For real. So many times i've seen it said that Atheists are more intelligent, have better jobs and earn more money. Tell me why then, do i as an Atheist still live in the projects???
LOL and peace!!

Perhaps you are the exception that proves the rule. ;-)

I think that one must be intelligent and self sufficient and questioning and cynical to be an atheist; but we do not necessarily have better jobs nor earn more money than anyone else because we have the same chance problems and environments and backgrounds as anyone else and these affect us; as they do anyone else, which affects our lives.
The key word in the above is chance, which we recognize; we also recognize our potential as individuals to control chance, without resorting to blaming or praising a mythical being for what is no more than nature and chance.
I don't think I know it all; I just think I know more of it than you.

Not sure how intellect, better jobs, and more money would be characteristic of atheists. As far as intelligence, some of the comments by atheists on these forums can be just as mindless and ignorant as any other group. It's just a stereotype.

We never said we know it all... we have said that we believe in empirical proof or at least a modicum of evidence. When it comes to the Big Bang and Evolution, we have that and we're satisfied that we're right.
With god and the bible, we do NOT have that and so we will continue to maintain that it's not true unless new evidence presents itself (because the Christians sure aren't presenting it).

That's the whole point. Atheists don't know it all. The difference is that they are prepared to admit it whereas the others have their faith which they mistake for knowledge.
Financial success is not solely dependent on philosophy

A person's beliefs have nothing to do with intelligence, jobs, or earning power.

Atheists are not smart. They are pretty retarded. I mean you rather believe theories rather then archaeological evidence that supports the bible and other ancient texts that support it. Show me evidence of the big bang theory. If You live in the projects don't worry. The bible says at the end that silver and gold wont save anyone. The first will become last the last will become first. By the way, what was the monkey before it was a monkey. And If we came from monkeys why is there still monkeys?

We may have a better handle on the truth; that doesn't mean we all find the better jobs. Too bad for us.
