  • Nope. Until something more tangible than Iron Age fables and tribal folklore can be presented as evidence, I have as yet seen no cause to give credence to the concept of supernatural deities of any stripe. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 15, 2017 4:41 PM MDT

  • I like to think our commonalities are more precious than our differences.

    I will agree once more. My reply shouldn't be read any differently, and certainly not as a statement of the opposite. We haven't communicated much and I do not know if you are aware that English won't be my native language. I try to make myself as understandable as my skills allows me, but misunderstandings so happen on rare occasions. :-)

  • You communicate just fine, SH. I was reflecting on a recent discussion we had that set us at apparent odds. No worries.

    I do recall, and I got the link. One question won't part our ways here. It does take more. ;-)

    Religious people are less intelligent than non-believer, as some scientific surveys say in your question.  Well, put me down as a less intelligent person because I'm big on GOD. This post was edited by Beans/SilentGeneration at April 2, 2017 11:00 PM MDT

    As per average. It doesn't, like any research tell anything about the individual. :-)

    You don't have to say sorry to me. I will be agreeing with you on this one. :-)

    I wonder how a Deist scores on this test?

    Hmm. Good question, and one that might be worth a single question for itself. ;-)

    A deist believes in God.

    Yes. But the actual question explanation refers to "religious people."  Deists aren't considered religious. This post was edited by Harry at March 14, 2017 9:29 AM MDT

    Haha. We need more eights days. ;-) 

    Yes, I know this about you, and you know I far from look at you as some dummy. We have different believes on this subject but it never has been an obstacle or issue. We can respect each other for the values we share. :-)

  • It's not that I believe he a god doesn't exist,  I just have no faith or belief he does exist.

    I do not and cannot believe in any God . 
    No need to anyway. 
    I did for years and found it served no useful purpose for me.
    I can navigate life reasonably well without faith in some supernatural elements.
