Study Reveals Some Truths About Atheists
Apr 13, 2015 22:59:05 #
The University of Rochester psychologists behind the study defined religion as involvement in some or all parts of a belief.
They defined intelligence as the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience.
In their conclusions, they said: Most extant explanations (of a negative relation) share one central theme the premise that religious beliefs are irrational, not anchored in science, not testable and, therefore, unappealing to intelligent people who know better.
Intelligent people typically spend more time in school a form of self-regulation that may yield long-term benefits.
More intelligent people getting higher level jobs and better employment and higher salary may lead to higher self-esteem, and encourage personal control beliefs.

Thank you. I knew there was a big difference. I always had my suspicions. Now I know what it is. Intelligence.

Rix,
I absolutely agree with that conclusion. I'll now go change into my Kevlar jacket and await the backlash of the great unwashed.

The major flaw in this line of reasoning is expecting things to make sense. Life is a confusing endeavor. I am constantly confused, furthermore, any one who thinks that he knows everything, is even more confused than I am.

Yes intelligence is the epitome of all ignorance, lack of common sense, and yes also Faith. Dogs have intelligence, some! more than their owners. hmmm.
Yes intelligence the epitome of superfluous waste. :) Have a nice day ----- NOT!. :thumbdown:

If you want more discussion why not post something worth discussing. This is just silly bullshit Rix. I've generally viewed you as just another smartass with a fair amount of intelligence. I've alway been one to admit my mistakes and I think I may have made one. The last couple threads I've opened of yours are not even up to the standard of clever bullshit. You are just another extremist blinded by your own bias.

You post therefore you are intelligent? And this is your proof?
Honestly, you need to come up with something better than that. I could care less if you believe in God or the Tooth Fairy. I don't believe it's right to trash those that believe in God for the simple reason that you don't. There's absolutely nothing to be gained from it, and that my friend is all the proof anyone needs of your stupidity.
Don't worry though. God looks out for children and fools.

They could have saved themselves a lot of time and money if they had just opened a Webster's Dictionary .
(the definition of Intelligence is just a ways down from "Idiot " )lol

You are mistaking indifference for hate. I am indifferent to religion and theism. Just as I am indifferent to you and your comments.

Rix, you're in a state of denial. A third grader could look at what you post in every thread that you post in regarding religion and clearly see that you are not indifferent. Okay hate may be a bit strong but you are not indifferent.
