Hmm, considering that being truthful about your IQ isn't considered acceptable, maybe I should go up to, I don't know, 1337?

Atheists=Trolls

Go ahead, try to argue. I'm pretty sure these experiments were conducted by atheists, therefore biased.

Unless you convert to Christianity, have fun burning in hell.

Or in the words of Dane Cook, getting reborn as a tree and being turned into a Bible.

Trolls.

@NeodymiumTiger "Atheists=Trolls" Wrong atheist = folks who don't believe in magic men in the sky.

If you had any comprehension skills you would have seen and heard that several of these studies were done by fundamentalist christian researchers and they got the same results.

Your threat is called an argumentum ad baculum, a fallacy. It proves what you are selling is a lie. The truth needs no threats to get people to believe it.

Do you have any proof of your never never land in the sky?

[NeodymiumTiger]

I don't see how these studies explain anything. I have an IQ of 150 and I'm an EXTREMELY faithful Christian believer.

@NeodymiumTiger Sure you do. If you did you would know about statistics and averages. Further proof your IQ is not what you claim is you have fallen for the death cult of christianity and at 44 you have not figured it is just the last great invention of the pagan world.

@Hanahleia Thanks for the heads up on McKenna. You are aware that this gentleman was not a religionist don't you? BTW if you have not noticed, I am not an atheist, but don't agree that it is a red herring. Every one is born an atheist. Only through indoctrination does mankind believe in magic men in the sky, hell and heaven.

@cockadoodlecrackers Had Newton not claimed to believe in a magic man in the sky he would have been burned at the stake. Claims of his religiosity are just that claims. We don't know what he really believed regarding religion. How many million of folks today claim to be christians just to fit in and not cause waves. It was worse then. But if you need someone to throw against the findings of research, go ahead.

@NeodymiumTiger - Having a brain is like having a powerful sports car. You can really mess it up if you misuse it.

@Brascofarian I believe they would fall under the "and a host of other rationalists" portion of my comment to Hanahleia. I am not an atheist, so I am not in the atheist click here on Youtube. Only one of the names you and I listed sub to my channel. I am an outcast.

I have always marched to the beat of a different drummer and am way too old to kiss their @sses or claim to be that which I am not to get their approval. I hold no grudges, I sub to them all and promote several on my channel.

@Netwriter wow... leaving out QualiaSoup, TheraminTrees, Potholer54 and PhilHellenes could be grounds for having your license to practice atheism revoked... :P (factsvsreligion huh? Ok... :/ )

@NeodymiumTiger And yet you still don't understand statistics.

[Brascofarian]

@NeodymiumTiger tsk, IQ of 150 is not high on teh internets... troll harder.

[csnowutube]

@NeodymiumTiger Do you hate your life?

[kram83au]

@NeodymiumTiger indoctronation is a terrible blight on our society, hope your thinking skills lead to further inquirey. though to say your an extremley faithful christian believer, i can only conclude the god glassess are fused upon your face. shame really.
