Atheists & Agnostics
In reply to the discussion: Are religious people pretty stupid? [View all]Mr.Bill
(24,906 posts)are not intelligent. I think of them as people that need to have the answer to a very big question or they are not comfortable. When they ask me as an Atheist, "Okay, if there is no God, then how did we get here, who created the universe, blah,blah, blah." My answer is, first of all, I'm not saying there is no god. I'm saying that you have all these tidy answers to all the difficult unknowns of life. I don't know who or what created the universe, and neither does the Pope, the Pastor of your church, the Televangelists you send money to, or you. The difference is I am content with not knowing the answers to these questions, and you demand one and look to the people who say they have the answers.
I also like to tell them if Atheists ever take over the goverment, we promise to not make it say "There is no God" on all the money. Nor will we ask every one to sing "God Damn America" after the seventh inning of a baseball game.
