More then likely, people who are educated, tend to not be religious. Their's a big difference between being religious, and having a faith in God. If someone tells me they believe in God, questioning their education probably isn't the best thing to do. BUT people who believe in the specifics of the Bible, who believe it's anything more then just fiction, are uneducated people. It's that simple. God didn't create every living thing. God didn't create the world in 6 days (or whatever it was) and the earth isn't 10,000 years old (or whatever the Bible says). No one walked on water, it's complete fiction. So in fact, being a true Christian, believing in the Bible, does make you ignorant. Believing in a God does not.

Oh yeah? Since more people then ever are rejecting religion, and accepting common sense (science), I bet those people aren't all rich. It seems like Christianity is the rich white mans religion because it's controlled and created by rich white people. Who runs the church? Rich white people. Who controls the churches message? Rich white people. Religion is way more elitist then Atheism. Religion claims that the impossible, or the illogical is in fact true, over conventional science. Religion claims that only people with faith will be saved by God. How is that better then atheism? Religion is basically, common sense, versus blind faith. People have a faith, in a book, for no reason. How unintelligent can you get? Theirs no reason to believe the Bible. Theirs no proof, no evidence. No nothing. But every single event in the history of man kind SUPPORTS atheism and science. You believe in something you can't see, you leave things up to God. God controls everything, and created everything. Those are the ideas of an uneducated person. As if you had an education, you would see how science explains it all (or almost it all). What does the Bible explain? Nothing.
And another thing that's interesting is, the "atheists" in this topic aren't personally attacking the others. You guys claim you're religious, and educated, yet you refer to Foday as a "mother fucking white boy". Yes.. that's very educated, and I'm sure God would love you talking about another person like that.
Religion is supposed to give you guidance on how to live an unselfish, good, honest life. People have lost sight of that. And apparently, having a faith in God like you guys seem to claim, is more important then actually living how he would want you to. I doubt you guys are really religious, as you probably sin everyday of your life. You can't take the good and the bad. If you're going to be religious, you be religious 100%, everyday, every second of your life. Otherwise, you're no better then any other non-believer, you've just convinced yourself in your mind, God will save you, even though you don't follow his word.

Well now this is being turned into, 'only dumb and uneducated people are religious/believe in the Bible/ have faith/whatever you wanna call it', and that shit is ridiculous and I think any person with a mind can understand that. No matter how low or high your IQ is.
How are you dumb for believing in the Bible? I don't know man. I don't know..
LooN3y:
since the rich white men that were leaders of the first organized catholic church was so corrupt, came the protestants, its not a rich white mans religions at all. there are black churches, asian, all races and they dont pay the white men doesnt own protestant churches owned by the minorities. even thought he money does corrupt the leaders of these protestant churches also no matter what the race.

Dumb is the wrong word. Naive, or uneducated would be better words. The Bible contains passages, which are directly contradictory to mainstream science. The Bible is a story. And people educated in science, do not take the Bible literally, as many do. Many Christians reject science. How unintelligent can you get? Believing in a book, versus believing in something you can actually see, hear, observe. Every event in our history points to the fact, the Bible is not true, and is nothing more then a story. Every event. So how can an educated, intelligent person, reject every single piece of factual evidence which has occurred in their lives and every life before, and believe in the Bible.
Believing in God doesn't make you unintelligent. But believing in the specifics of the Bible, does. The specifics go against every drop of common sense our modern society has. Science is what progressed us to today, not religion. So what is the most logical faith to bring us into new and a better future? Atheism.. the faith in science and common sense.

I know, but see, I'm going somewhere in life. Hip-hop is not all I have in life. For you...not so sure. Educate yourself, boy. Till then, you will remain naive enough to think religion has anything remotely resembling a basis in fact.

--- End quote ---
Right, says you. But I give a fuck what you think because your intellect is inferior to mine.

It has EVERYTHING to do with those qualities. Although there are plenty of exceptions, religion's adherents are overwhelmingly the least educated.
