Quote by: Prometheus So there are the deluded masses, who have to be deluded for their own good, and the intellegent few who see it all objectively? Sucks for most of us. I guess that explains the smug, asshole nature that most atheists display |
I suspect no more than the smug, asshole nature of people who seem an abundance of drive combined with natural leadership abilities, or drive combined with natural business sense, or drive combined with natural athletic ability. Smugness doesn't come from having gifts, it comes from thinking your better than others because of it.
And I didn't say that pure intelligence equals atheism, considering the evidence to the contrary. However, considering that something like 80% of scientists don't seem to believe in God, it strikes me that a certain type of academic, inquisitive intelligence may.
And I daresay the smug, asshole nature of atheists doesn't even come
near the smugness, arrogance and superiority shown by the Christians who condemn them.
