This worn canard again? First of all correlation is not a causality. And just for the record, Jews have about the same correlation with intelligence as atheists. Last time I checked Judaism was still a religion. So we have counter example of a religious group, Jews, with the same correlation to IQ as atheists which is evidence against a causal link between religion and lower IQ.

And Jews aren’t so dumb as to believe in heaven.
I have Jewish genes.

Totally distorting what I wrote.

Wow,

Revealing...

You call that a distortion ?
You are a con man.

Guess what you see when you don’t have a fixed worldview ?

Reality as it is.

Funny, that definition would work for insanity too.

@Shaul “Reality as it is - is the definition of insanity”

Wow.

Revealing...

So if what I posted was a total distortion, rephrase your post for clarity.

Brilliant observation.

So either high IQ causes atheism, or atheism raises your IQ, or they just naturally occur together.

Take your pick.
Which part of correlation is not causality do you not understand?

Faulty tactic #99

Talk provocative rubbish to avoid actually answering any meaningful questions from the atheist.

An example has just been provided for you by @Shaul

Freethinkers have fixed world views ?

That is oxymoronic.
So you think it is an oxymoron for freethinkers to be free to think in fixed world views.

LOL

Brilliant! That is quite the cognitive dissonance you have going.

Oh dear, me. Dost thou stoop to ad hominem?

I guess when you can’t prevail in a discussion that is to be expected.

I guess when you can’t prevail in a discussion that is to be expected.

And thus you again avoid answering specific questions.

It ain’t just ad hominem if it’s true.

You have totally failed to engage in honest debate.

I’m finished schooling you now.

Post whatever final word games you like, you are not worth talking to.

9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, 10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 11For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie, 12in order that judgment will come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

You see these things as faulty because your own understanding has been distorted. That is, you literally cannot see God because you believe he is not there, you believe in the delusion of the physical world. But the physical world is a shadow of the Real World.
