  1. I believe so, yes.

    And I am forced to wonder if that will continue.  I can foresee a possible future where the majority of dumbasses eventually says "Enough" and attempts a mass genocide of all the smart people.

    Just like a colony of ants can overcome another insect 100 times larger and more intelligent than themselves, so can a colony of human imbeciles.  The Christians have already shown their tendency to do this, for hundreds of years.


  2. Did you ever see the movie "idocracy' LOL. Anyway, I think you have a point so although I'm an agnostic I'd have to give credit where it's due.

    Religion is the result of evolution. It's bonding tendencies and other authoritative attributes helped early leaders motivate the masses and other things. Now we have knowledge and technology and it's time to move on from being sheeple to being thoughtful beings.

  3. whoever that tend to have less children is more intelligent, because the overpopulation,

    ignorance = many children

  4. "WEAK"???

    Go ask the over two dozen fetuses I've had aborted just how weak I am.

    If you but could.

  5. Ha! Nice trolling effort. Atheists are building in numbers. Theists WILL soon be outnumbered.  

  6. Higher mammals tend to spend more time nurturing fewer young.

    I'll let the rest of you do the math on that...

  7. I'm not sure how many I'll have yet. I think maybe 2 when I get married and if my future wife wants them. Yes I would like a family in a few years time but not tons of children. I'm not weak though.

  8. How sad it is that the unintelligent people breed like ferrets. Intelligent people as a whole tend to have fewer children, which is quite sad really, as we could use a lot more intelligent people.


  9. No, they refuse to see the truth, and that creates weakness because without truth they are subject to the world.

  10. Well, I have produced more than the national average. Again, one of your theories doesn't hold water.

  11. You mean like Norway?  Or the UK?  Ooops, guess you didn't...

  12. Oh and tell me where exactly have the most children.......?

    Oh wait that's right it's the poor, like people in the 3rd World.

  13. No, and it's "fewer" not "less". You can count children you know. Go to a playground, try it out. One child, two children, three children....

  14. Makes me think of the Korn video called evolution which basically showed the average IQ of the human population is declining. The cause?

    High IQ families have 1.8 children

    Low IQ familiies have 5.

  15. No, Atheists are strong thinkers, they see the reality of life and death.

    Unfortunately, Christians have been brainwashed, in the main, from childhood by other Christians into believing that the Bible is litrally true, word-for-word. Likewise do the Muslims and other religions for their holy books..

    The belief in a supenatural being goes way back, in the main because mankind was not educated, had not the knowledge we have todate, yet the 'none so blind as will not see' brigade are stubborn and stupid, preferring to listen to those that feel that the supernatural is plausable and all else is bunkum.

    To them, the rest of us, of course, are Anti-Christ scientists.

    No, God is a supernatural creation of mankind's mind. I see what is about and around me, so I do the science the math and come to conclusions from what is tangable and real.

    Inteligent Creation by a God is a myth, purpertrated by the stupid to fool the gullable...tiths, what a great way to make money; I should have been a pastor. Have you noticed how big churches are in the Southern States? So tall they are...I don't know anyone who is 30 feet tall, so why don't they build them 9 feet tall, plus an attic in the roof-space to hold all their junk. All that money used to build them that could have gone to helping the poor

    I would love to have some 'Bible Puncher' be able to show me 'PROOF' that God exists; tangible evidence for a design by an Inteligent Creation.

    FIGHT THE RELIGIOUS NUTTERS: GOD WILLS IT..!!!

    If it makes you happy to believe in the the supernatural, then that's fine.

  16. No. And I don't see where not having children is a weak link.

    We're overpopulated as it is.

  17. no. The weak are people who are physically weak.

  18. No.  Survival of the fittest does not mean strongest.  So I don't understand what you mean by "weak"

  19. I am a Christain and i actually think this question is ridiculous!

  20. The less educated you are (dumber), the more children you have. Maybe you should look at this:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic...

    "A study has shown atheism to be particularly prevalent among scientists, a tendency already quite marked at the beginning of the 20th century, developing into a dominant one during the course of the century."

  21. There are numerous evolutionary strategies involving numbers of offspring.

    Although some critters may have fewer offspring, they can increase their odds of species survival by putting more resources into the few offspring they have, to help make sure those particular offspring survive.

    Having huge numbers of offspring is a reproductive strategy seen in many pest species, such as mosquitoes, cockroaches, E. coli bacteria, and viruses like AIDS.


  22. You ask a very interesting question.  When you consider the problem of overpopulation, which is a real problem, coupled with the fact that atheists tend to be wealthier, I would say no, but maybe the theistic hordes will use their numbers to overrun us.  I don't know.  

  23. You should look up the statistics for the uneducated and number of children before you go shooting your mouth off.

  24. Clearly, you have completely failed to understand the concept of natural selection.

  25. well since you need beliefs to use as a crutch and atheists do not doesn't that make you weaker than atheists?

  26. And you have the nerve to ask this with that atrocious grammar, do I need to say more.

  27. No, we just don´t bread like bunnies.

    We invest in education, so, one or two kids are better off, in today´s economy, then 5

    Second to Ref Soleil.

    Man, you do hate us, don´t you?..besides, evolution has nothing to do with s*x and production of little future christians, it is just ignorance

  28. That is interesting. We have fewer children because we are educated and have more opportunities offered to us. We are also cognizant about environmental issues. We recognize the dangers that exist with overpopulation. There are finite resources and some people want way more than their fair share because they feel that they have "earned" it. I think the atheists that do procreate are strong evolutionary speaking because they have a higher intellect that will help to ensure our survival. I think religious people are more responsible for the problems we have because they know few limitations. I could be wrong but this is what I'm thinking right now.

  29. "Fewer" children.

    Also probably a false correlation. The actual correlation is between being highly educated and being less fertile. "Atheist" in that case is just a subset of "highly educated".

  30. If they do, they do not abuse their children by filling there heads with some medieval religious bollocks.  

  31. Go Google "non sequitur", before you embarass yourself further.
