    Makes sense as we are all born Atheists.

    IF that were the case (and clearly it is not), they would retain their atheist belief in which they were reared. But since only 30% of them do, according to the survey presented, atheists aren't remotely as *intelligent* as they proclaim, loudly, repeatedly, obnoxiously.

    And yes, atheists are profoundly anti-theist as evidenced by their pettiness, their hatefulness, and their obsession with The Flying Spaghetti Monster and similar intolerant references, coming out of their "but" (sic).


    Not to mention the OP doesn't make any sense.
    It does to everyone reading it except you. Obviously you are an atheist, and you take great fun in invoking The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

    Thirty percent. FAIL.

    You really need to come up with better arguments than mere name-calling and mockery, Starman. You're just doing what the ordinary atheist does. Fail.

    Like any other group, some are, some are not.

    I am not sure you realize what you just said. You are clearly suggesting the 30% who do NOT become religionists are the more intelligent and rational people. I would be inclined to agree with that.

    And yes, atheists are profoundly anti-theist as evidenced by their pettiness, their hatefulness, and their obsession with The Flying Spaghetti Monster and similar intolerant references, coming out of their "but" (sic).
    That is not even worthy of comment.

    NO, I said exactly the opposite, and your rhetorical attempt is on a par with atheist/leftist rhetoric.

    IF they're so brilliant, so rational, YOU explain why 70% of them do NOT remain atheists.

    Their/your intellectualism is claimed, widely, loudly, condescendingly. It is not supported by their conduct, nor their allegiance to this great and wonderful (they/you claim) belief, overwhelmingly abandoned.

    No, you said exactly what I said you did. You may not have understood your own words, but they were quite plain.

    It is as you said. The 70% (if that is an accurate number) who become religionists are not the more intelligent and rational ones. They are the weak.

    I don't have much of a problem with religionists as long as they don't try to force me to embrace their superstitions. I realize that most people need some kind of an anchor, a refuge to help them get through the night. If their religion serves that purpose and harms no one else in the process, why would I have a problem with it? You however, seem to have a rather serious problem with people who do not subscribe to the same belief system you do.

    Who is more tolerant?

    Again, you do the same thing you claim atheists do. Are you an atheist?

    Polls about religion in America are all misleading to the point of uselessness. The majority of Americans, as an example, will identify as "Christians", but that identification is no more (in many cases, probably less) pertinent to their lives than where their ancestors came from or what their grandfathers did for a living. It's a cultural tag - nothing more. If they have any real knowledge at all about the religious faith they ostensibly adhere to, it's on a primary school level, and it affects their lives, attitudes and behaviors not in the slightest.
    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.” - Robert E. Howard

    "Only a rank degenerate would drive 1,500 miles across Texas and not eat a chicken fried steak." - Larry McMurtry

    1. I don't proclaim myself to be smarter than atheists. It is atheists who SCREAM CONSTANTLY that they are brilliant, rational, and Christians are ignorant, stupid, and anti-science. You never get things right, do you?

    2. My group, the Chrisitians, don't have a 70% attrition rate. That would be YOUR group, the atheists. So we DON'T "do the same thing" atheists do. Why do you misrepresent so much? You're like the Fake News.
