    "Love Trumps Hate"-rs

    That has to be the most evil sentiment I have ever read. You've just wished death on a person for your own amusement and to somehow prove your political bias? Shame, shame, shame. I'm surprised they allow that sort of hateful rhetoric here on RF. This is the sort of person who voted for Trump...

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    Well, that's a cop out. I have been reading each and everyone. Just because we might disagree doesn't make me inattentive. That's a non sequitur. The first real problem with your contention is the premise that theists rely on only one book. What? They don't read? I'm certain that many theists...

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    How do you explain theists such as Einstein or Darwin? Who are they 'ignorant' when compared to?

    Trump is our new president.

    Welcome to Trumptardia...

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    Watch it... your bias is showing. Your experience isn't everyone's experience. What may be difficult for you to accept, might very well be easy as pie for me. Such is faith and atheists rely on that as much as any theist. There is no superiority in belief of disbelief. There never was. There...

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    This is true of theists and atheists alike. Either can be abusive. Either can be sheeple. Either can rely on emotions for their beliefs. Either can claim superiority of some fashion. In other words, either can by biased and even bigoted. For that matter, neither have incontrovertible truth other...

    Return of Sender

    Why can't it be both? A comforter until he returns?

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    @psychoslice refers to IQ tests. He's the OP, so that's how I'm reading it.

    Safe Spaces and RF

    FWIW, I have found that ignore works just as well as any special area. If you stop feeding the trolls (ignoring them) then they soon lose interest. I have three members on ignore at this point and I find the RF experience far, far nicer, more intelligent and rewarding. Let's face it. For every...

    I wish I could be there!

    There's not much happening here in the Keys like that. I certainly miss activism.

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    It's cunningly hidden in the title of the thread Not really. He's accusing me of being an insecure person, overwhelmed by my beliefs, having a chip on my shoulder, etc. etc. It's a typical ad hominem attack. Instead of showing how my ideas and beliefs are wrong, he simply tries to destroy me...

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    I've seen more than a few, but none of them demonstrate that becoming a theist reduces your IQ. None have proven that becoming an atheist increases your IQ. There's no substantial correlation that can be drawn here, other than that most atheists are single white males and that IQ tests are...

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    Yes... you can even make your own... I made this one especially for @psychoslice!

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    Stop projecting. Stop with the ad hominem. Stop with the constant ridicule and condescension. There's no need to resort to such emotional and baseless accusations. Stop attacking -me- and address the concerns I have given you. To whit, provide us at least a bit of proof for your biased beliefs...

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    I completely disagree with you... why can't you accept that? You have tried to show superiority through having a higher intelligence by being an atheist. It doesn't appear that your switch to atheism has helped your comprehension of logic one whit. Again, you've provided absolutely and...

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    I guess that's one way to justify bias and bigotry. I guess you can't expect eloquence from such. You have presented -zero- facts to support any of this. Why should I accept your bias as being true? Just because you 'said' it? And you want me to believe that you're more intelligent than myself...

    Is religion making us all stupid ?

    Actually, you're posting and not saying. As much as atheism or any other dogma, for that fact. It's not even a fact, much less 'well known'. It's just your bias showing through trying to act superior. That you can't see that makes me question your own intelligence.

    Do you originally think "Antisemitism"?

    Automatically: no. Do I run it through my possible bigot filter? Like most everything else: sure.
