bazwillrun

at least their arguments on the whole tend to be based on logic, rationale and scientific values rather than purely on "faith" based around nothing but lies and scaremongering

Im an Atheist, I certainly don't think I'm wiser than anybody else but also I am not stupid enough to fall for silly fairy stories! So that does make a little wiser in that instance!

is it only atheists who believe this though? why do they believe that they are the only ones who know this?

What do mean by "normal people"? Are atheists abnormal?

I'm Atheist but I don't think I'm any wiser than the next person. Anyway, I believe wisdom comes with age.

So what Atheist actually claims to be wiser than everybody else?

GrumpyolGit

Probably think they're capable of better spelling for a start :)

Sith, Im here every day, I just choose to ignore some of the religious threads, Naomi and a few others do a far better job than I ever could. I just read them and watch you and keyplus make fools of yourselves.

Im not so wise as some! :)

this is what ratter said on the other thread:

>>>By wise you surely mean atheists<<< yes, probably, who else?

//We are the ones that didn't fall for the claptrap in the fist place or have seen the foolishness of it and turned away.//
