You just have to browse this site to draw that conclusion. Just compare the responses given by theists compared to atheists. Nothing retards intellectual development as much as religious indoctrination.

now let me think about that for a nano second...yes!\nlets face it, the bible was a collection of STORIES...and if anyone thinks that people get turned into pillars of salt, then they are more stupid than i thought

Absolutely not. That's ridiculous. I think there's a LOT they don't understand. I'm the only Christian one in my family, if I was intellectually lazy I wouldn't believe in God at all, just like them.

Interesting website, but I'm a Hindu and this website is definately just a "Christianity is wrong" website. It's concept of God is limited in its perspective and it doesn't seem to bother to look further into the vast landscape of religious, philosophical, theological, and spiritual diversity that exists. The site seems to be aimed at trying to convince Christians that what they believe is wrong (which seems very similar to how many Christians try to convert people by trying to convince them what what they believe is right). So, for me, the website wasn't of any real interest.\n\nI do have a complaint about the website. It loads its pages too slow (and I'm on DSL!). Not sure why it was moving so slow, but it took me a while to even read through the website. Whoever maintains the website should look into this or contact their host. \n\nOther than that I am sure that the website is of interest to those who would already agree with it. Otherwise I seriously doubt many Christians would take it very seriously and the website isn't speaking to people of other religions (it seems not to even acknowledge the larger more diverse concepts of God, religion, etc). \n\nThanks for sharing the website.\n\nPeace be with you.

Hmmmm....more science debunking religion. Great article.\n\nAnd what is the typical fundie response to it? Just check gwhiz's response..... fingers in ears, LA LA LA LA LA LA LA, Im not listening because I KNOW God is real.....\n\nCan you belevie we breathe the same air as these people? That they were educated in the same schools as you and I? Be afraid, be very afriad. This is where the future of America is heading.....

You're right.  \n\nAs man becomes more intelligent, the nonsense of religion just becomes more and more ludicrous.\n\nIt's dying fast.\n\nChurches are almost empty now.  Even those people who pretend to be religious would rather be in the DIY superstore on a Sunday instead of church.\n\nWere it not for the vast wealth of the churches, which they acquired through stealing all those years ago, Christianity plc would now be bankrupt.

as an atheist (former catholic) i think. and my thoughts lead me to the conclusion that they are all misled children who choose to believe in some sky-king instead of empirical evidence. their ignorance facilitates all of the social injustices you have listed and many others. their religions are just tools of social control. they are blinded by their righteous vanity and ignorance. people of sense and intelligence need to appeal to the children of these misled people in hopes of breaking this cycle of ignorance.

very good!! you are starting to see the errors of your ways.  Fuzzy logic doesn't really hold true, that's why Science has to rule out the Bible as a credible source for anything.\n\nPEACE!  and have a GOOD day!

I hate Stupid People...\nBut definetly the stupid religious people at least the others tend to have a sense of humor

I think there are a few things going on here.  Some of these people, indeed maybe all, deep down are haunted by the idea maybe there IS  a God they will be responsible to and are bitter about the whole thing and want to badger us.  Some of them want to expose the woeful lack of knowledge many Christians have to defend their faith (which is very logical and sensible and many extremely intelligent people embrace it)  We must remember, the cross is an offense to people.  Those of the world killed Christ and the world will always hate us.  These people will hate our uninformed anwers and they will hate our informed will reasoned answers.  They are a waste of time.  I believe this is what Jesus referred to when He said not to cast your pearls before swine.  Our time is too short.  Save time for the true seekers.  They are not too hard to find.  Also, study to show thyself approved so you can give a good defense for our faith, not just scripture but how it makes sense in our world and state of existence as a whole.

It's not the religion itself. It's the birdbrains that think God is talking to them and telling them to do idiotic things. They're found in all religions.

Athesits behave cause of fools like you.. they think people who follow some religion will talk like you idiot.

I think some people seek a higher purpose or reason for living. Others just think religion is stupid.\n\nPeople with more education tend to be less religious. Is there a relationship with intelligence? Who knows?\n\nMy guess is "hard wired", but upbringing is part of it.

I would say about 90% brainwashed and about 10% enlightened. They aren't all stupid. When you are raised in the faith, it can be a long and hard process to recover.
