For all the athiests.
127 Answers
How will you feel when you find out that there really is a God and that you have spent your life mocking him?
I know of many athiests who have spent most of their life disbelieving, and then finding out they were wrong.
What will you do?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.@Truthabounds - You state you can produce documentation. Thats not really the point. Nothing at all in any of your posts offers any corroboration that you have any clinical or scientific training. I will continue to be sceptical of your claims to any sort of science background.
As to your last line - Let me get this right - all of us who challenge your points, on perfectly valid logic and rational grounds, those of us who reject you faux -humble homilies and verses from your little book of fables - all of us here who have challenged you, politely ( if robustly) we are all swine are we? Nice! Way to win friends and influence people! Did you learn you bad manners from your book also?
Regardless - your original post reeked of a kind of complacent "I am better than you" attititude, and of spite towards those who have the temerity to think for themselves and reject your narrow worldview and your God, and your subsequent postings have been unoriginal, misinformed, mistaken, rude and anti-scientific - In fact, some of your posts have actually been all of the above, which is very nearly a record.

Studies comparing religious belief and I.Q
In 2008, intelligence researcher Helmuth Nyborg examined whether IQ relates to denomination and income, using representative data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, which includes intelligence tests on a representative selection of white American youth, where they have also replied to questions about religious belief. His results, published in the scientific journal Intelligence demonstrated that on average, Atheists scored 1.95 IQ points higher than Agnostics, 3.82 points higher than Liberal persuasions, and 5.89 IQ points higher than Dogmatic persuasions. [4] "I'm not saying that believing in God makes you dumber. My hypothesis is that people with a low intelligence are more easily drawn toward religions, which give answers that are certain, while people with a high intelligence are more skeptical," says the professor.

Zeitguy, Intelligence wise, I might well fit neatly into the professor's profile but with regards to certainty, it was the need for certainty that led me to reject belief in not only religious assertions but in all matters requiring a reliance on faith. I'm living proof that intelligence (or in my case the lack thereof) doesn't necessarily correlate to a proclivity for questioning 'established truth'.
