AR,

Well stated. You just describe George Washington quite well. I can’t say I recall his IQ but he had the “IT” factor that few possess while maintaining a nice balance humility. Quite the physical specimen as a young man may have not hurt either.

Romantic- Many many creatures on the Earth can run a 4.00 40. So what? Our species’ brains and our ability to do rational tasks are what has made us a success. It is wonderful you are able to run like one of our distant ancestors who had to chase down their dinner on a savannah. Do you think any school would have recruited you if there wasn’t perverse amounts of money sloshing around NCAA Div. I schools who field televise-able sports teams? If a Div i team could get away with fielding much cheaper to maintain rabbits for the same revenue, do you think they would have given you a look? Who knows, maybe they will just cut to the chase and convert arenas to casinos.

“How else can you explain the unrealistic beliefs of an atheist who represents 4% of the population?”

How can you explain beliefs of Maya? Can you prove them wrong?
Can you explain beliefs of Muslims? Can you prove them wrong?
How can you explain beliefs of 100% population of earth, only 500 years ago, that earth was the center of universe?

It is quite possible that only 4% of population of earth are atheists.
200 years ago there was 0% atheists on our planet!
However, DISTRIBUTION of atheists is what matters!
0% atheists in Iran, Afganistan, S. Arabia, South American countries….
Significant % of atheists in countries which made big progress in education of their populations (especially Europe).

More ignorant people, less atheists!

Mark 6:11 “Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them.

Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

I am departing from this post. I will keep on praying for change in those that do not believe.

God bless

You may have an high IQ, but you still are metally challenged. I mean do you really think you are better based on IQ? I used to run a 4.25 40 and recruited by no less than 30 schools. You know percent of the populace can do that? You are full of arrogance and lack humility which makes a human being worthy of admiration.

You are a failure.

“I feel saddened at your ridiculous rant. But I can’t touch it.”

I am sure you do realize that feel can mean different things, but one of them is the same as touch, which was the point I was making about the person who said touch and feel are different things.

-feel-
seem to yourself: to seem to yourself to be in a particular physical or emotional state
cause particular sensation: to cause a particular physical or emotional sensation
experience something: to experience an emotion or physical sensation

Synonyms: texture, touch, sensation, impression, sense, finish, composition

Romantic- Your insipidness is revolting. Even Proust at his most queer does not rival you.

So what if atheists make up 4% of the population? My IQ puts me in the 0.01% ( at least ) of the population. I feel pretty damned good about that. I am OK not being amongst the hoi polloi.

As for the simpleton above (Gillmer) talking about wind, and I presume he is not talking about the wind that indistinguishably breaks from his ass and mouth, he merely shows his primitive understanding of wind. What we call wind is the macro directional movement of the gas comprising our atmosphere. Wind refers to a process rather than material- think solar wind. But if you are implying that God is akin to breaking wind (farting in the vernacular) then I wholeheartedly agree.

‘You can’t say that Atheists make up only 4% of the population.”

yes I can. Look at the poll in #87.

Oh the stupid, it burns!

“Um, touching and feeling are the same thing.”

I feel saddened at your ridiculous rant. But I can’t touch it.

Oh the stupid, it hurts!
