I mean there's a good chance that there's a physical difference
between believers and nonbelievers. What made the Christians stop the
evolutionary clock, while the rest of us thrived on change and
capitalized on creativity? HOW MANY SCIENTISTS ARE FOUND AMONG THE
CHRISTIANS?
Bless the wheel that went to work on the Beach Cruiser. This is based
on Einstein's theories:
"Since the ratio of car mass to passenger mass for a single passenger
vehicle is roughly 15 : 1, the overall efficiency of a car system (its
ability to move your carcass down the road) is 0.10 x 1/15, or
somewhat less than one percent. Say 2/3 of 1 percent. Multiply this by
the number of passengers.
So, good rule of thumb, a car is 1% efficient. Incredible, isn't it?"

Where did you get this idea that 'Christians dont captilize on
creativity ?!' The very creation we live in is wrought with
creativity in design and engineering ; perhaps its the Atheist that
doesnt want to see such , is forced to take so much for granted as
far as design of our cosmos is concerned, and to try hard to
perpetuate a hopelessness to ones life to help justify going for all
the gusto one can get while time permits (?) Perhaps its necessary to
willfully suppress the knowledge of a personal theistic Creator that
he has left behind because its a fly in the ointment (???) . I
think so. I used to play the game for a good 10 years before i exited
a state of proclaimed atheism.
Sorry to say, you don't sound like Einstein...
This occurred to me while riding a bike and doing many, many loops
around the park.
"Brothers and sisters from South Beach. We may be separated by some
deadly roads and grinding sidewalks from 71 ST to 41 ST, but we don't
hate you or envy you. We have our own beautiful parks and trails, just
that we can't share the whole place from one end to the other. The
same thing once separated the East and West Germans, but they are now
one people. They are prosperous too! Just don't let visible or
invisible barriers put you down. Actually, right next to the Alton Rd
bridge, there's a light pole blocking the sidewalk thus making it
impossible to ride a bike or even walk. Worry not, someday we will be
connected."
"I thought of it while riding my bicycle", is reputedly what Albert
Einstein said about his Special Theory of Relativity.
Da Vincis wasted too much time drawing the Last Supper, and some
equestrian statue that never survived.
But hey, I have the benefit of hindsight and we know Da Vinci wouldn't
be a Christian today judging by his creativity.
He even drew the bicycle.
You have a long history of chopping peoples' heads
off for it?
(Note that "capitalize" and "decapitate" share the
same Latin root.)
Notice: They find that decapitation is the quickest way to stop a
person from thinking and has an intimidating effect on the general
population. Brainwashing until conversion takes a long time and
doesn't guarantee them results.
Both methods were tried against the Indians with fairly good results,
ie. they surrendered the land.
You can't just sew the head back on, either, not with those
rusty old medievel awls that make for leaky sutures. And
sure, people *think* it's comedy when the head is sewn
on backwards, but real life isn't a Don Martin cartoon.

The Puritans favored blankets. Columbus favored
chopping off kids' feet. They converted in droves.
Well, the Puritans sometimes chopped off heads, hanged them and
displayed them for years. Such was the case of Indian "King Philip,"
but I don't know how widespread was beheading.
Spaniards gave a break to those who became slaves and learned European
culture, ie. accepted Jesus and all the trappings. The Mexican Indians
found "Guadalupe" Virgin, and still is the national symbol.
PITA, because you have to brush on a new coat of
tar and clean out the wren's nest every year. DAMHIKT.

I've seen the holy towel of guadalupe. National cathedral,
Mexico city. You hop onto a conveyor belt and get a 15
second viddy of the world's oldest black velvet painting of
the bvm. Very surreal.
In America Christian means Conservative. They refuse new ideas and
oppose any liberal initiative out there.
They voted en masse for Bush and generally oppose Obama, however timid
his initiatives are. For example, he should promoted the Single Payer
universal healthcare system and end of story. Germany --the pioneer in
universal healthcare-- has a mixed system that also makes sense. Obama
though --in order to compromise-- ended up with an expensive and
complicated system that now the Conservatives are attacking with low
balls such as the "Death Panels"...
Hey, Euthanasia makes a lot of sense but Obama is far from daring to
go that far...
http://pumabydesign001.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/death-panel-obamacare.jpg
Liberal humanist societies don't have a problem with that as they as
they don't have a problem over people smoking marijuana or having
abortion. Of course, nobody is promoting that either, but education is
the best medicine. The Christians, though, have the practice of
wanting the child to be born and then deny him decent healthcare --
such as Bush did. Not a Christian blinked in protest. Hey, they even
reject the First Lady for educating the people to be healthy. They
insist on being fat and dumb.
As I said, smaller brains.
Yes, the Christians are one group that evolved differently from the
normal people.
Their neurons and brain cells are half damaged and they are weak,
susceptible to believe in nonsense.
Perhaps we should refer to them as homo sadpiens, not sapiens.
For once, I am tempted to agree with this geezer - Christians make
shit up all the time! Very creative.
Their brains belong with early hominids, perhaps some 2 million years
ago.
Their main attribute is being bipedal.
They are also nurtured by the elites who feed from them. In no case I
see an effort to enlighten them.
Cortical area is also important. The less convoluted
the cortex, the dumber the animal.
It's just because I ride a Beach Cruiser and they drive an automatic
Toyota.
Actually, though, the American Christian is a unique species in the
civilized world --Christus Americanus.
Good to know. Either that or the Bible is convoluted. ;)

Well, it takes two or three generations to kick in. :)
Actually it's a muscle that you train. There's very little to create
when you believe that things are created by God and cannot be changed.
These are the facts:

"A separate poll in the 90s found only seven per cent of members of
the American National Academy of Sciences believed in God."
Thank you for the data. It backs my suspicions that they can't ride a
bike. ;)
"Two questions were key: Have mean global temperatures risen compared
to pre-1800s levels, and has human activity been a significant factor
in changing mean global temperatures?
About 90 percent of the scientists agreed with the first question and
82 percent the second.
The strongest consensus on the causes of global warming came from
climatologists who are active in climate research, with 97 percent
agreeing humans play a role."
Obviously the fact that they are bipedal is not good enough. The
challenges are too big for them to handle.
Let me rephrase that:
"The problem with Christians is not that they are not smart enough,
just that they are not smart in creativity."
I wouldn't say about atheists or christians brain size, but i know
those that aprtake in robitussin PCP
may develop holes in the brain, thusly decreasing their brain mass ....
I know many may not like this comparison, but it sounds amazingly
real: THOSE WHO ENGAGE IN CHRISTIANITY LIVE IN A DAZE SIMILAR TO
MARIJUANA USERS.
And I apologize to the Rastas, who are still conscious of JUSTICE.
No, robotards.

I don't know. So, how many?
--
Aren't you special. Tell me your problems.
They must be Republican scientists and get funding from the
Republicans. ;)
1 in 100 maybe?
In the old times "everybody" was Christian, at least on paper.
But if you analyze that we have been punished by God for eating from
the "Tree of Knowledge," you'll realize it was better to appear to be
Christian in order to be accepted.
Notice few scientists are vocal in denying God, which could dry up
their funding. I understand though Stephen Hawking "came out of the
closet" recently. But he gave hints before...
“I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and
that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.”
“The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that
events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a
certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.”
Speaking of which, isn't 7 time Tour winner Lance
Armstrong an atheist? Was 5 time winner Greg
Lemond also an atheist? Eddy Mercxx?
Are they truly bipedal if their knuckles drag on
the ground?
Yeah, they are as smart as a monkey!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTgeLEWr614
Well, not quite as smart as the chimp. ;)
I think we can grant them the status of bipedal but not homo sapiens.
C'mon, someone is to blame for all that stupidity either the
politicians, business or the voters, and these are the Christians and
the Elderly. Yeah, the elderly vote for their own interests and they
don't care about a future they won't live. The Christians, on the
other hand, don't question things here as their Kingdom is not of this
Earth.
We live in a gerontocracy compounded by a theocracy. And they don't
care about liberalizing or changing the system. Notice the Christians
deny evolution for the most part, so why change. These two blocks are
easy prey to politicians and corporations.
That chimp should be in Vegas working the blackjack
tables, not playing video games in some lab.
He would learn all the tricks the Christians have set up over the
years. We better make him the bouncer.
Anyway, here's some serious stuff:

I still wonder why the dumb Christians make so much fuss about
marijuana and poppy seeds. I hear coca leaf is better than energy
drinks.
This is one area where the Christians show lowest IQ.

Yes, that's why animals are happier. They enjoy the day and that's it.
Look at birds how happy they are.
But when it comes to survival, roaches will outlive us carrying forth
God's command to conquer the Earth. Christians have broken the Wisdom
of the Jungle, kept by the Indians for eons, and in 200 years they are
nearly the end of resources.
That's how crazy this Universe is.
KABUL, Afghanistan – Anger over the burning of the Muslim holy book at
a Florida church fueled a second day of deadly violence half a world
away in Afghanistan, where demonstrators set cars and shops ablaze
Saturday in a riot that killed nine protesters, officials said.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110402/ap_on_re_as/as_afghanistan
But they are not that dumb to go and do the fighting themselves. ;)
TibetanMonkey's brains have been fully tested on beach cruisers and
heavy traffic. And I tell you, "life can be a beach or or a bitch."
No Christian on automatic pilot can stop me. Actually I just tested my
automatic bike (Giant Suede) and it's vastly superior to anything with
a motor. Of course, YOU MUST STILL PEDAL AND KEEP YOUR BALANCE. ;)
They believe that only one version of religion is right, which is, of
course, theirs. The possibility that neither is right hasn't occurred
to them. The Old Fart (Moses) was a Jew --and so were most of the
characters in the Bible, and we know how much Jews tend to exaggerate
things. ;)
I even trust better the Mayans.
The analogy between roaches and Christians is an interesting one. They
both multiply quickly and are predatory. But the Christians don't have
the survival capacity of the insect. Notice also that roaches know no
sin.
So the species to fulfill God's command will more likely be the
roach.
