No sir. I am the stupid one. Should have taken your quote out of the equation. I was not targeting you. I was implying that we all do it or have at some point in our lives. I hate it when someone else does it, but I do it myself too.

:smirk: can't totally tell if that was satirical or not... I'll just answer both.

A. (if it was) The difference is that there is a PROVEN correlation between religion and lower intellectual capabilities, no offense to religious peoples

B. (if it wasn't) haha yea i know

and about the fairies, XD




I was being satirical yup :wink:. You still haven't answered my question though. How aren't they real? Or in other words. What makes them unreal? :tongue:




Here we go again :rolleyes: how many times do people have to hear that you can't prove a negative until they fully grasp it....

Don't get what your saying. Sry.

edit. The reason I am still asking is because they exist as symbols, but don't exist as beings (or at least not that I know of).

It was very different back in the day, many great thinkers either hid their atheism or only believed because there wasn't substantial proof reinforcing the opposite.

Nowadays any intelligent person should be able to look at the evidence on both sides and realize that religion is chalk full of contradictions and fallacies, of course that depends on what religion it is




The people I mentioned were all mystical, none religious albeit.

Personally I have limited respect for the church going crowd, but there is a big difference between being church going (religious) and mystical or spiritual.

Can't recall any great thinkers who tied themselves up in dogma, thats including 'Saints' of different religions - who tend to be more mystical than religious. As far as I know at least

I was responding about you're comment on Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar and the great religious thinkers of the past
