ignorant ? And I mean that in the true sense of the word.

If a guy or woman lives via affection then they at the instant are not going to additionally carry hate/grudges/anger. the will see the innocence in all & be able to forgive somewhat than to hold negativity. i comprehend that interior the previous a number of years I easily have felt held returned. I easily have had to truly seem at how I easily have not been residing in alignment with God's word.
