Spoken like a true idiot! No being religious or non-religious does not make you stupid. Being black, white, Hispanic or Asians does not mean you automatically stupid. Being gay or straight does not make you stupid. Being a prejudice asshole is what makes you STUPID.
Sorry no, religion IS stupid and you tell me why it is not.Tell me what can possibly be construed as intelligent about practicing religion. That's all, just one example..I will give you a straight forward example of why it's thick.Because to follow a practice that has such an impact on peoples lives just because somebody says you should, and with no further evidence goes against everything we do as human beings.Go on off you go mate...
As ever a sound response from an astute factual observer, so tell me, what is intelligent about religion? Also I didn't realise being black or gay was a belief? Read carefully now, you have included black and gay in with a discussion on religion..people can stop believing whenever they like..
I had a chat with a black pal of mine and he agrees that he's not stupid JUST because he's black. He is very astute and realises there are many reasons for being so thick..
I'm afraid you see religion as some kind of personal attribute, but it is not. People have their own choice whether they believe in fiction or not, it has no similarity with ethnicity or anything like that.
I'm asking this, because in my opinion, if you believe in things that are told to you, which obviously lack evidence, then how can your brain keep its integrity?
Well no one knows what happens after we die. So you can not disprove or prove things like a soul. Things like this have no evidence either way. So its not stupid to believe or not believe.
Some things we have yet to answer. So having a different opinion does not make you stupid. Many people believe in things like spirits and ghosts. Even in japan they seem to have some superstitions and these are some of the smartest people on earth.
That and even if these beliefs are incorrect it hurts no one to follow them. It is like attacking someone for not eating meat. If they don't want to eat meat let them do what they want. Long as they are not bothering people who choose to eat it. Now trying to get meat banned is going to get a lot of backlash. People who choose to abuse animals though is another story.
I partially agree with this, it's just that Religious people often tend to be disgusted of people that are following the same lifestyle as theirs, that's mainly what pisses me off.
Anyone who pushes any kind of view on others is close minded, and ignorant. We all have a right to believe what we wish. We all should have the right to live how we want. We should not sink so low as to insult everyone who is different. Whats the point of it? Making someone else feel like shit is not going to fix anything. If you disagree you disagree. It is like beating up the kid with glasses since you think glasses are dumb. I don't see the point at all.
I've never beaten up a religious type as far as I know, and I agree that they do tend to be, not thick, but er..more simpelarlar..? However I DID beat up the guy with the glasses, and typically it had nothing to do with glasses..he was a little shit, the little shit, and he deserved it too!
Do you mean that are or that aren't? Also yes its very rude for someone to be snobby to people who do not have the same belief as them. This goes two ways though. People should not insult each other for having different beliefs.
If its something like abortion, rape, killing or something like that yes it is a bit more complicated. Saying I hate someone simply because they believe or don't believe in god is stupid. It is like hating someone for being gay. If they are not hurting anyone let them be.
If you agree or disagree if they hurt no one why should we care? A lot things in religion answers things we don't really have an answers to yet. Many people who have had near death experiences have claimed to have out of body experiences and seen dead loved ones.
Not all religious people like that and its very stereotypical. Just like not all white people are nazis, all Mexicans are not smelly, and all black people are not criminals. A true christian does not judge people even if they disagree. A true christian lets god decide. So a true christian is not going to go around saying "You go to hell"! You go to hell"! they might pray for you but its as good faith.
No, religious practice and the people that practice it are shit. I don't know how to wrap this comment up in myth and legend and then present it in song so I just wrote it as is....(think about it)
Is it normal to think that religious people are less intelligent?
