Does Intelligence Increase Atheism? by fallguy(m): 8:26pm On Dec 18, 2012 |
I'm thinking here of some renowned intellectuals and thought/idea workers. I'm thinking that the more one grows in intelligence the harder it is 4 him to see God much like the more alcohol a person takes the harder it 4 him walk straight. Notable achiever atheists/agnostics: bertrand Russell Alan turing - turing completeness Einstein - a fabricated God bill gates don ho - notepad++ creator damien katz - couchdb Linus torvalds - Linux fame Richard stallman - emacs , free software foundation john neuman - agnostic most of life converted in later life. Many(if not most) Nobel laureates and fields medalists. Most popular/notable programmers. |

Atheism doesnt increase intelligence but intelligence has a positive correlation with atheism. You are more likely to be educated or of higher intelligence if you are an atheist/non-religious/agnostic. Studies have shown this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2111174/Intelligent-people-less-likely-to-believe-in-God.html http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?q=atheism+and+intelligence&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ei=tO3RUNL2H4nbtAaA5YDoCg&ved=0CDMQgQMwAA |

very funny, of course no. i shit literarily on all unbelievers anytime I'm privileged to write a test or be in the same class. most of the 'renowned' atheists got their success foundations from Christian values, have christian names, and were raised in 'Christian' homes. |

Image123: Now this is tough. Logicboy has pointed out that there is clear statistical evidence that atheism is positively correlated with higher intelligence and higher education. But then, you've said that you're so much smarter that all atheists and you like to defecate on them. You can't possibly be lying, or a self deluded, blowhard with fantasies of having a brain. One of you must be right, but who? I guess I believe your anecdotal claim over real evidence. After all, everybody knows that the words of random internet braggarts are the highest form of proof. |

Evil Brain:suit yourself, I'm sure it (google and dailymail) helps your confidence since you probably never topped your class. |
Re: Does Intelligence Increase Atheism? by Nobody: 3:09am On Dec 20, 2012 |
Image123: Google scholar and telegraph. You cant ven get the details right and you are here claiming intelligence. You keep proving atheists right |
Re: Does Intelligence Increase Atheism? by Image123(m): 3:29am On Dec 20, 2012 |
Logicboy03:don't beat yourself, they're both news vendors. Spotting the names of newspapers is now a proof to intelligence? |
Re: Does Intelligence Increase Atheism? by Nobody: 3:32am On Dec 20, 2012 |
Image123: Telegraph has integrity, daily mail doesnt. Anyways. You embarrassed yourself on this thread |

Uyi Iredia: There are many more intelligent people who are positively Christian. Positively christian? that's an interesting mix of words. There must be those that are negatively christian as well. |
Re: Does Intelligence Increase Atheism? by plaetton: 5:36am On Dec 20, 2012 |
Image123: And what is a success foundation? And what are christian values? hhmm. Let me think about this. Ok. I get it! I guess if one comes from a christian home, with christian names and grows up with christian values(you mean christian hypocrisies), but later in life decides to poo on, and jettison all that crap, then one can be said to have possesed christian success foundation. Very interesting revelation. So true success foundation comes from pooing on ones christian values. 1 Like |

Re: Does Intelligence Increase Atheism? by manmustwac(m): 9:52am On Dec 20, 2012 |
I don't think that intelligence has anything to do with atheism. I believe its boils down to how open minded the individual is. 2 Likes |
