Default Re: POLL---Who is more Reasonable

Hmmmm, 118 Views, 31 Replies...Do I need a second None Of The Above option?

Anyway, the results are turning out consistent with my hypothesis:

Atheists will vote for B while Religious types will vote for C, NOT A.

Surely this proves nothing, and my sample would surely be different on a board with more nutto Evangelicals...BUT I think it does prove that in THIS forum, which seems to me to be somewhat equally divided between believers and non-, the believers are more willing to admit the possibility that both sides are employing reason in their opinions. They don't think there is anything inherently "unreasonable" about atheism, simply that their reasoning is off, or their information is flawed. Meanwhile, many (certainly not all) who (note the wording) Believe that god does NOT exist, think that their opinion is the only logical result, and that the opposing viewpoint is based on emotion or "brainwashing."


Again, sample size, terms, and willingness to vote all may be skewed-up. Perhaps the late districts may report a comeback for Christian close-mindedness…we’ll see.

Thank you for your time…

Not all the 'C' voters are religous types. I voted "C" because there is no reasonable belief about the existence of god.
