Making ad hom remarks to others is an open invitation for them to make them to you. Neither is acceptable.

Argumentum ad populum has already been done in this thread.....


If we accept that there are more believers than non-believers, and if we accept that every believer posting in this thread has stated a disagreement with the findings, then it would seem your statement is incorrect.


Nice try--I would have said if you had the math correct. I am a minority at this site. Now before you go and say I'm wrong, I'll admit that might be the case and I am wrong. But by my being here now for a time---it has only been me and Guy that has spoken about God.

So, you are wrong--for now.

I simply don't trust you.
Why?

I have read a lot about this since I have made my first post on this thread.

Then why don't you enlighten us with a concise report on your findings and include a few links to reputable sites, preferably trustworthy academic ones.


...reputable sites,...

I'm sure there is a vast difference between what you call reputable and what I would call reputable. I did think God for google, you might check out both. Couldn't hurt you.

Funny thing, Jews are considered a religious group.
It's estimated that half of American Jews are Atheists.
So maybe being Jewish is as much cultural as it is religious.
Still 20% of the Nobel Prize winners have been Jewish while comprising less than 0.2% of the global population.
Religion without a strong cultural influence might be debilitating.

ID, when WK stated the above he did not make an ad hominem statement. You owe this board an apology.

I made the first remark. This thread was going down hill fast.
