We can forgive simple people for believing in god, but shouldn't educated...

...people know better? I mean, it's fine for those poor creatures with diminutive intellects, whatever makes them happy. But when you see an educated person saying that they believe in a God.
Well, there's just no excuse, is there?
I3ecareful: but my superciliousness is my best feature
Capri7: As an atheist we get told regularly that we're not going to be forgiven and go to some hell. Im not saying that you personally make these sort of threats, but I bet you don't complain if you hear one from that side

Yes, and we will be the first people to build super dikes against the large scale floods. We are so intellectual.

Furthermore, we will watch vikings pull each others pubic hair. This is what you call Ragnarok surfin' style. We will go against all conventions!

You are walking the fine line of "to give a violation, or not give a violation".
Don't come in here to insult people.

They may be educated but they haven't thought about it much. All thinking men are atheists.

Anyone ever call you arrogant, and self righteous ?

**mycousin** · 10-09-2009, 09:57 PM

You are the simple one.

1. You broke the rules here by insulting others.
2. You assume that ANYONE needs your forgiveness for believing in God.
3. You can't even capitalize proper nouns correctly.
4. You can't even write a sentence correctly.

(The group of words beginning with "But" is a fragment.

There is no excuse for your illiteracy.

Indoctrination, tradition, and protecting one's dogma are all very powerful.

I am not validating their beliefs, but there are still reason why educated people believe.

Sorry my friend. I have a B.A. in Anthropology and I'm a Deist/Pantheist. I do believe in a God but admit there is no evidence of one. I also have a main principal not to interfere with the free will of others.
