Are Religious people Stupid? (Page 9)

bonzono: "bonzono that's a great example of cognitive dissonance."

suggest you find out the meaning of this expression before you use it again.

you can also show your god is more than pure imagination.

good luck with that.

bonzono: I dunno about anyone else, I hide myself because of unhinged fruitloop nutjobs on the internet and what I've seen them to do people.


By all means, be a fruitloop nutjob, but be one away from me.

ParalaxMan: Stalkers, hackers, crack-jobs, lonely sad sacks with no purpose to their existsnce, whacko creationists and beautiful women. I’m hiding from them all.

ParallaxMan: It could be true that intellect varies by geography, but I doubt faith has any bearing other than culturally, There is however a huge disparity of intellect between women and men.

sb4fun: As a scientist, a highly educated individual, and a religious person I don't believe religious people are stupid. But i do believe they are easily swayed and led by charismatic individuals who brainwash them. Just like Trump has done to the majority of his followers who are undereducated. Amen/

TheloniousSphereMonk: Interesting.

GeraldtheGnome: Mistakes were made on here. None of us are perfect, we all have made mistakes.

There is no need for a comma before the word and at all.

Tickets please ! Oh, they are on someone. Apart from the rest of a message, that I saw on here that was about religion, I am never pleased to see someone bragging on here about himself and the last one of them could have found a better suited word to use also. Oh and it's just a full stop after Amen as well.



Some religious people are stupid and so are some people who are not religious.

GeraldtheGnome: I still think this should have been a religious forum.

bonzono: sb = "As a scientist, a highly educated individual, and a religious person I don't believe religious people are stupid"

When you can show me that your god is more than a simple, poorly-rationalised hypothesis, and forms a logical conclusion based on testable evidence, then you can claim to be a scientist.

Caesar2023: No Liberals are

TheloniousSphereMonk: Did you know that most liberals are religious?

Caesar2023: Not in Canada more leftwing here and hate God.

GeraldtheGnome: If you used the term Liberals in Australia then you will find that Liberals here are the direct opposite of being left winged. I’ll explain, the Liberals are those of the political party named The Liberal Party and that the supporters of them are Liberal voters. Controversially before the controversial decisions of the current far left winged Labor Government that is now in Parliament who wants people divided by race and give special treatment by race, sexuality and gender, as do certain bosses, staff and players of different type of sports, there was the unfortunate case where the now former leader of the country was wanting to give special treatment to religious people.

I’m personally not for everything that the most radical of the queer community want, the problem though is that the now former leader of the country wanted to bring in a law where religious people, including fake creationists and creationists could discriminate against others but not be discriminated against. It was named the religious discrimination act and fortunately it was never successfully brought in. Also at that time was the very vocal publicly and very present publicly on Twitter sport star named Israel Folau. Look him up. He’s like the ‘Polly Boy’ version of Blackshoes/Bob. He made speeches at his church and made Tweets about fornicators, thieves, liars, queers, isolators and whoever else he had on his list are going to go to Hell if they don’t repent and worship God and Jesus. Personally if someone wants to worship those imaginary gods then it’s their foolish decision but to go against all those on that list of his and tell them if they don’t do all that I just told you is disgusting. Sure enough though since the far left media makes up most of the media they only emphasized his bigotry against the queer community. Yes, part of it was homophobic and that’s bad enough but the rest was just as bad.

Anyway meanwhile on Sky News here, which can be like Fox News in The United States of America, you had the likes of the extremely Roman Catholic Andrew Bolt and some others who supported Israel Folau, the religious discrimination act, the banning of queer students at a religious school here in Brisbane, Queensland Australia and Cardinal Pell who unfairly was released from jail. He did things to little boys and was the third highest ranking member of Roman Catholicism, he was even the Treasurer at Vatican City, the centre of the Roman Catholic dictatorship. Anyway as per usual each past Pope and even the present Pope never brought it up in the past. Even now the current Pope just pretends that it’s not an issue, he’s a supporter of creeps. My Mum has a joke song about the Pope, a part of it is about a rope for the Pope. Anyway back to the former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, apart from his bizarre religious way of thinking he also had a partial soft spot for the us and them way of thinking about racial special treatment when he made the (already at the time crappy) national anthem by replacing the silly use of the word young with one.

The line was just complete nonsense anyway, it went from the words, for we are young and free to the words for we are one and free. He thought that the word young was offensive to those considered to be ‘indigenous’ to Australians, most of which have mainly white blood in them, damn political correctness. You get free healthcare if you even have or are claimed to have (as in my Uncle, two cousins and two blonde, blue eyed cousins who are all white skinned and I don’t believe they even have partially ‘indigenous’ blood in them). People have been divided by race, religion, politics, gender and sexuality throughout the time that this country has been around, now it is in the direct opposite than it used to be.

Scott Morrison I think was the stupid one who brought in a stupid statement related to Ayers Rock that allowed the opportunity to hold a referendum on if special treatment by race should be allowed, now the new Labor leader who beat him is forcing it by wasting money on a referendum about it. The former and current Prime Ministers are big on the latest possible military equipment being available in this country. My country and everyone else who lives here is Australia, not the part of Northside Brisbane that I live in, the people of Brisbane are Brisbanites, I don’t need to make some bloody statement to acknowledge a small amount of people alive in my area that are of a race that are either mainly white or are full blooded members of their traditional group who had ancestors here before any white man came here. They are my equals, not people who I should give special treatment to.

Due to the isolation of this country some unique scientific breakthroughs have been made.

bonzono: "Did you know that most liberals are religious? "
citation needed.

TheloniousSphereMonk: Sorry, hasty wording on my part.... I meant to say most people that vote for the party that is commonly perceived as the liberal choice are religious. For example, that party is commonly thought of as the Dems in America and most of the people that vote Dem are religious, even if only nominally so.

bonzono: "most of the people that vote Dem are religious"

I assume you mean that 'most religious americans vote for democrats'.

which is very different to the original claim - but even that is fraudulent since most americans are religious anyhow - and the current president won the popular vote.

What you need to show is that atheists tend NOT to vote for the left, and I dont think you can show that - but perhaps you can .

TheloniousSphereMonk: Most of biden's (who was seen publicly as the liberal choice) votes came from people who are religious.

bonzono: "Most of biden's (who was seen publicly as the liberal choice) votes came from people who are religious. "

yes, because most americans are religious.

TheloniousSphereMonk: Yeah

bonzono: so that's a selection effect..
you can truthfully say that most atheists also voted for biden.

that's not the same as supposing that religious people are more likely than atheists to vote for biden.

TheloniousSphereMonk: Sounds likely.

doggy2167: yes

txkreddog: It all comes down to the same question, doesn't it? Where did God come from? How did something come from nothing? The creation is beyond all human understanding. btw, most religious voters in the US vote conservative.
