Being smart is one thing. How you use it is quite another.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Yep. Three quarters of the world's population are brought up to believe one or other mythology.

my upbringing was mostly irreligious, although for lots of it i was immersed in the american bible belt.

found religion on my own and then lost it again.


set the function, not the mechanism.

To be smart about one thing is to be dumb about other things. Apparently, Einstein wore several clothes that were exactly the same.

No one

I don't wear any clothes.

Asmodean

The Asmo may or may not wear no pants sometimes when He plays computer games. :smilenod:

...Because why would (or wouldn't) He?

In Asmo's grey lump,
wrath and dark clouds gather force.
Luxembourg trembles.

No one

You don't have any legs. Pants would be preposterous.

Asmodean

Some may say "preposterous," other Asmos may say "aspirational." :smilenod:

Why are exactly the same clothes dumb?
Sound's efficient to me, especially socks.

There's your problem.
No wonder you have that self hate thing.
Get some clothes, the less you see of yourself the better you'll feel about yourself.
The less he'll feel himself?
Ye that too, abstinence is next to godliness.
Oh ye, I think Huxley said something about that.

Most people?
More than half the people in the world?
Maybe, but I think we need to be scientific about this.
People are mentally handicapped by lots of things, screaming children, toothaches/aches in general, the stress of finding a pair of matching socks, genetic inheritance, drugs they resort to because of sock issues. 
I can see there is a lot of work to do here.
I'm not going to do it though, science is spectator sport for me.
Only the highlights though.
Oh shit ye, don't bore me with the drudgery.

I don't wear socks because I can't be bothered by them.
