By saying that faith implies a low intelligence, you merely prove your own lack of intelligence by showing your misunderstanding of the concept of faith.

As intelligence increases, happiness decreases. We become aware of the problems in the world and diseases and problems that can be harmful to us. Of course we don't stay as happy as we were.

I disagree with both statements. It is possible to be intellegent, religious and happy. I know of a lot of people who are all three of these. I wouldn't think of myself as overly intellegent, but I can say I'm happy and religious. So it depends on the person more than anything else.

I agree generally to both statements, however, not as a set rule. As many others have set there are many exceptions.

I think both statements are values that society puts on them. Sure all of us can think of many exceptions but both these views for A and B, but we like to assume that these are true.

By saying that an idea is stupid, you are merely proving your own ignorance of my idea. Take a look at the poll's results so far, I think they speak for themselves.
Your poll speaks only of the percentage of people here in livewire with certain beliefs who have opted to take your poll. This site is hardly an equal pool of all belief systems, and with 33% of the world, Christianity is still the worlds largest religion.

Yeah, but that's besides the point. It wasn't supposed to prove that my results applied globally. Obviously, it only applies to the subject pool. However, the subject pool is also the only people who are reading this, therefore it balances out. Post edited at 12:25 pm on Dec. 15, 2006 by Khadgar

Be that as it may you're not taking into account that Catholicism is considered different than protestant and protestant differs from evangelical and then you have mormons and jehovas witnesses which believe something totally different than anyone else. All of these denominations would feel different from each other when voting therefore the "Christian" response would be just as diverse as the atheist response.
