Yes I agree with you- those people either didn't read the question properly, or are seriously substandard.
I'm just about to give you one of the anwers you have asked for on your other question.

First of all, you may be generalizing- what other theories are you talking about that are remotely possible, yet can be grouped together with the idea of God?
Also, the idea of God is very logical. There is the Law of Causality- everything must have a cause, or it would not exist. The universe exists, therefore it is caused. Something must have caused it. There are other reasons, such as if the universe had always been in existence, entropy (breakdown of energy) would already have completed itself, and the universe would be an mush of equally heated matter. So the universe at one time did not exist- and that brings causality back into it. So I wouldn't say that the idea of God is not very probable.

I read all the responses and I thought life_is_grand put forth a very intelligent, valid arguement.
Is it just that no one has agreed with you directly enough for your taste? Because to tell you the truth your "question" is nothing more than a jumble of opinions. I had a hard time discerning your actual question :(
Would you mind rephrasing and re-asking for our benefit? Thank you kindly :)

Maybe somekind of points differentiation would help. As in those who take time and trouble to answer are awarded more points than a smart quippy oneliner.......which is perhaps insulting to the asker. Not sure how it could be sorted....but some do take a lot of time......and answer fully and in a caring way....should they not be rewarded as such with say 5 points over a certain number of words?

I think the thing is, people who use this are sometimes just out for the points, and couldn't care less if they sound idiotic. They also don't have the mental capacity to understand the question, so they throw insults in attempt to cover up their stupidity!

"Non-believers won't be able to only turn on a faith as a fashion to be happy. in case you discover non secular claims astonishing, then you definately won't have self belief them, in spite of the meant rewards in terms of non-public success,” he pronounced. "Happiness is an elusive thought, besides - i discover listening to classical music happy and staring at soccer repulsive. different individuals experience precisely the choice. interior the top, it comes right down to the guy and, to an quantity, their genetic predispositions." at the same time as no you are able to still argue that genetics don’t impression one’s disposition, Justin Thacker, head of Theology for the Evangelical Alliance, says that there are surely different components worth thinking. He says a thought in God will improve one’s feeling that existence is critical. "there is extra suitable than one rationalization for this - area of it's going to be the experience of community and the relationships fostered, yet that would not account for all of it. a great area of it extremely is via the meaning, purpose and value which believing in God grants, while no longer believing in God can depart you without those issues."

Have perhaps slid into an alternative universe but when did it become a crime to live a different life in a different part of the universe to just blunder along, try this and that ideology, try and make sense of it all . . . . . . / . . . . .and think a few things through and do very little harm so far as is possible and not be swept along by propaganda but just try to live and let live

When you said "stupid answers from dunces" I thought it was a request for me to come and answer this one. I don't know how to go to the link. Every time I go near it with my mouse, the cursor gives me the finger. I'm not taking that abuse from my own computer.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, is a cleverer and more erudite person than I. He has spoken on this topic and it is approachable. If you have half an hour, you can listen to what he has to say here:

Hope this helps.
