Ok, my philosophy tutor presented me with the example of impending doom. Imagine if you will that you have a man of faith (most likely an optimist) and a man without faith (most certainly a cynic or pessimist). The optimist is less likely to do anything about a situation but the pessimist's increased amount of critical thought means that they're more likely to consider a way out, because they don't believe anyone can help them other than themselves. There's my argument.
@wildvenisson Hm. Not entirely accurate I suppose. Too pessimistic might see a way out and then think it's not a way out after all and they're doomed to fail anyway so what's the point. :P
@FrisianDude That's like saying what's the point in pulling a reserve shoot after your original parachute failed. Yes it could fail just as the first did, but the possibility hardly justifies the suggestion that it might be pointless to try in case it fails. If you're in a no win scenario, you can't sink further, just faster. :P
Don't eat any shrimp, clams, oysters, meat with cheese, ham, Don't plant various crops in your garden just 1 kind. Don't wear mixed blend fabric. Don't work on sabbath. Don't touch mensturating women. How many god given laws Don't you obey?

Everything is made up of living/moving particles of energy. It is all from an omnipotent being who holds the very fiber of mass together with its very thought. Some call this energy higgs boson, I think it is God revealing that he knew science all along. Just wait until they try to explain what the particle, that is the universe, says back.

The AP, using data supplied by the US Census Bureau, found that the highest divorce rates are to be found in the Bible Belt. The conservative states are roughly 50 percent above the national average of 4.2 per thousand people.
The bible belt also has the highest rate of spousal abuse, child abuse, teen pregnancy and illiteracy. Apparently their belief in their god and his magic book of stories doesn't make them less violent, less ignorant or less miserable in their marriages. Hmmmm
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No facepalm here. Strange how when atheists use a load of crooked numbers to assert their superiority everything is okay. But when someone suggest another contra indicative fact suddenly it becaomes a .................facepalm?
@hdregmore the facepalm is not only for the false "fact" she says,which if you actually look at the stats is actually UNTRUE. but for the superpower thing she says, if you actually agree with the superpower thing you are in denial and slightly insane.
there is no denial, she is just wrong, maybe you should look at the stats, but lets be honest, you wont, you just like thinking you are correct and pesky facts wont get in the way of that.
@hdregmore All of the countries highlighted as "high atheist ratio per capita" have exorbitantly longer life spans. This is quite comical considering the countries who are the least religious seem to be the most generous and socialist; thus, they provide government-funded health care. It is strange how the more religiously apt countries such as the United States, are capitalist, self-serving buffoons who are doing the complete opposite of what religious doctrines teach.
@thomas7797 All you have done is prove that statistical information can be interpreted in many different ways depending on infringing factors which can be included or excluded. Therefore with clever (or in this case dumb) manipulation any preconceived outcome can be justified.

I have heard before that religious people supposedly live longer, Doesn't really prove anything and I don't think she's suggesting that it does but she could have worded it better.
I don't think that the claim is all that outrageous or cringe-worthy. However, it also does nothing to further any case that we should believe in supernatural nonsense. In the US, white, male physicians are considered to be high-risk for suicide. That datum does nothing to further any case for not being white, a dude, a doctor or any combination of the three.
@IAmMrWonder I became an atheist by thinking for myself, like most atheists, all of whom I have found to be intelligent, I am happy to report. I was a lonely atheist and thought the whole world insane (I remain correct) before I learned of other atheists. Atheism has taught me skepticism and to resist authority but respect knowledge. Nothing good can become of guiding one's life based on silly lies, false promises, and superstition.
@IAmMrWonder Don't the good die young? The real pompous asses appear every Sunday on television to tell us what to believe, despite lacking evidence for their claims--that's arrogance! As for your fatuous comment regarding painful deaths, Christianity did Jesus little good, who died a painful death, I am told. The Jesus character represents the archetypal arrogant ass and pompous slob, a Mr Knowitall tribal savage who tells others how to live.

But maybe I should say something about this, Yale Medical School did research on the topic of hope, I think if was in 2003 or something that should people who had no "hope" always died first. So I think that's the right word here not supernatural but rather hope and we know that Atheist like others have hope. Simple...
The study of survivors was misrepresented. What "helped" them was the love of something usually family, some times "god". We didn't hear from the non survivors. so the study does have some inherent weakness.
So let me see if I'm hearing this right.. If I believe in a high power and I'm in some sort of crisis, I HAVE to believe that I have.. supernatural abilitys? Wtf? Where did she get that from? Of course science doesn't have all the answers. Sadly, faith has 0, Zip, NADA. Thats why its FAITH in a higher power. DERP. So what this woman thinks is that faith will save our lives in a crisis. Great.

She's grasping at straws. She said two truths. Educated people shun religion (and god(s)).
Also, most conflicts in the world involve religion. Rational thinking (atheism) is the fastest growing 'group' in western nations with the possible exception of the USA. They are deeply infected with the religion/god virus but with education it may start to die there too as it has in Europe and Canada. Religion is the most dangerous fiction ever invented.
@theUKatheist Did you delete the conversation? If so, I don't blame you at all. One can only conclude that some anti-rational faith bunny thinks nothing of perpetrating fraud. Thank you for blocking the idiot, whoever s/he is.
@dan91709 yes i did delete the conversation and block him/her, i dont like censorship but when they pretend to be me thats going over the line. s/he did it on several other videos as well blatantly pretending to be me. its an all new low for theists.
@theUKatheist I don't think it's censorship. Its only reasonable to remove an impostor's comments. I'm not sure its a new low. I've noticed that many theists think nothing of the evil that they do. Violence perpetrated by hateful christians is common - and fraud even more so. A perfect example is the statement from the christian on the above video you posted. She said "Most studies show that Atheists die first." (in plane crashes?) There are no such studies. The statement is fraudulent. :-/
@theUKatheist pardon the pun- but jesus christ!! just when you think they cant get any worse they manage it! yes talk about a new low and a pathetically desperate one at that! shame on me for not noticing! but it all did seem a bit out of place-didnt sound like you at all! thank you for fixing that up!
@theUKatheist I have a theory- they know that relgion is slowly dying in society-if you look at the the first thing he said to me-'she is correct on the stats'-completely untrue as my family history demonstrated-and then-as offered an opinion deliberatly wanting me to believe it was you with hope that I may be influenced to think the same way- theists are resorting to deliberate decption and misinformation to save dying religions
NOTE: anyone speaking to "theUKathiest" please not it is an imposter .. notice the i & e are the wrong way around. i have now blocked this user ( their account was created this month ) which now does not show at all.
to clarify , it may not have been me who you were speaking too, some theists are sinking to a new low.
Yep...we atheists just say "ahhh... fuck it"... no, rather we would be thinking of logical ways to help ourselves out of situations, not sitting in one spot whispering to yourself and hoping for help...makes perfect sense
One more tick on my scoresheet in the category of "psychology is not a real science." The psychologists doing real science better pick up the pace, or they'll lose to word leaking cavernous enclosures like this one.
oh my god, what an idiot, everybody dies at the same rate, regardless of what god you do or dont believe in, I think she';s super naturally stupid in the head.
Perhaps the reason that more atheistic countries have a longer life expectancy is that atheists tend to be better educated, and can afford better health care. It has nothing to do with actual belief itself, just the standard of living and health care in a country. My grandmother was extremely religious, and died after a very long and painful battle with cancer at 60.
Atheists die first because after having listened to this heehaw from the jackass with a human looking head, we want to kiss a pistol goodnight. Anyway, this story sounds a lot more real than the talking jackass in Numbers. AAAaawwwgh! People! Wake up! Jackasses that talk like humans? NOT real. Humans who talk like Jackasses? VERY REAL! (beware)
@TheGreatestSage Fucking troll. I'll give you a little of the attention you lack in real life. "I'm not religious, but..." Only a hypocritical twat puts a 'but' on that first statement. Are you telling me, if you caughts AIDS, from butt sex with your father, you would pray instead of going to the doctor? No. You would give your dad the bad news, head straight for the clinic and hope no one finds out your dirty little secret. Now, STFU!
@IAmMrWonder -What are you talking about. Atheists say they do not know how the universe or life came into being and that is why we built the large Hadron Collider and Hadron 2 to answer some of these questions. It is you religious people that not only claim to have some knowledge beyond our understanding but actually say if we do not agree with you we will spend eternity burning in fire. "Infinite voice of truth", would this be the voice you can hear but we can't? How fucking arrogant are YOU!

@TheGreatestSage for love to unite the world you would need the brain chemistry of every person in the world to be altered the same way at the same time. is the world united now? no... will it ever be? unlikely...

I live in Japan. 65-70% atheist. 5th highest atheist population percentage in the world. Contrary to this bright young woman's presentation: the Japanese enjoy the world's longest average life expectancy. Hmm..
A strange psychologist she who is unaware of well-known psychological studies. Here is one I just grabbed off Google among many: "Jul 15, 2005 – Praying for patients undergoing heart operations does not improve their outcomes, a US study suggests."
@pandstar we are at number 20 but the atheist vs life expectancy scale actually works out. the more atheistic the country the better life expectancy, better health and lesser crime rate.
@pandstar She is actually referring to survivors, not life expectancy. It is true that if one person expects to be rescued by a supernatural power, they'd be less stressed and would be more likely to survive. Seeing as how an atheist would be stressing about how to save himself.
1 - when in a crisis atheists can have hope, which would do the same job as "believing a higher power will magically save them" we just cut out the nonsense and hope for help.
2 - you are suggesting that we do not value our lives, we beleive we get one shot, thre is no higher power, we will fight to survive in a crisis, trust me, theists have no advantage there.
3 - we dont waste time praying, we think and act to get out of the situation.
@theUKatheist Actually no, i'm not. In a life and death situation a theist would be more relaxed as they think God will be doing some of the work, where as an atheist would be stressing. This is what she's referring to, the likelihood of survival. An atheist may think about survival techniques more so i'm not too sure what her position is on that. "you are suggesting that we do not value our lives"
There is actually no suggestions in the comment. I know i give my own life purpose.
so basically it makes no difference if you are an atheist or theist in a dangerous situation , both would fear for their lives, but atheists would try and help the situation not just pray for help. you seem to think that praying is better than dealing with the situation? really?
atheists can hope, theists can pray.
atheists will not waste time praying, theists will.
atheists will not expect magical help, theists will.
@theUKatheist "you think that is a good thing? hmmm"
"are you seriously suggesting thinking god would help is better? of course not."
You seem to have based most of your reply on false assumptions. I'm not a theist trying to glorify this woman's words, i'm an atheist simply here to reiterate her contention. She means a theist would be less stressed meaning they could think more clearly at the time. Argue this all you like, i'm not interested.
@examinationboard said "She means a theist would be less stressed meaning they could think more clearly at the time."
There's eustress and distress. Or good and bad stress. “It is how people respond to stress that determines whether they will profit from misfortune or be miserable.” – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
"Good stress can actually inspire a person to achieve a goal, become more confident or stronger physically…if it is approached in a sensible manner." -healthreviser com
She is taking a 1995 study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, out of context, and the basic math she uses for her conclusion is also wrong.
If we still allow her to take the study out of context, but corrected the math, there is no statistical difference between those of faith and of no faith.
She's funny.

US religiosity: other 2.5%, unaffiliated 12.1%, none 4% Rest therefore some (other) form of religion.
2) Dutch life expectancy: total population: 80.91 years
US life expec: total pop: 78.49 years

She's grasping at straws. She said two truths. Educated people shun religion (and god(s)).
Also, most conflicts in the world involve religion. Rational thinking (atheism) is the fastest growing 'group' in western nations with the possible exception of the USA. They are deeply infected with the religion/god virus but with education it may start to die there too as it has in Europe and Canada. Religion is the most dangerous fiction ever invented.

@theUKatheist I don't think it's censorship. Its only reasonable to remove an impostor's comments. I'm not sure its a new low. I've noticed that many theists think nothing of the evil that they do. Violence perpetrated by hateful christians is common - and fraud even more so. A perfect example is the statement from the christian on the above video you posted. She said "Most studies show that Atheists die first." (in plane crashes?) There are no such studies. The statement is fraudulent. :-/

Perhaps the reason that more atheistic countries have a longer life expectancy is that atheists tend to be better educated, and can afford better health care. It has nothing to do with actual belief itself, just the standard of living and health care in a country. My grandmother was extremely religious, and died after a very long and painful battle with cancer at 60.

It is you religious people that not only claim to have some knowledge beyond our understanding but actually say if we do not agree with you we will spend eternity burning in fire.

@pandstar She is actually referring to survivors, not life expectancy. It is true that if one person expects to be rescued by a supernatural power, they'd be less stressed and would be more likely to survive. Seeing as how an atheist would be stressing about how to save himself.
examinationboard 2 months ago
@examinationboard you are confused
1 - when in a crisis atheists can have hope, which would do the same job as "believing a higher power will magically save them" we just cut out the nonsense and hope for help.
2 - you are suggesting that we do not value our lives, we beleive we get one shot, thre is no higher power, we will fight to survive in a crisis, trust me, theists have no advantage there.
3 - we dont waste time praying, we think and act to get out of the situation.
fail for theists.
theUKatheist 2 months ago in playlist Uploaded videos
@theUKatheist Actually no, i'm not. In a life and death situation a theist would be more relaxed as they think God will be doing some of the work, where as an atheist would be stressing. This is what she's referring to, the likelihood of survival. An atheist may think about survival techniques more so i'm not too sure what her position is on that. "you are suggesting that we do not value our lives"
There is actually no suggestions in the comment. I know i give my own life purpose.

1- thinking/stressing on a way out of the situation
2- thinking god will help?
are you seriously suggesting thinking god would help is better? of course not.
3 - it seems you are suggesting that a theist would not stress? they fear they haven't been "good" so fear death
theUKatheist 2 months ago
@theUKatheist continued
so basically it makes no difference if you are an atheist or theist in a dangerous situation , both would fear for their lives, but atheists would try and help the situation not just pray for help. you seem to think that praying is better than dealing with the situation? really?
atheists can hope, theists can pray.
atheists will not waste time praying, theists will.
atheists will not expect magical help, theists will.
id be happier with an atheist in that situation.
