Can you prove a decrease in religion results in an
increase of
intelligence ? There seem to be examples to the contrary
here.

I'd say the increase in intelligence causes the decrease in
religion.
Clever folk realise what they've been taught is a load of
****e.


Religion is only the outward expression of a desire or
acknowledgement
that a greater power exists beyond our own selves.


Yes I know what religion is, and it's nonsensical.

No, religion is a logical response to an inward sense that
greatness
exists outside of being human.

There is no evidence of a greater power.

Who designed the human nervous system? What sort of
intelligence
would
it take to get it to function correctly?

If there was one, there would be evidence,

There is evidence, but even evidence is subject to your
individual
belief system.

and if
we have to worship it, he would ask for the worship.

Would you want to have to ask, or would you want such adoration
given
freely to you?


And looking around you, you see God's hand in everything.

yeah ...

Hmm, like some innocent babies being born blind/ limbless etc?

Hi Bod,

Long time no talk. Hope this find you well over on the island.

That is nature, not God's doing. And don't think for one second
that God doesn't notice.

Luke 12:7 KJV
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear
not therefo ye are of more value than many sparrows.

We also feel God presence around those who are helpless. This
is what Muggles and I an talking about.

And, by the way, we are servants of Christ. We are expected
to be his arms and legs. No sitting back and hitting others
over the head (taxes) and demanding that they take care of
the helpless, but not lifting a figer ourselves. It is
the deference between society, which is a blessing, and
government, which is to punish.

I've always thought that since it says we are the "body" of Christ
that
it included the entire body, not just the arms and legs. I've joked
that I must be a gall bladder because even as a child people
would say
things to me like, "You've got GALL to say that!" lol I guess I
wasn't
born with much tact!


sing "all things bright and wonderful, the lord god made them
all".

Yup. All things seen and unseen. You should feel our hearts
when we look at the stars. The universe is beyond our human
capability to comprehend (the hand of God).


Then recite "god made all men equal"

Colonel Colt made all men equal.

God loves each and every one of us.

What a load of crap!!

Watch out what you do unto the least of you. You
are also doing it unto God. That included the
rivers of blood from the abortionist's knife.

Guess you have never looked into someone's eyes and
seen the love of God.

Many people won't look others eye to eye because they can see into
that
person's soul what they are going through, or what they are about.
Have
you noticed that people don't like looking at each other eye to eye?

I always do. Autistic people have trouble in looking into peoples
eyes
though.
Only by looking into someone's eyes can you see their sincerity.

Where did you get that idea from? I used to work in a school which
had
autistic kids, and they had perfectly normal conversations with me.

Because I know about Autism and you haven't got a clue.

https://www.autismspeaks.org/blog/20...ke-eye-contact



I just told you, I've had normal conversations with many of them.
They're odd people, but conversation is not none of the things they have
trouble with. As your link talks about how to encourage eye contact,
perhaps the ones I met were brought up properly.

It's a common trait with Autism. Nothing at all to do with their
upbringing.

YOUR link says you can train them to make normal eye contact. Clearly
either that's happened, or it's a load of ******** about them not making
eye contact, because they ALL spoke to me in a completely normal way.

Training Austistics to make eye contact has to be taught and normally by
a specialist.

Autistic children all get specialists. And the teachers they got were not mainstream teachers, but ones trained for difficult children.
