[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is it ok to say believers are stupid is it ok to say atheists are stupid?

Well, no.  In the couple of posts prior, there is evidence for the "stupidity" of believers.

The atheists have demonstrated the opposite, intelligence.  [/quote]

Some believers are quite intelligent, though it doesn't show through in their belief in God.   Also, some atheists are not so smart, except regarding their lack of belief in God.

I am no smarter now that I am an atheist. I am simply better informed.[/quote]

I don’t believe that theists are, in general, stupid.  But many clearly have to retreat to illogical positions to support their theological ones.[/quote]

I believe that anyone who insists the flying spaghetti monster lives under my bed is less rational than me. They're making a claim they can't back up with reason or evidence. There's no reason to hold to the belief, and yet they do it anyway.

To me, irrational = illogical = stupid. [/quote]

There may be no good reason to hold to belief in God, except it becomes acceptable when so many people do it.  And the promise of eternal life is great!

Some non-believers respect believers' right to hold religious views -  even though they've rejected such views for themselves.

Such views are often not held in reverse.   That is, believers often think it's acceptable to try to covert their friends to religion, when they've made it clear that they're not religious.[/quote]

That's a reasonable bone to pick. But the "often" is weird to me but then I don't hold evangelical views.  I would say "some" there too. This may lead to nonbelievers scolding me for being a bad believer, but I don't take the Bible literally either. Some believers don't lol.

I cannot imagine trying to convert anybody, especially when they have said they aren't religious. When they do that, I am vey careful to say I am thinking of then and hope they heal when they are injured or sick, never that I offer "thoughts and prayers."[/quote]
