what is the circle.

The U.S.
well that is pretty cool, we are kinda bucking the trend there.
haha
Too bad we aren't going to be able to do that forever. There's a reason countries like Germany, Japan and Canada are gaining on us economically, it's because they don't elect their leaders based off which one likes Jeebus the most.
Atheism; bastion of bigotry. Why can't you be more tolerant? Why must you hate? Life is better when you aren't so bitter. I, obviously, am not going to suggest you find God, but I will suggest that you find SOMETHING in your life to hang your hat on other than, "I'm NOT a believer." "I'm, obviously, smarter than those who are - here's a random chart to prove it."
Again, don't hate, you'll be happier for it.
And, I'll pray for you.
Well said, 101A.
Except for the whole "bastion of bigotry" thing, maybe.
Just because you only notice obnoxious atheists doesn't mean they all want to sneer at you contemptuously any more than you want to pray for people's death with Pat Robertson.
Christians: bastions of bigotry towards Mormons, sexuals and evolutionists to name a few.
I pray that Satan will one day remove In God We Trust from our currency so that I don't feel the constant bigotry every time I make a purchase.
Not all of them.
EDIT-- Not all Christians.
right, just like not all atheists.
101A has been a bastion of Straw lately.
Fair enough. I've been awol for a few months -- not up to speed.
Christians/Jews aren't bigoted toward Mormons. Not any that i know of. have any statistics on that, Blake, or you just pulling that out your ass?
sexuals? don't narrow the scope of your criticism to fit you're anti-religious bias. Ever been to Japan? See what rights are afforded to gays in Japan and get back to me. it aint just a Christian thang.
evolutionists? the Pope has already given credence to the theory.
...just how young are you, anyway?
lol posting a chart = bastion of bigotry
lol persecution of christians in America
I'm just posting the facts. The smarter countries tend to be the less religious countries, as shown by the chart. There's nothing bigoted about a linear regression chart.
I also wouldn't care about religion at all if religious people didn't think that the bible should impact laws in this country. That's the only reason I give a .
have you been keeping up with the GOP primaries?
but we agree it's still a Christian thang.sexuals? .....it aint just a Christian thang.
meh, I'm not really sure I can call it bigotry.evolutionists? the Pope has already given credence to the theory.
just ignorance on the part of die hard Bible thumpers + mouse.
Athiests have an agenda against religion by definition, correct? If you didn't believe in God but didn't care what others did, wouldn't that just make you agnostic? If so, athiests should stop imposing their beliefs on everyone else imo.
What dictionary are you using
No, and No.
Atheists don't believe in a God/Higher Power/Etc. This doesn't immediately create an agenda against those who are theistic.
I believe that blue is the best color, you may believe that red is the best color, this doesn't automatically create an agenda against your red-loving.
As far as agnosticism, I will let wikipedia speak for me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AgnosticismIn the strict sense, however, agnosticism is the view that human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify knowledge whether God exists or does not. Within agnosticism there are agnostic atheists (who do not believe any deity exists, but do not deny it as a possibility) and agnostic theists (who believe a God exists but do not claim to know that).
No, he's just one of a number of (self-superior) atheists on the board who randomly, and without cause, pick fights with people of faith in general, and Christians in particular. They are openly hostile and threatened by Christian's mere existence.
Also, the mere fact that I believe two different things: 1. That murder is wrong and that 2. God commands: "Thou Shalt not Kill"...DOES NOT mean that I think there should be a law banning murder because it is in the bible.
Straw, indeed.
Idk man that's just the general vibe I always got without ever taking the time to look it up, man you athiests should really relax and stop putting off such a vibe if you aren't even for abolishing religion completely
In the history of mankind there has never been a more amazing information-delivery system than the one you're typing on... why on earth would you ask a bunch of s on a basketball bulletin board?
Posting a regression chart pointing out a trend wasn't really picking a fight, you're very defensive on this topic.
I was talking about abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, etc. Idk where I referred to murder laws.
Before you claim abortion is murder, there's mounds of scientific evidence against that claim, and it's a claim created by religion.
