Does demon possession exist?

I think that is incredibly judgmental. I'm sure there is a subset of atheists that would fit into what you are trying to say.

There is also a subset of people who believe in God who are absolutely batshit crazy and would kill the majority of the world that doesn't agree with their view of the world.

I am an atheist I, and I know many atheists and we got there with independent thought. You are really overthinking this.

Unfortunately, the science is settled on this topic.

Atheists are more likely to be virgins, unmarried, childless, possessing fewer social bonds, be unpopular and bullied, be judged as less sexually attractive, etc...

You have unquestioning belief in "science" when it leads to a conclusion that alien life a)probably exists, and b)probably won't be discovered by us in any time span except maybe the super far future.

But you suddenly lose that faith in science when it proves believers have it all over nonbelievers on the overwhelming majority of important quality-of-life metrics?

Interesting....interesting.

I didn't question anything about that statement. Don't put words in my mouth. What I said was very plain and easy to understand. You are either trolling or being disingenuous. And that research, even if true (and I'm not questioning it because I simply don't know), definitely doesn't apply to me or most atheists that I happen to know. Be better.

[Bush4Ever.]

i already exposed that broken logic. No correlation between healthy/happy and true. So now youre doing the "Rodgers is better than Brady" style obvious trolling to get out of the debate.

It's not broken logic because I'm not applying that argument to that topic in the first place you dummy.

I literally just said I acknowledge the fact that atheism is a magnet for life losers doesn't make God a fact.

Stop trying to be edgy. Stop trying to be a smart boy.

Read what people actually write. Don't make assumptions.

You preach the cult of science...maybe practice what you preach and do the simple things right before claiming you understand the deepest nature of reality?

Everything I said was backed with scientific evidence.

On your side, not so much...

Show me the gold-standard peer-reviewed scientific evidence of intelligent life on other planets, and also the gold standard peer-reviewed scientific evidence that proves the non-existence of God.

And that research, even if true (and I'm not questioning it because I simply don't know), definitely doesn't apply to me or most atheists that I happen to know.

So musings by (some) physictists is definitely valid, but a meta-analysis by the leading psychological journal in the entire world may or may not be valid?

Okay then. I wonder if your confidence would go up if the conclusions were "atheists rule theists drool".

And to the second point, are you willing to say men aren't generally stronger then women because female Olympic powerlifters can outlift Madness?

Will you freaking stop trying to put words in my mouth. You are better than that. You are either trolling or just thoroughly disingenuous. I made simple statements that stand on their own. Nothing more. Nothing less. With respect to whether "on average" belief in God is associated with better life, fine, but who cares? I am sure as hell not going to review the research. I have too many other things to do. But theists and atheists are individuals and there are plenty of awful theists (there are several on this board) with awful lives and there are plenty of great atheists with great lives.

Cool.

Can you show me direct evidence of the research review (physics, biology, chemistry, etc...) that you did when you validated the belief of alien life on other planets in the universe?

If you can't and simply took it on faith, why did you run towards "evidence" that is against God (or least towards alien life) and run away (in this thread) away from evidence that would suggest belief in God is positive?

Why didn't you utilize the same "purely rational, purely logical, purely pure, purely data from Star Trek levels of rationality" methodology in both cases?

You are kind of proving my point dude.

[Uncontroversial]

this atheist has done pretty well for himself



seems happier than this religious fella

[Bush4Ever.]

Madness and Grizz have taught me in a population of seven billion people, some of them will run counter to the overwhelmingly huge effect and trend in the general population.

This is some deep-level insight. I'm glad I'm learning some science here.

Wow....like dude.

Has anyone ever typed out more words than the verbosive Grizz to just say

“I don’t know what I’m talking about”
“I don’t have the time or care to do the research”

What’s the word for people like this, who just love to see words fly out their mouths without saying anything?

your contributions to this thread are like a fan running on the field in a sports game. Just chill on the sidelines fool.

[Bush4Ever.]

Atheists are smarter than Theists

So you are saying even with a 40ish percent SD advantage of intelligence you and your people STILL have worse life outcomes than Theists?

You are starting the 100 yard dash 20 yards in front and still losing.

lol

Spoiler:

Didn't think that one through did you?

[kobeunderbite]

Madness is also an atheist who has done well for himself. He's very happy.

i literally cringe reading most of your posts. So weird because in the espn days i thought you were one of the better, more creative posters. But thats such a long time ago. Did you have a stroke or something? I feel like its been years since one of your posts wasnt just a cheerleading message of support for one of your tribesmen, with some urban 90s slang thrown in.

im glad you took that lightly, it was a little harsh. True, but harsh.

It is true. I’m a shell of my former posting self. This place has gotten so stale n boring, my only mission is to trigger Grizz into DM’ing me one last time an angry filled “ur an asshole rant”. He was almost there til you white knighted for him faggot.
