You'd agree way more with MM if you wouldn't be so intent on being wrong* all the time.Originally posted by Catholicity View PostDANG IT MM why did you post something I agree with you on!

* I don't actually know which one of you tend to be more right/wrong on the issues you've discussed with each other.

One of my friends from a charismatic church I came from before I moved to Aarhus, went from being a person who read the bible and prayed everyday, to being a secular atheist in the short matter of two years. Surviving college as a Christian is difficult, and I've yet to figure out why. None of the professors at my campus showed any explicit hostility towards religion, except perhaps a passing remark from one professor I had in a solid state chemistry course. I personally have a hunch that ethnocentrism, and living within a close knitted family you never leave, has a lot more to say in making people keep their zeal.Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostComment

I suspect for many it isn't a change of faith as much as a change in culture.Originally posted by Leonhard View Post
For some Christianity is just a cultural norm as easy to change out as the booze you drink based on geographical location.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101Comment

Many fools have also said in their hearts that there is a God and done tremendeous harm to others in the name of their so called god.Originally posted by Mountain Man View Post
Sometimes there is a tendency to want to draw the line between religious people on one side and non-religious or atheists on the other. That is superficial. The line should be drawn between those who reflect on these matters and those who don't. Among those we find quite many who changed their view along the way.
I've got no interest in people sharing my view and going public claiming that my opinion is right if they do not have any foundation for claiming it is right. I'd rather listen to one with whom I disagree if they have reflected.Comment

Even if you are right that will always be impossible to prove since there is no point in which it can be determined that the life was eternal. Just a bad joke on my side...Originally posted by Sparko View PostComment

Or, else, if they did, and if they then were of the opinion that the atheists on the internet were less intelligent, then, perhaps those people behind the study were too smart to assume that all atheists behaved the same way.Originally posted by Sparko View Post
No smart person assumes that if they have met one person, or a group of persons belonging to a specific ideology then everyone else who belongs to this group all over the world would be like them. I can easily find religious people, among them quite many Christians, with whom I suppose you would not like to associated.Comment

Thanks Sparko. I don't really consider myself to be exeptional though. Perhaps some day you too will be able to rise above your own dumb instincts!Originally posted by Sparko View PostComment

deh. Nonbelievers have always outnumbered believers: it's just that these days, the nonbelievers don't go to church so often.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
