Re: The Better Intelligence-Religion Correlation
[ QUOTE ]
I most certainly do understand the problem with talking about disproving God. So why is it that there are so many that emphaticaly claim that there is no God? [/ QUOTE ] There aren't. There are plenty who say it's unreasonable to believe in God. This is a very different claim.

Huh? [/ QUOTE ] There are very few people who emphatically deny the existence of God. If you believe people are making the claim that God doesn't exist, then you are misinterpreting.

Atheists emphatically deny the existence of God. [/ QUOTE ] No, we don't. I point you to the dozens of threads already on the topic, or you can google it, or see refutations by atheist thinkers and organization, or hell, try the wiki. You're the one who's misrepresenting.

[/ QUOTE ] Disbelief in the existence of God isn't the same as belief in the nonexistence of God. Few atheists outright deny the existence of God - this has been true since people started describing themselves as atheists, it's nothing new.

Wow! pokervintage [/ QUOTE ] Where'd you find that definition? I'd say its more aptly "lack of a belief in God." Especially since theism is defined as having a belief in God, only makes sense that a-theism should be the lack of that belief.
