You know Twitch, did you choose your username after reading one of AGuest's posts? I knew I shouldn't have, but I read the whole thing to refresh my memory, now I'm in the clutches of what can only medically be diagnosed as a "truth seizure." It's all clear to me now. I was so blind, but now my synapses have collapsed in on themselves.
It hurts to be grossly in error, is that what you're trying to say Twitch? I'm afraid I can't say I know how you feel.

Atheists vs Theists - IQ Score
by serotonin_wraith ini've heard about a few studies that show atheists are smarter than theists in some aspects of life- science, maths, etc.
i'm not sure how true it is though, so let's see how we do.

(Smiling) And what, pray tell, does "normal" look like, dear 'Self (may you have peace!)?
smellsgood: It doesn't look like crazy.
I would very much like to know your position on this, truly. Please do not take offense; it's just that I am always intrigued by the conclusions we seem to draw, seem to need to draw, based on what a person looks like. What if I had looked... ummmm... "afflicted" in some way? Would that have reduced the truth of my message? I certainly hope not - I hope that we are not SO shallow a species that we only listen to the truth IF the messenger "looks normal."
smellsgood: I draw no conclusions typically based on appearance. There are times when appearance is a clue to certain, thought processes of a person. If a message is "truth" than a whole bunch of ugly won't change that of course.
This is a very interesting need we have, isn't it, to see who it is that is speaking? Sort of undermines that whole "walk by faith and not by sight" thing, doesn't it? Especially when considered in light of what my Lord actually looked like when he was in the flesh, and what he looks like now as a spirit... versus what most people THINK he looks like (based, quite erroneously, on the very misleading depictions thrown out by "religion"). I have to tell you, earthling man is off. WAY off. In both instances.
smellsgood: I assume Jesus was of average looks, probably short, probably dusty at times.
AGuest, can you tell me, if you can, if there's any belief system, like if there's a denomination whose beliefs that resemble yours, or even a creed. What do you fancy yourself besides a 'Slave of Christ?' A prophet? Do you believe you have a special mandate from God to warn people? I'm just curious. -

"I beg to differ in that there are theists here."
Well, anyone who knows anything knows that. I can probably count the ones I know on two hands. While there are what, 10K registered? He's gathered precisely HOW many theists scores? How dare you beg to differ with me! I am not to be differed with.
"I might add that if I were one, I probably wouldn't post on this thread. It does seem the atheists are more vocal in proving their point. "
Yeah, um, would you run around in your rainbow underpants declaring your love for Liberace at a Texas rodeo? I think so. But you might find yourself being chased down by a Rodeo Clown who suddenly looks like the Sherriff of Testosterone City. I'm just saying. -

Ok, I would just like to say, I know the line is "Mailer" but damned if I know who that is, so "Mayer" as in John Mayer works for me. I agree with the song he wrote for me that my body is a wonderland, but he really ticks me off with his troutstyle of singing and the fact that he's so good at guitar, yet arranges a song as well as a water buffalo arranges the queens furniture.
Also, my mental wheels have made another 2 degree rotation, and by doing so has engineered another torrent of amazing insight.
I was thinking that perhaps at this point the fields that you spoke of were by nature Atheistic. I think that if you are to believe different from the party line default as it were in the Sciences today, you would be laughed into homelessness. I think it is rather exclusive, because it bases all study on evolutionary models. Of course, since the theory is beyond refutation at this point. -

all I was really trying to point out was that, er, obviously on this board, you have a very itty bitty pool of theists, believers, morons, whatever.
If you wanna see a panda, go to a zoo! If you wanted to learn the eating habits of indigenous females of Asia, you probably shouldn't head to Wisconsin. If you wanna see a tree, go to the forest, a baby, go to a nursery, wanna see a coke-whore, get a ticket for "I know who killed me."
You wouldn't head to a graduation to poll how many attending were dropouts.
I'm just saying, and with your wonderful I.Q. I thought you'd realise that you'd probably need to gather your I.Q.s of theists somewhere where there are some.
That's all.
Anony-mouse-you're adorable. Whatever to the numbers, you're only seventeen, and your clever enough to realise the WT is bullsh*t, whilst elders and lifers are toiling without raising their head to see the road.
And another thing, you're brain is still growing! It grows and grows and grows til like your 25 or something. Scary for me because I have limited time to make a vast number of improvements :)

"Many will see him as biased, so I thought I'd do a little experiment here. It's mostly for fun. Why not help us gather more data and add your score, instead of acting like a victim?" <
haha. Really serotonin_wraith, I'm just uncooperative. To be honest, even if I were to add my score, not from an online test, but from a more vigorous kind, I wouldn't be of any help, because I would be a complete antagonist and refuse to categorize myself, so others may neatly put me in a column. I was more ruminating on the deep thoughts I had about your inquiry. I didn't really want to participate but just offering up specifically what was asked of me!
"Maybe a better conclusion can be reached. If there's no correlation between religious beliefs and intelligence, the results will show that."
What results, you mean the ones of your just for fun study? Or another? I agree w/ John Doe and Dissonance, we all think we have the smartest view. Who'd sign up for something that THEY personally thought was dumb?
Perhaps a factor is that those who are ALREADY atheists, choose to go into such fields as biology to try and gather up more evidence for their already formed philosophies... I take studies w/ a grain of salt.
"As I said before, there isn't enough data to go on at the moment. Or you could carry on moaning- up to you."
I think I'll carry on moaning in that case. It sounds much more irritating that just giving in and willingly participating.
I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mayer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret

Well, Serotonin_Wraith, that's what happens when you conduct as solidly a scientific study such as this. I think we see the problem. Everyone here is smart, AND pretty much every one is an atheist. Shall we reach a conclusion from this information?
I think you'd have to gather I.Q.s of believers on a different board almost ... -

"You'll have to scroll down a couple posts. I wonder, though, what my looks have to do with anything as the flesh is of no use at all and God doesn't look at the outward appearance, anyway. But if you must..."
I'm not God Shelby. Nor his special servant. You look normal enough...but you have endless posts about things that seem to belong in a reality bubble all of your own making. I was wondering if you looked as 'interesting' as your enlightening posts made you seem psychologically.
This isn't a flash judgement, I've been reading here for years, and have read enough to become very familiar with you. I always wondered if you looked tweaky, maybe unmatched shoes, and a really flowery silk scarf or something, smudged makeup, too many bracelets and extra hair accessories. That's all. Well, you look very nice. I wanna see a photo of JCanon now.
peace to us all -

So, have I heard right?
Do you guys get free health, dental care? Including like, Orthodontia, braces which cost roughly $5,000 w/o insurance in the Americas, usually half with?
Are your tuition fees below 2,000 pounds? I saw a bit on the BBC World where Students were PROTESTING fees "jacked" up to around 1,200 pounds??? Was I hearing that number wrong? Was it only for certain schools? It would be so unheard of cheap to me!!
Are your petrol costs the equivalent of 6$, around 3 pounds, or are they 6 pounds, around $12??
Do you like the way us Yankees talk?
Which is your favourite American fast food chain 'import'? Do you have Wendy's? Burger King? TGIF (I know Tokyo has them!) Applebees, Olive Garden?
What's your favourite American t.v. show, if any?
What's your favourite British accent? :)
How do you feel about David Beckham being a part of American football, soccer now??? What about his wife, do you like her?
