So much hate and spite and pride just oozing out of this thread.
Topic seems to bring out the worst in many.
Guess I'll just keep moving on. Peace.

weschrist- "knowledge of the dominant fairytale is not...."
And visa versa!
That was the exact same point that I was making in regards to donini, et al;
That knowledge of the world religions, does not equate to the atheist having more knowledge in regards to what Christians have about their Bible, God, Jesus Christ etc.
Donini, et al. where getting all puffed up about atheist and agnostic's having more "knowledge" about religion. He/they were infering that they new more about God & Christianity, the Bible, etc. than we(born again/evangelicals) do...KNOTT.
weschrist- "keep your relationships to yourself".
You sound like a NAZI...
I wouldn't have even come on this site if you guy's were capable of keeping the facts straight.

You are thick headed weschrist.
I made no claim of Christians being more knowledgable regarding "religion" because they..
Just like the report/article states, Christians know more about Christianity...
Who cares about the 100's or according to your buddy "Fruitcake" 1,000's of other religions? There own followers, and atheist because atheist study all the religions to find faults with them, period.
I have found the one true God and I am happy. I have no need to study all the others. Although I have in college, in discussions, through work and relationships over the last 50 years, etc. I am sure I know more about them then you and "Fruitose" put together,,,,SO WHAT, WHO GIVES A DAMN.
You and the other GOD HATERS are on this site simply stir up trouble, and feed your bitter and sick contempt for the God that created you and anyone who believes in Him. You could care less about the other religions.
Like i said I/we know the Holy Bible better than anyone else. That is what the study/report said, and far as I am concerned all that matters.
GOOD-BYE!!

donini- "Seems that the group that scored highest on religeous knowledge were atheist/agnostics.
No, like the report that donini was quoting(the NY Times)they(atheist, agnostics)scored highest on religions like Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism the atheist had more knowledge.
Christians(evangelical Protestants) new more about the Bible and Christianity.
donini- "Are we to infer that the more you are to know about religion/god, the less likely you are to believe in same?
"religion/god"....???
You know much less, and next to nothing about God, because you don't even believe there is one.
Saying you know more about God, when you say "there is no God". Is like saying you know more about some city/town/valley/river etc. when you claim that place does not even exist to someone who has been there.
We know more about the Holy Bible, and the God of the Holy Bible.
atheist know more about the various other religions.

I quoted the article(notice the quotation marks)up thread. It was the one that donini was talking about, and was what came up for that specific day/NYT...
My quotes are from the article that donini was referring to.

Of course anyone can know a lot about religion through mental gymnastics, mental speculation, and book reading.
That proves absolutely nothing except you're some so called rubber stamped scholar.
God consciousness does not in any way shape or form rely on any of the above methods .........

wes, a couple days ago they had only part of the report, enough ton draw interest in his study. What you found is in addition to what was on the internet link.
But what is the point?
So atheist know more about other "religions" outside of Christianity/Bible...great, congratulations.
That does not mean they know more about God, or the Bible.
Wes- "I don't see where..."
Let me ask you this, do you see my quotes up thread in the article/report?

The survey is not designed to explore God Consciousness...."
donini- "Are we to infer the more you know about religion/god, the less likely you are to believe in same?"
Donini seems to possibly think otherwise, as he asked/questioned.
That atheist have "more" knowledge about God. And that the more knowledge you have of Him, the less liklely you are to believe in Him.

Your not even worth discussing this with, you are missing some critical thinking/whatever axons Bro.
I quoted what donini said "religion/god"..."the more we know about, the lees likely we..."
YOU said somethingn about God Consciousness, which IS knowledge/knowing God.
Christians know Him through a relationship.

Correct, I said Christians...the article i quoted said "evangelical Protestants".
I was speaking of what I believe to be known as, and referred to as "The Body of Christ."
And evangelical Protestants is who the "Body of Christ" is in my opinion. When I say "Christians" that is who I am referring to. Not all the others which are not/do not claim to be "born again" that call them selves "Christians". That is the dif. What is wrong with the quote(that i made from the NY Times article)is that there are many "Evangelical Christians" who are of others races/colors other than "white", that didn't make sense to me.
Edit: "Critical thinking skills"....is what I was referring to.

Oh, I see. In your world you can take information, interpret it in your own context to support your own preconceived notion of reality, then loudly proclaim the truth of your conclusion. That must be convenient.
This seems to be SOP, more or less, for just about everyone Wes.
TripL7, don't mind Wes he is dealing with Mormon repression issues.

Wes, you really need to read up on the various definitions of "God Consciousness".
According to the Vedic priest...an example would be comparing a wave to the ocean, blah, blah, blah(not being condescending, just don;t have the time to explain their belief in the Oneness of the universe, etc.....
As a Christian, we can be very aware of His Spirit. And I am sure you have little or more likely zero interest in hearing my"Bah, blah, blah, on the subject.
You are extremely ignorant, arrogant and insulting to demean our relationship with God.
