mhx america is far more religious than northwestern europe.
and also I just read like a week ago that norway is the least religious developed country in the world. hooray for us. =]
I really wish people would stop with the moronic generalizations though. there are plenty really smart christians and plenty really happy atheists. in fact im happier than everyone in the entire world.

Lisa Simpson made that happiness/intelligent chart the more intelligent you are the less happy your are. It has some truth to it if you think about it. Ignorant people are often the happiess they live in their bubble like a child.

it does have some truth to it but only "on average". but I know plenty miserable idiots and plenty brilliant happy people. and plenty miserable brilliants and plenty joyful idiots.
im able to decide to be happy and then be happy though. dunno whats so hard about it.

no, im an atheist, and also i have a hard time trusting people that are "too" religious
|
gJ to norway yes!
and yes ofcourse it's a moronic generalization to say all christians are stupid. But honestly, its much easier getting along with someone with the same opinion in such big questions as "is there a god".

Yeah I see what you mean, I have harder time trusting someone saying god forgives everything.

I believe in me and all my abilities and limits. God won't help you so who cares if he exists. We are far too stupid at this point to explain existance or the infinite universe. God would be an easy way out to explain a lot and also probably the only way out that can be found satisfying. No matter what you say it's impossible to say that God exists, because there is no proof that our rationality would accept as solid proof. If you all believe in me you can at least be certain im real so all your devotion to me will not be in vain. Also will I reward everyone that devotes his life to me 40 virgins in heaven or if you are white and shaved I will reward you with wings in my celestial temple and you are allowed to wander in my castle and if you are lucky talk to my son.
The Bible is very real and also a lie.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

First part is true, second part is pure bull? Bible contains a lot of good morals, but of course that depends on how you interpret it
God can be used for any purpose, sort of :F

I believe in God.
In fact, I dare say, I am one of the most religious people here, as I am a practising Orthodox Jew.

To God that means no. I became a Christian just alittle while ago, and I have to say, It's great. It gives you hope for everything, and plus you go to church and meet all these great people.

It's not bull. The morals in the bible are standard to civilisation, but more over most of the happenings described in the bible actually took place in a way. Meaning 'scientists' (probably christians) claim to have found traces of things like the Jew's leaving Egypt, the Arch of Noah, Babylon, Jesus and whatsoever. It's just the way they are described in the bible aren't really objective and can be interpreted in many ways. Also is it unclear what is real and what isn't in the Bible etc etc. Doesn't really matter anyway.
Religion should be kept to yourself if you ask me. Sure you can talk about it to friends but I hate persuasion and more over public persuasion. Like in Egypt for example it's impossible not to see the influence of Islam and that sickens me. Especially if you consider women are getting stoned to death for sleeping with another man and women getting circumsized completely all for religion that just happens to be extremely convienent for men to keep power.
Also religion can be brainwashing and cause people to be extremely biased towards everything not allowing them to be objective at all. Everything is either wrong or good according to their own believe and it makes them blind to other opinions and reasoning.
Other than that religion can be very positive as well;)

If Passion of the Christ didn't raise questions about Christianity
Then watch the Omen so it'll scare the shi7 out of you into being Christian.

if there isnt a God, then when did time started??

Time is an illusion! There was no start nor end. The 4th dimension is an utmost interpretation of underlying phsyics based on our assumptions, not the "truth" from God!
(No it doesn't make sense, can't freaking word it right at the moment, but I hope you get the point in some irrational or illogical manner that may take you a 1 hour to realize or 2 seconds to realize the sheer stupidity of this and I just made you waste your time reading; time being trajectory only to the perception of an individual, hah.) rofl nvm, that was retarded :X
