Top Five Most Religious U.S. States

[Filuwaúrdjan]

That's actually quite debatable,

Not really. Your's wins pretty easily.

Hmm...interesting how some of the least educated, poorest, and most obese states are also religious.  What does that tell you?  Perhaps the more feeble minds are most likely to subscribe to religion?

What a vile Social Darwinist you are.

As much as I think that comment was mean-spirited, what does "stupid people are more likely to be religious" have to do with Social Darwinism?

Aimed at the whole, disgusting, comment rather than the specific target of the comment.

And, frankly, I get a little sick of the "intellectuals" here who assume that "feeble-mindedness" (a conveniently negative euphemism for lack of intelligence) is something for which to fault others.  That, to me, seems a more offensive turn of "Social Darwinism."

Why do you think I snapped?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I only noted that religion seems to be able to be sold more easily to those less mentally equipped.

Don't you just love the way that His Lordship implies that He is Very Clever Indeed, while Those Damn Proles are obviously all Very Thick Indeed.

Arrogant ****.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Just a warning to say that things could easily get uglier. Regrettable, but I know what I'm like.

If it was because his intent was to cast doubt on your religion by saying most believers are stupid, that was a fair point.

That was part of it. But only part.

I strongly object to the tendency of a lot of people here to view themselves as being part of some sort of intelligent elite when all they actually are is spoiled snobs sneering at people less fortunate than themselves. That sort of attitude is really quite sickening.
