It's well documented that atheists know more about various religions than most believers MNBrewer May 2014 #9

Why did you modify beliers with "most" and left athiests unmodified? rug May 2014 #14

You have to be careful about extrapolation. rug May 2014 #41

Mormons are an interesting outlier in that. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #35

We do. We always read widely and in depth to make sure we didn't miss something Warpy May 2014 #27

You think people who believe in unproven, unsubstantiated claims phil89 May 2014 #54

That is a lot of words to put into my mouth - hope you washed your hands. SoLeftIAmRight May 2014 #56

Brilliant - your standard response to any reply to your blanket "atheist are unable to reason" claim muriel_volestrangler May 2014 #61

Wow! SoLeftIAmRight May 2014 #62

The burden of proof is on the people asserting that something exists. Arugula Latte May 2014 #66

open your eyes SoLeftIAmRight May 2014 #68

I've been here since 2001, so that's another thing you're wrong about. Arugula Latte May 2014 #74

Yes SoLeftIAmRight May 2014 #82

Here's a bit of advice: muriel_volestrangler May 2014 #85

Is there some part of my post that was unclear? theHandpuppet May 2014 #29

Maybe I didn't. Are you saying that you object to FRANCIS, while not objecting to any other popes, Sarah Ibarruri May 2014 #43
