What makes atheists think their wiser than everyone else?

[sith123]

prompted by an earlier question.

[sith123]

lol, nice one ;)

[tiggerblue10]

Who is being picky now?

[RATTER15]

Reading many of the these religious questions, I think the atheists have proved many times that they know more about your religion than you do!

[sith123]

what about spelling ;) were equal on that aren't we?

//I think the atheists have proved many times that they know more about your religion than you do//

yet they keep coming back to answer religious threads. If you're that certain in what you believe, than why? You know more about my religion? like what the media tells you and atheist websites probably.

i can name many famous religious people if you want.

[sith123]

look at all these scientists who believed in god. surely according to you science and religion cannot go together?

Couldn't help but notice that most of the people in your list lived lived a few hundred years ago. And Einstein had the following to say:

"I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature."

Hardly your typical blind faith religionist.

LOL @ maggie.

There is a difference between religion and spirituality. Theravada Buddhists are atheists. Science is capable of being spiritual see for instance: http://newempiricism....1/nature-of-soul.html

Sith, don't confuse wisdom with knowledge or intelligence. They are probably wiser than the average prophet however.
Keyplus, what wisdom you show.:-)

[Infomaniac]

It has never been proved that atheists think they are (or "they're" not "their") wiser than anyone else so the question starts off on a false premise.

[jomifl]

Info, nothing wrong with a false assumption to start off an entertaining thread, I can't think why Sith assumes that atheists think that they'r/their wiser than 'normal' people. I thought that atheists were normal, but perhaps they are not normal and are indeed wiser after all.

[sith123]

im merely saying what so many atheists have said to me. That their wiser than religious people.

so apparently you can be atheist and clever, but not religious and clever?

[sith123]

//Arrogance.//

keyplus, i am starting to think that that is definitively the case ;) i agree with you completely.

[cathfromsaron]

didn't know they did, and what makes religious people think the reverse, is my reply!

[sith123]

i do not think the reverse, my point is that you cannot say you are wiser because you are atheist and dismiss any religious person as not wise because they believe in god.

[jomifl]

Sith, run that past me again...So many atheist have said they'r/their wiser than religious people? Do me a favour sunshine, that is a porky and no mistake.
