Insomniacs assemble!!

But they out right succeed in making tons of money, which is why they are politicians.

I meant the ones that actually try to solve problems, and just fail at it. Don't know how common those even are.

Ah yes, regarding religion. Religion is a belief system, everyone has one. America will not become less religious, just more hostile towards their ancestors religion.

I still say its all a load of bollocks, some with loads of bollocks, some with little bollocks, some that are full of bollocks and some with none

A different vocabulary does not constitute as a large one. That's just a stereotype, bro.

They did not talk with thine and thou. That is Shakespeare's era
They had the same vocabulary they just knew more words

And religion is not connected with ignorance. That would be ones own adamancy in presuming they have achieved omniscience.

I can't debate well with religion. Gotta get more info. To the library!

A god can be anything, intentional or no. Money is a god, etc. You mean monotheistic ones? I doubt you mean traditional ones, since buddhism techincally doesn't have a god.

I doubt we'll get an accurate "why" 'bout that for a real long time. Though I'm no pediatrician nor psychologist, I'd think that religion as a whole might alter how the brain wires itself as a child grows in some way. As for people who convert later in life... How'd they fit into this question? A difficult variable indeed.

And religion is not connected with ignorance. That would be ones own adamancy in presuming they have achieved omniscience.

I'd say anythin' that promotes lies and faith rather than fact can be connected t' ignorance.

A god can be anything, intentional or no. Money is a god, etc. You mean monotheistic ones? I doubt you mean traditional ones, since buddhism techincally doesn't have a god.

Deity-centered religions as a whole, be it one (supernatural) god or multiple.

I can't take a scientist's word on something he cannot prove such as in the philosophical questions: What is life? What is intelligence? How did we get here?

And what is wrong with believing the supernatral?
