its no different than extremist terrorist training
as i read this i like how they point out the fact that most of the smartest people in the world are atheists, i also laugh as I am one of the best students in my classes by intelligence and all of the people i hold that position with are atheists as well
Weird conclusion... Perhaps there are exceptions? The three best students in the school where I studied since 5th grade were all Christians. That didn't corrupt their minds or "washed" their brains. One studies to become a doctor. The other studies forensic science. If people conclude such a thing from the fact that, according to many, Christians "CAN'T" believe in science, then I must say you could be wrong. I have wanted to be a scientist and an artist all of my life. And I am Christian. Science never made me doubt of my faith. And no, I don't believe in all of what the Bible says. That was written by men in ancient times, not by a superior being's hand.
One of the three students I talked about was me. I am going to study computer science.
Ancient Christians and Today's religious fanatics may criticize the rest of the world. But aren't the rest doing the same? Many teenagers laugh at believers because they think it's "stupid". Isn't that being intolerant, too? Then we're at hand.
Why can't we just learn to respect each other's point of view? What's so hard about it!
One of my best friends is bi-sexual AND Wiccan. The other is a complete atheist and almost idolatrizes Chick Norris (LOL). I don't read the Bible nor go to Church, yet I am a believer. I am not a saint either. Nobody is. I don't laugh at you for not believing, or at other religions for believing something else. I respect them.
There. We're all different.
