I just find that in general the atheist contingent is lacking in intellect. Nothing personal, just an observation..

Lol. What? If anything, I'd say they are generally more knowledgeable people who have done alot of research to come to their opinions, right or wrong.

It's probably that the people who are willing to admit to being atheists are the types of people who don't care very much about public perception and lead that kind of lifestyle.

The happy well to do atheists just never say anything, sometimes attend church, when necessary, and go along with their merry lives. No use in rocking the boat.

What the frick is a "non-atheist" other than a "theist"... Does this statement include "agnostics"?

Is there any philosophical argument here? Something like Pascal's Wager?

C'mon man!

Wacko religious people who actually believe in gods & little fairies up in the sky live their life in a trance-like state. They don't actually live a real life, they just go through the motions....so of course they will live longer. They're basically in zombie-mode, a religious self-induced type coma. Bitches can live forever when they're in a coma.



And I'll ask again in this religious thread. Why are certain religion threads allowed, but not others?

Looks like a pretty objective study.

Yeah, it may have actually been a decent article if not for the obvious bias.

Doing "research" does not equate to being smart. They mostly just parrot a bunch of BS from some obscure aethiest author they read that "disproves" the existence of God then walk away with a smug smile to go drink their pumpkin spice latte.

That bolded part tells me all I need to know about the study possibly having a bad bias one way or the other.

2009 a team of Harvard psychologists discovered that believers who checked into hospital with broken hips reported less depression, had shorter hospital stays, and could hobble further when they left hospital – as compared to their similarly crippled but heathen fellow-sufferers.

When did it become an atheists job to "disprove" the existence of God?

So parroting unfounded text from unknown authors that began the existence of God is somehow better?
