Atheists view of religion. Old folks on old technology old science antiquated and dangerous.

Next, religions view of atheists as immoral science is God fanatics that do unnatural acts. Not natural for Harleys to do that so it must be immoral!! And unfriendly as well.

They are actually two wings of the same bird!

Science and religion are the two wings of one bird. Both must be equally strong for the bird to fly: “Religion and science are the two wings upon which man’s intelligence can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It is not possible to fly with one wing alone!” (`Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, pg. 143).

So why is it atheists and agnostics can fly just as well as Anglicans and Adventists?

As most of us know, neither the practice of science or religion has any bearing on one's intelligence.

We don't know that for certain. It would be extremely hard to prove or disprove scientifically.

I see 10 -20 patients per day. I'm unable to distinguish the atheists from the Christians. Most seem like decent and reasonable people....

Maybe hair differences?

I don't know. There's some very alternative Christians and very conservative atheists...

I'd really struggle to find any criteria to distinguish one group from the other.

"It is not possible to fly with one wing alone!"

I disagree with that statement. I don't need religion to fly.

I agree - and when you learn to fly with one wing, you can use the other to carry some science books home from the library...:books:

Yes we do. Intelligence refers to intellectual functioning, and is independent of what it's applied to. As one of my psych profs once said, half in jest: "Intelligence is what intelligence tests measure."
