Are People Who Believe in God Stupid?

[Feck]

Well apart from the Chinese being more intelligent than the Merkins of course .

[Thinking Aloud]

Isn't it "blow a gasket"?

[Rob]

Yeah. It is, somehow the G transformed into a B. Its like blowing a gasket, except much more spectacular. I blame Pawiz.

If you are a new user, Dawkboy(I hold no opinion either way as to this "sockestry"), then get used to this sort of thing. Serious discussions can be intermingled with light hearted-ness every now and again. No reason to, as they say, blow a basket. As much as I am an intellectual and a thinker, I enjoy the banter you find here.

It's all brainwashing dude!

In which case, Rationalia has been successful in their attempts.

You sold your soul at the door , you were easy to catch, it only took a few moistened bints to say you were cute and you just handed it over .

Oh go glow a basket!

I think people who believe in god are moral, intelligent, and superior to atheists. Atheists are immoral, dumb, and dumber.

Except for Kristie.

You don't believe in god, though. You believe in a panentheist "force" thingy that permeates the universe and exudes and extrudes from every pore and orifice of the universe and transcends the universe. That ain't no god. So you get counted among the dumb, immoral and dumberer atheists.

The French are smelly and rude.

My wife is one of those.

S'ok. I'm smarter than she is.
Mostly.

She Who Must Be Obeyed is of similar spiritual ilk, too. Not a biggie. Her god, apparently, loves me even if I don't believe in it, so I'm good to go. There is also no hell in the offing, which is nice.

[Chuck Jones]

Coitus...

No, I do believe in god. That's why it's called panentheism, not panenatheism.

[Robert_S]

For some people there's a difference between "believe" and "think it is true".

[Coito ergo sum]

Coitus...

It's coito - not "coitus."

But, that thing you believe in is not really a god. It's some different concept, wholly distinct from polytheistic and monotheistic gods - which are actual gods - beings - deities - yours is just some amorphous energy thingy without the personification required for an actual god, like Yahweh, Allah, Zeus, Apollo, Odin and that ilk. Those are gods. Yours is just sort of a concept.
