Not at all. There are people who have the skills to do well at their intended career before even graduating High School, AND there are people who won't need Higher Education for the career they want: like for those going to the military (There is can HELP but you don't NEED to go necessarily)

And I don't think everybody has the opportunity to go, nor the drive.

I think that Post-High School education is almost needed these days though... in order to get your foot int eh door with most companies...

But it's not for everybody.

? That SO didn't help to refute the statement...

First of all: believing in something for reassurance isn't a question of intelligence more than a question of either how courageous they are, or how self-encouraging.

Second: It's hard to measure intelligence really. It's based too much on how much on many things.

Third: Intelligence however can include the ability to think abstractly Christians certainly are thinking abstractedly if your ides of God not existing are correct, AND emotional intelligence is also a part of it, and religion also has a bit part int he emotional attachment.

Forth: there is such a thing as an idiot atheist... I've met em.

Just sayin.

NAH! XD I think that it's just a joke really. There are some people wh you just happen to disagree with all the time, but I think that debate shouldn't CAUSE enemies: GOOD debate should help to bring two minds together, or even just help both sides understand both issues: seeing things better.

??? <__< Meh.

Although I can see where you're coming from, I actually don't mean it in a way to say I even want them separate:

I'm more stating why the heck they would WANT it period, and giving a way to make it easier 9___9

(If They WANT to get married then fine! Not my issue anyway XD)

But meh. Foot in my mouth on that one.

Everyone is deemed trolled these days: the problem is, sometimes it's understandable as there actually ARE many of them o__o

But not everyone who disagrees, argues, insults, or etc are trolls XD

Nah. I'm too selfish and possessive to share the person I love with someone else. It also tends to cause a lot of drama.

There was also how it used to be only acceptable for MEN to marry several women. It would be better if both sex could marry other people equally...

But in general: No. I personally wouldn't like the idea of sharing someone who should be devoting himself to me.

Nope. Some people deserve to be trolled if they keep feeding them.

They're only a bother when it comes to spamming regular people who realize them for what they are. I personally don't care if you're a troll or not, or if someone is trolling you: just keep it out of my face so I can find what I need >_<

But yeah: if you are weak enough to get trolled: Seeing as people learn from experience, you sorta need to learn how to deal with people who try to get under your skin. Otherwise you can't function in many situations. And Better on the internet than in real life.

Yes, I am evil.

I love myself enough to think that everyone who disturbs my peace with their trifling opinion and even existence should be stomped out and buried in whatever way I see fit.

I enjoy seeing others in a fit of chaos; upset and uppity and bothered by frustration and misunderstanding. Fear as well.

I laugh at the pain of others, especially if I am the one causing it.

If I deem you unworthy by my own standards, you becoming nothing more than a fly to be swatted when I so choose to smite you.

Pity is not my forte.

I don't give a d@#% about your pain, your needs, your history, your suffering as long as my ideals are met. If not you aren't worth thinking of.

Of course; I am evil.

However, I try my best to change it:

I rather be someone 'nice' or 'kind' than cruel and sadistic.

And for the most part, I appear to be :)

But I wonder: is it the actions that count?

Or the thoughts?

I think that answering to stupidity is stupid in itself.

The definition of stupid is:

Characterized by or proceeding from mental dullness; foolish; senseless: a stupid question.

Or

Tediously dull, especially due to lack of meaning or sense; inane; pointless

More on the side of pointless, senseless, and foolish is stooping down to someone's level.

You're basically telling them that they have the power to anger you, which is senseless.

It is pointless because, if you retaliate you don't exactly GAIN anything seeing as the people around you now know about your pettiness and vindictiveness; which is also foolish seeing as you aren't thinking things completely through, like how it is going to effect your image.

That is all.

Yeah: In scripture God does give those he put in power the ability to judge the people <__<: I think Death penalty is included: especially as also in scripture the community was given stoning rights for even petty crimes...

Yup. I think the death penalty is needed sometimes to keep people from doing the crime again, as well as scaring anybody else who gets the same ideas. I think people actually take lightly the crimes they commit because of how prison LOOKS like it's not a big deal, and the punishment sounds rather weak(weaker than it really is of course: as prison actually IS bad: people just don't seem to think so anymore)

Agreed. Otherwise it just shows they are too judgmental of their own members, and therefore hypocritical, as everyone DOES sin and no sin is greater or less than another. (The ideas that they have around sin already perplex me though: I never got how they believed that one can simply be prayed into heaven, or that their sins can just be erased by doing community service XD

But I DO agree that pick-and-mix religions are wrong at the foundation...

If you're going to use the title of a religion you need to commit yourself FULLY to it; the good and the bad. Otherwise it shows that the person is two-faced, and weak. <__< I wonder what arguments I shall get for this one

I am saying that there is a difference between reading the Bible and actually being a Christian:

Christians are SUPPOSED to read the Bible, and keep it: but reading the Bible and keeping it isn't what makes people a Christian.

It's the difference between studying the law and becoming a lawyer, or taking a science class and actually being a scientist.

That is what I'm saying.

But the main example I'm trying to put is how some people call themselves Christians because they read the Bible, but they aren't Christian because they don't believe in Christ.

Um... doesn't that mean that you're tagged as the wrong category then?

Nah: they're adding more patronage to the site: they just wont get any takers :)

<__< Although it might also depend on the dating site and how the people meet... if it's blind dating I might say yes .__.

And yeah... I hope people realize that being a Christian and following the Bible word for word are not the same thing, especially in certain Christian denominations.

Being a Christian as the name implies is about believing in Jesus Christ being the son of God and dying for out sins. Otherwise; there is not CHRIST in Christians. That would pretty much just make them theist of some other sort.

Um the commandment is "Thou Shalt Not Kill." Not "Thou shall not murder only!!"

shrug This opens up another argument about their killing other things but yeah.

Hmph. Unless you are saying them should stop campaigning ONLY because of their beliefs I would agree with you. But why should Christians be the only one to shut up? Not every christian is against abortion, and not every anti-abortionist/pro-lifer has their opinions on it based on their religion either.

I know I don't.

People have every right to form their opinions on something, just like others have the right to support something.

O__O I actually find it weird myself. I can understand sex not being shown to children because they'd get ideas in their head and we'd end up with more teen pregnancies. But I don't know exactly why torture is more acceptable. I guess because it's less realistic of someone trying torture? I guess because people know that torture has more painful consequences?

Idk..

I have my suspicions and I think she DID do it.

I can't see how a single mother could be partying when her only child is missing, and make up so many lies even to her parents who you'd THINK she would tell if she wanted to know where her child was. I also find it too suspicious of her moving out in the days after, having someone search on her computer how to kill someone, and her car being found with the stench of carcass.

It may be more subjective of evidence, but I think that ti was also how the prosecution never gave explanation of exactly what happened. I also am too suspicious of her lying about her father pretending it was an accident.

It's all too much to be coincidental

Umm to the question: I rather have a dead cow :|

I simply don't like the veggie foods. I've tried it all before, and I really just don't like it.

It's good that it's being more accepted though.

I agree with this actually:

as many friends as I've had that are non-christian, I only ever have had arguments with atheists ^^;

My Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist friends never seemed to care about my faith as long as I wasn't pushing it down their throat :o

Although it is very true that Christians can be from bad to worse sometimes, I actually perceive atheists as jerks when they call me a christfag for arguing against something even without even mentioning my religious beliefs. Although, it goes further than that: a lot of atheists I argue with automatically tell me that anything I say is invalid simply for believing in something they do not, and being ganged up on by a bunch of them several times in debates having nothing to do with religion is not exactly a peaceful look.

I'm all for thinking critically about something so important like religion. But if I'm going to be deemed a Bible-thumper or a Jesus-dicker for saying "I disagree because ___" then it's a problem of not being able to share my own opinion due to the oppression so many of them claim to be against.

But while I will agree it's not all of them: I'm just trying to if it's as much a majority as I think it is.
