Actually it's the truth, if this is what you feel is an important study than you look like an assclown. It's that simple, it's not an ad hominem attack that's how you will be viewed by the majority of people.

How are they faulty again? It sounds like you have no argument and just squirming to find any sort of defense. Remember, none of this is saying that no religious person can be smarter than another non-religious one.

This study like many others can easily be rigged to put out the kind of data that you want. You keep believing it, I'm sure you've done 0% fact checking.



Nice try.

I would say this too if I had no better rebuttal or substantial way to debate the topic.

You provided us some junk science, congratulations.

It is evidence. Do you read?

I read it jumps to the conclusion that IQ's and Religion are linked, simply because of some poorly designed statistics. You assume that because if this study is even accurate that they are automatically somehow dependent.. This is simply a stupid statistic that in a few years if done by a different group would have different statistics..

This comment is terribly ironic as you have demonstrated your clearly obvious hypocrisy. You ought to consider the context before jumping in and making a mockery of yourself.

Their is no mockery, you posted someone elses "data" , and assumed it's accurate and refuse to accept that it makes your movement look like a bunch of "I am superior", whiners.

It's not a movement - it's truth; Atheists are more often smarter than Theists.

Deal with it.

Atheists* such as yourself tend to buy into any study without an ounce of fact checking or understanding how their is no clear correlation and nothing but an assumption. And in the end it makes you look like a blowhard with a superiority complex.

All your study proves it that countries that are less developed tend to be more religious and less intelligent... America being more religious and more intelligent shows my point to be true.

Alric seems to have this under control already, he can smell a fishy study obviously.

*Atheists - Not all, just ones like yourself who focus on stupid studies.


On a side note - It may be wise to get in touch with your emotional side, you'll find yourself alone but you'll have your numbers.
