    I will enlighten you one day, and you will look up from your knees, into my eyes. You will whisper...'god'.

    Agnosticism is the only logical "belief" system.

    More men are logical beings than women.

    Ergo most Agnostics are men.

    I too tend to feel that there are more male than female atheists. And I also notice that no matter which belief a female takes, she tend to be more focused on that belief than the men

    I cannot believe that you two said the above.
    This is the kind of sweeping statement you see from a troll that doesn't know better.
    Down to the back of the class both of ye and a black mark is going on the board.

    Tar is correct, agnosticism is the most logical 'belief'

    It depends entirely on how you define the term agnostic and the term athiest doesnt it?

    I believe you missread it. There is nothing negative about what I said. I am applauding females and saying they are much more focused on their belief.

    Men and women are different, nobody is saying that is a bad thing, much as I would not like to admit it, in my experience what they said is pretty much true...
    Of course it is a sweeping statement and even though quite drunk :o , I would say it holds in a majority of cases.
    Much like I know more men are aggressive bastards and generalisations that are fairly accurate.
    It depends entirely on how you define the term agnostic and the term athiest doesnt it?
    ...and what would be your definition?
    I don't believe it matters on the definition insofar as the logic outcome.

    I cant believe I wasnt informed about this thread, or did it sprout of its own accord,

    Well, I think its the mothering instinct that is reflected to their religious beliefs, and whatnot.

    Go to mass or you ll get no deser and also go to hell, eat your greens or you ll stay small forever.

    When did one father ever make one go to mass or eat their greens, well probably some but not many

    Beruthiel, of course it's a sweeping statement, it's a generalisation. It just happens to be one that appears to hold true. Men are more inclined to trust in logic than women. This isn't necessarily a good or bad thing. It's just a difference that generally exists between the sexes. Of course there are woment that live their lives by logic and men that are ruled by their emotions. But, in general, it seems to be the other way around and the census data would appear to support this.

    Yes, where are all the hot single sexy atheist women?

    I had one there last week, met her a fashionable atheist hangout, took her home 4 a cup of Java, but was all out of Java so had to use nescafe.
    Anyways we had near death sex for about 6 hours, we had apparently and rather unintentionally achieved a kinda tantric episode to which we both finally succumbed, one of the most pleasant evenings I've ever had with a young lady.
    Then in the morning I find her sitting on the couch reading the bible.
    Turns out she lied just to get me into bed and that shes a devout catholic. I felt violated......

    I wonder does 'more women believe in God' tie in with how 'more women believe in Horoscopes, Psychics, Ghosts, Alternative Medicine' etc

    ie they just seem more likely to believe any old crap :D:D
