So, when did you join MENSA? Or have you? Or would you actually qualify.
If Christians are smarter, I'd really be willing to have a discussion with such a superior intellect. Trouble is that you don't allow email. As this isn't a discussion board, such a conversation is impossible unless you allow email. If you so choose at some point, if you aren't afraid to show someone what you've got, go ahead and allow email. I'd be glad to chat.
(BTW), If you send me an email, but don't allow email yourself, I'll get it, but will be unable to reply. You need to specifically allow email in your profile to have a two-way conversation.
On the other hand, you could send me an email, containing a legitimate email address, and we could converse that way as well. Then you don't have to be afraid of people sending you dozens. I promise I won't post it .... then again, can you accept a promise from a Pagan? Your choice.
Too, I'm quite happy of late. Smarter and happier, or just smug? I wonder.

How does believing in something you cannot comprehend, magically make you smarter? The sole purpose for religion since the beginning of civilization has been to controll poor and stupid people.
The christian religion seems to be counterproductive to acquiring knowledge. They believe that if they let christ into their lives, they will be possessed by god and god will do his work through them. If this is true then there's really no point in learning about anything but christianity because god will take care of everything. A large portion of christians show me that they don't have the intellectual capacity to question the validity of the information given to them. And that their logic is cowering in the shadow of their fear.
As for christians being happier, i haven't seen any relationship between religious beliefs and happiness( my family is mostly christian, and mostly miserable). Just because i don't believe in god doesn't mean i have no reason to live, or life is trivial. Most christians must assume that they are happier and smarter, because they assume that they are right and everybody who's not christian is wrong. They can't imagine what it would be like to question their faith and live their life without the big monkey in the sky constantly watching and guiding them.

Really. Not some of the Christians I know. In both the happier and smarter aspects. I mean really now, if you were smarter, then you would have used correct spelling and grammar. Can't take you very seriously, now can I?

Let's debate your assertion that Christians are normally smarter. It seems to go against a large number of studies finding a negative correlation between intelligence and religious belief. It's also unsupported by your spelling.

Please detail for me the ramifications of UCC article 2-202 and whether evidence of subsequent modifications to a contract is allowable under the code. Please also detail for me when a contract can be explained/supplemented under the above article. Is this article good policy? How does it modify common-law contract rules, if at all?
I am an agnostic. This is what I am studying tonight. Surely your Christian genius-points can help you explain UCC (which is really kind of hard for me, despite my 163 LSAT.)
Thanks!

"Christians are normally smarter?" You've already lost the debate right there, buddy. Statistics show that Christians normally do poorer on IQ tests than non-believers. Look it up.

Smarter and happer? Yeah because you try to make life a misery for the atheists, christians also impeded scientific studies throughout history with threats of being labelled a heretic and being murdered.
Why are photosynthesizing plants created before the Sun in genesis? How did they survive without the sun?
Why are dinosaurs not mentioned anywhere?
Why do christians kill in the name of God, when the Bible states specifically "Thou shalt not kill."??
How does believing in something make you better than someone else?

OK, let's debate parsing theory. I contend that LALR(1) parsers are better, though larger than your standard LL(1) parser.
Your turn.
