Re: Why do some atheists care that there are theists?
[ QUOTE ]
Which is worse? 1. To think that you're kinda smart when you are actually not very smart at all? OR 2. To think that you're among the smartest minds in the world when you are merely extremely smart? [/ QUOTE ] I think I'm neither but I'd much rather be number 2. chez

Re: Why do some atheists care that there are theists?
Only in some very specialized endeavors do I consider myself super world class smart. Such as teaching moderately intelligent eight year olds to do word problems that require quadratic equations. I'm also more likely to come up with clever shortcuts or creative analogies regarding certain types of problems, than most of those people who are a little smarter than me.
