Have theists *really* gotten this... unintelligent?

I was having a discussion with two theists... Well, near the end of the discussion, but this is the most amusing part.

 

Person 1 (P1): Seriously? Why don't you believe in God?

Me: Because there is such a lack of evidence to.

Person 2 (P2): Lol. Are you trying to get him to believe in Jesus?

P1: No, God.

P2: Wtf.

P1: I want to kick my ass to make him believe in God.

P2: I want to kick his ass to make him believe in God. (referring to me).

Me: Then you are an opressive idiotic religious fool. Good day to you.                  

 

And that's the end of the discussion. Now I know *all* thiests aren't like this, but out of the 7 billion people, statistically there are most likey more, sadly.

Some just don't want to think about the big questions, but they'll defend their religion to the bone. That's hyprocritical.

Side: Yes

People can be stupid in general. It's not really limited to theists, but they are not immune to becoming this stupid.

Atheists are equally stupid. I was had a debate with an atheist (about politics) who claimed that all my points were null and void because "it is a fact that all Christians are stupid".

Side: No

And damned if he isn't right. I'm sure there must be a few atheists who are stupid--I just haven't found one--but I sure as hell have met the stupid ones among the Believers.

To claim that my argument, however much evidence I put into it, isn't valid because of that person's experiences with other religious people is the height of prejudice and stupidity.

Well, of course some atheists are stupid. I never denied that. In fact, it would be massively realistically impossible to have theists AND atheists who aren't stupid.

Like I said above, there are going to be idiotic atheists of the 7 billion people that live on this planet.

Who cares. What you posted wasn't even an argument. I feel you have not even provided evidence for these theists being unintelligent. Seems they were just joking around.

No. They were not joking... At all. I can provide more evidence from the discussion if need be, although my memory of it is a bit off.

If your "evidence" is further testimony, then it isn't actually evidence at all.

Side: No

Sorry, NuckinFuts, but for my money, a theist is by definition, unintelligent simply because when it comes to faith, they simply suspend any ability they may or do have to think.

I also despise arrogant people.

Refute the Ontological Argument (Easy)

The Kalam Cosmological (Medium)

The argument from design (Easy)

The Teleological Argument (Pretty Easy)

The Moral Argument (Easy)

The Cosmological Argument from contingency (Harder)

The Thomistic Cosmological from Motion/Action (Harder)

The Thomistic from contingency (essentially the other one) (Harder).

Then you can arrogantly call theism unintelligent.

But you still can't extrapolate that to theists in general as that would be ad hom.

Side: No
