religiosity and/or strength of religious belief is associated with less intelligence

[charlie sc]

What I’m trying to say is I’m happy because of what I learnt through religion..Im living in peace..which means I’ve stopped counting, reacting, questioning, looking, judging etc..because of that I now know and see how the world really looks like. It’s Beautiful..at the end there is no difference to life then what you make of it.

I'm very happy for you. I even made a post on the healthy benefits of religiosity.

Of course it’s not a problem for you, Yet! And You haven’t even bother to look at the difference..so what do you know then, nothing but your own in knowledge and understanding of what life is about.

I think what you're saying here is that religion gives understanding about what life is about. I have no doubt this is the case.

You should try it..I hated it at first, but it was the seed in it that worked it’s way to me, I would recommend it to all my friends, so you should try it.

Use of a joke website is self refuting. It confirms the claim that your beliefs are not scientific.

They're not my beliefs. I transcribed them from official church sources so that we could all have a convenient reference manual. I tried to get you to help me with that on Topix but you fled every time you were asked any sort of question.

Tell me, why do you think that global warming cannot be measured.

Tell me, how does one measure Global Warming? ... for his shirt size? ... for his unfettered capitalist GREED? How?

Global Warming: proper noun
The Arch-villain of the Global Warming mythology; born out of unfettered capitalism, Global Warming acquires His power from "heat" produced by Greenhouse Effect. Global Warming is constantly at war with the goddess Climate,. His favorite weapons are CO2, methane, water vapor and greenhouse gas which he feeds to Greenhouse Effect in return for more "heat" and thus more power.

Now come on, you can do better than that.

You do not even understand the Greenhouse Effect. Heck you don't understand your cherished Stefan-Boltzmann equation. Your approach to that is religious and not based upon observations.

Maybe tomorrow we can run through that again. This site allows better use of sources than Topix did.

You do not even understand the Greenhouse Effect.

Greenhouse Gas: noun
According to the Global Warming mythology, greenhouse gas is a magickal substance (a gas) that has the magickal superpower to cause any black body in which it comes into contact to violate the Stefan-Boltzmann law by increasing its temperature while decreasing its radiance. This belief falls under Settled Science.

Greenhouse Effect: proper noun
Global Warming's loyal servant, creates "heat" when fed CO2, methane, water vapor and greenhouse gas by invoking his magickal superpower to force a black body to violate the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Greenhouse Effect continues to increase the earth's heat budget to aid Global Warmingin His war against Climate. This belief falls under Settled Science.

 

[Mindmaster]

You and I both know you are a hater who cannot tolerate differing views. You are an intellectual coward as demonstrated by your "troll" comment.

But you have your opinions ... that you were ordered to have by someone else ... and you obeyed.

Except that I didn't even say that, someone else did.

So, I'm an intellectual coward? Ain't you just a peach? Here's a glass of water for your salty salty life.

 

[ecco]

You sound intelligent..after all that thinking..that is what you can come up with “Death”. Even them characters in cartoon know better than that!

Not perhaps my friend! “I chose to” believe in this for my answer then just saying there’s nothing but death waiting for me.

This is where intelligence can’t seem to figure out where they go wrong; when solving something it should not depend on only of what you know of it..it depends in which of it..is the BEST choice of its opportunity.

Well! I wish you all the best! Of you.

I don't need your wishes. I am quite comfortable accepting reality. I have no need to hope and pray for something beyond this life.

It's really strange that many believers get upset when one of their children dies. They should be glad. The child got a headstart on eternity in heaven. Eternity. Forever. Nearer to God. For ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

 

[ecco]

If you have never witnessed a Global Warming believer try to talk science, it will make you laugh so hard that you won't be able to breathe.

If I have never seen a cartoon, how will that make me laugh?

If I have never witnessed a trial, how will that make me laugh?

I have seen cartoons that made me laugh. But cartoons that I didn't see never made me laugh.

Are the above definitions your own? I don't see any attributions, that leads me to understand that they are yours. On the other hand, they are not in the same writing style as your other comments. You wouldn't be plagiarizing, would you?

Well as easy as it said; good luck on that.

It's really strange that many believers get upset when one of their children dies. They should be glad. The child got a headstart on eternity in heaven. Eternity. Forever. Nearer to God. For ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

It ain’t strange because it’s obvious that they’re faith isn’t strong enough making one just the same as you. And now your making yourself look like an idiot!.using kids an example of your ignorant attitude! I take it you don’t have any kids, nephews or nieces, well even if you did..you don’t deserve them..judging on how you’ve used them to prove a point. Makes you sound like a coward!

I don't think someone can become religious without believing in it's fundamental tenants. I'm uncertain god(s) exists, so I cannot easily follow anything related to something supposedly god says. I do however enjoy Bible stories.
I have tried secular Buddhism and really enjoyed it. Some of their Noble Truths has a resonating impact on me. Though, I think much of it comes down to living in the moment, which we can all try do more often.

Some of the posts seem to be missing, what happened?

Apparently it can happen..it happened to me surprisingly..as I was one of the worst non believer in my before..I was the skeptic kind, I did not believe in a God because I attended services all the time, I believed in God because my skepticism figured parts of mysteries of life and later found answers in Gods mysterious work/words. My thoughts of Buddhism is part of its mystery that links to the same God in however, but that story is for the next time..and its good enough with me and mine. With putting all this work into it..and into ones life..I found that it really mattered..that one must ask the right questions, and then one will find the right answers.

All the best to you my friend hopefully all goes well and safe in your journey.

Yes, they would be mine, at least this specific wording. I pieced together definitions from hundreds of devout Global Warming worshipers to ensure accuracy.

You were supposed to figure out that if you have never seen one before then you will be made to laugh the first time you see one. If you have seen the same thing a few hundred times then it might not make you laugh.

If you didn't say it then I apologize. I was hopping back and forth between screens and posts that I was bound to get some confused.

I'll buy you a beer:

What is cowardly about pointing out hypocrisy?

You just essentially said that people who are saddened by the loss of a child don't have any more faith in God than an atheist.

That's a lot worse than what I said. I just pointed out their hypocrisy, you accused them of being faithless.

I like you IBdaMann and I have the feeling you've been scolded. If I may make a suggestion. First, You could work on your poe style a bit more to make it a bit more humorous and less insulting for others. Second, don't try so hard. Relax

You were supposed to figure out that if you have never seen one before then you will be made to laugh the first time you see one. If you have seen the same thing a few hundred times then it might not make you laugh.

Actually, all I had to do was realize that you don't understand the difference between "ever" and "never".
