I completely agree with you people of different faiths debating is what we are doing on this section.We may not agree but it's the different personality's that you come to know and have a fondness for.The reportings are getting out of hand and are being done for no valid reason.

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.

I doubt it. There is a long tradition of Christian intellectualism (just ask the Jesuits). Read contemporary theological commentators like Spong and Borg and try to suggest that they're in possession of low IQs. Personally, I'm religious and hold a doctorate, something not generally awarded to idiots. Of course, I also know some very intelligent atheists...as well as a few prize-winning morons of that persusion. There are both bright and ignorant people from both camps, believing and non-believing.

Well let's see I'd say the reason for that is CHRISTIANS ARE STUPID!\n\nIf their church tells them something well that is to believed without question.  After all to question God is a sure fire way to get a giant flaming pitch fork in your ass forever!\n\nYou know the way God show just how much he LOVES YOU!

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.

Isn't most politeness or standing on ceremony a plastic facade of handed down etiquette.as far as idiots maybe they are wierd in one area however aside from this compartment full of false means to a hopefully good end fantasies for realities and superstitions in general the rest of the Christians brain seems quite intelligent as a rule and actually has contributed to the science that is slowly replacing the fading grasp of an antiquated Christian brotherhood. Hell is on earth .\npeaceout

It is in the human's nature to fear what they don't understand. It is lack of exposure to differences and an ignorant attitude that create fear. Religions can foster this ignorance, yes.

Nope the stupid ones are the ones that blindly follow religion without questioning 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.

But we do know that religion makes people ignorant.

I beleive people are trying to find some sort of excuse for everything they do in life, and it is always easy to find some excuse or to blame somebody else. For me, it is really annoying when people put religion in everything they do, regardless of the religion.

Must be one of the most stupid questions ever.  Why don't you read a little history concerning the suppression of religion?

I think the reason is that people are trying to show how smart they are about religion and they are also trying to convert other people any way they can.
