I tried to express the theme of this post before but was basically ignored. Those that didn't understand my theory about "born this way" lack the intelligence to comprehend complicated but perceptive "thoughts".. Those "dummies" are why "idiots" is part of the topic of this post. Idiots is YOU. The brain is very very very "heavy" and weird but unbelievable creative and amazing. Idiot savants are incredible interesting and profoundly hard to explain. Idiot savants is a form of autism. Many idiot savants have difficulty relating to people and can't read or write or do simple tasks. But--yes the but???? Many idiot savants can do fantastic things that seem like science fiction or an episode of Star Trek. There are idiot savants that can play music. They can play on the piano Mozart or Beethoven. That's pretty amazing but more than that some idiot savants have perfect "pitch" and can repeat a melody or concerto by just "hearing" it " once. Pretty fucking amazing.
As incredible idiot savants can be-the next phenomenon will blow your fucking mind. There are a few people(maybe 10 or less) who can remember everything they have experienced with detail. As an example they can remember being at a baseball game they attended 20 years before. They don't just remember being at the game but can remember how many hotdogs they ate, the teams that played, who they were with, and the final score. You may not know what you had for dinner yesterday but these people remember everything they have experienced in their life with accurate detail. For those who don't know what I am talking about this phenomenon is so spectacular it would be impossible for you to believe.
The reason this is related to atheism is because the brain is complicated and difficult to comprehend. If the "brain" is spooky and hard to understand-the range of thought, ideas, beliefs, can be spooky. As idiot savants or those people who can remember "everything" -everyone's brains are filled with different predetermined synapses (brain capabilities, abilities, or deficiencies). What does all this mean????? What does this have to do with atheism.????? To a certain extent everyone is predetermined by the brain to do or believe different things. It is true many Christians and Moslems are conditioned to believe in God but that reinforcement is accepted or rejected by logic, intelligence or THE PREDETERMINED susceptibility to "belief" in God.
To a certain extent you are born to be an atheist or a theist and everything in between. You are born to be a homosexual or heterosexual or everything in between(bi-sexual). This is an interesting complicated and difficult for most of you to understand -that is why IDIOT is in the title of this post. You may be an idiot but it could be worse and you may be a moron dummy. God Bless.
This post will probably be ignored because many of you are too lazy or stupid to understand it. God Bless

The reason it was ignored is:
A. There is NO reason to believe there is a genetic link to atheism, it isn't even inheritable. The vast majority of us come from religious households, so if religion is genetic, we should be religious. The argument is specious and has absolutely NO evidence for it. The argument you are trying to make is based on semantics and circular reasoning, the exact kind religious apologists use, so no one takes it seriously.
B. Last time you spelled "savant" as "servant"
C. You are a fucking moron, an no one has enough time to feed you every time you feel like trolling.
Travis-smile-kisses-hugs-and good tidings. Have a wonderful day. I shouldn't waste my time talking to an idiot. Richard Dawkins and others believe their is an evolutionary reason for belief in God. If that is true and I believe it is taking it one step further there could be a genetic cause for atheism. Not an absolute direct cause but a predisposition. You can't understand what I am talking about because you are a dope and a dumbass. God Bless....... You prove yourself a sick dummy because you remember I spelled savant--servant -like that is somehow a big deal. Travis you are a simpleton. God Bless
It's 'there' not 'their', your Anal Wartiness.
No, they don't believe that "belief in god" itself is evolutionary, but the kind of thinking that allows and produces it is. Let us say you are stumbling around in the dark and you hear a noise, we will instinctively consider the cause of the noise a threat before knowing what made it, because instinct doesn't give a fuck about reason. However, thanks to our ability to reason, many of us are capable of tempering our reactions and beliefs with our ability to reason and comprehend the situation. Not because we are mutant superheroes capable of cognitive feats unknown to normal man, but because we have trained our minds to do so. We still have the SAME instincts, the same neurology, just different levels of comprehension.
Much like our primitive ancestors, theists today automatically infer purpose and intent behind natural processes like disease and natural disasters, and for identical reasons. Fear and a need to control. Atheists are simply people who train themselves not to make such inferences, and attempt to not fall prey to our natural inclinations to make shit up to explain the unknown.
It is nearly as genetic as tattoos.
Travis-Your response to my theory about there is a predisposition to atheism or theism and its relationship to evolution is more thought out than I expected of you. I still think your a dummy but you did give a reasonable answer to a different question. People are predisposed to art skills or music or athletics or coordination, or math or language or many things. Heterosexuals are predisposed to being straight.. Homosexuals are predisposed to being gay. Conditioning is a huge factor in becoming a Christian or Muslim or a racist or a tea party republican. Conditioning for better or worse is all over the place. But there is something else going on!!! Just as human beings are predisposed to be good in math or music also they may have a tendency to be an atheist or theist. This "thing" is not absolute but has an influence which way a person may think about God. God works in mysterious ways and so does "this" mysterious thing that influences the way we think. Travis I don't expect you to understand because like I said your a dummy!!!!! God Bless
"Your response to my theory about there is a predisposition to atheism or theism and its relationship to evolution is more thought out than I expected of you."
That's surprising, considering I have been in college longer than you were in High School.
"I still think your a dummy but you did give a reasonable answer to a different question."
I realize that you probably didn't understand the entirety of my answer, but that doesn't mean it was to a different question. It addressed your question quite reasonably and directly, even if you are incapable of recognizing it.
"People are predisposed to art skills or music or athletics or coordination, or math or language or many things."
Conflation. While some people are born with certain genetic advantages, that doesn't mean they are the only ones capable of those things. I was born to be a rather large person, I am built like a wall, but I focus more on my cognitive than physical skills. As such, you are probably a better football player than I am since I haven't played in 15 years, but I could easily kick your ass in calculating the quantum oscillations of an energy wave.
Likewise, thanks to neuroplasticity, exposing people to things like math or science young makes them much more talented in those areas, even without any genetic predisposition for them. The more you do something, the better you will get at it, physically AND mentally. So your argument is almost as strong as wet toilet paper in a fucking hurricane.
Genetics is not fate.
"Heterosexuals are predisposed to being straight.. Homosexuals are predisposed to being gay."
I think the last time you made this argument, I destroyed it thoroughly, with sources even. You'll have to forgive me if I don't feel like going over the same old shit with you time and time again. There is little to no reason to believe sexuality is genetically predisposed or even genetically heritable, and most evidence seems to point to it being a psycho-physiological phenomena that simply happens to some people for a variety of reasons not well or completely understood.
The fact that someone doesn't know something is not an adequate reason to assume that genetics, fate, or fairies are the sole cause of it. Some of us have a higher risk of diabetes and heart disease because of genetics, but with the right changes in lifestyle and diet, many of us will never get either one of these terrible conditions.
Genetics in this arena does not function the way you seem to think it does.
"Conditioning is a huge factor in becoming a Christian or Muslim or a racist or a tea party republican. Conditioning for better or worse is all over the place."
Indeed, and has been directly linked as the primary factor in all of these things.
"But there is something else going on!!!"
Really? Then prove it with evidence, not just baseless conjecture and even more baseless assertions, or shut the fuck up about it. It is not my job to disprove your claim, even though I have, it is actually your fucking job to prove it. God fucking damn, you are almost as bad as creationists.
"Just as human beings are predisposed to be good in math or music also they may have a tendency to be an atheist or theist."
They may also have a tendency to like fucking stuffed animals, but if you can't prove it, it isn't genetic or scientific by any measure.
"This "thing" is not absolute but has an influence which way a person may think about God. God works in mysterious ways and so does "this" mysterious thing that influences the way we think. Travis I don't expect you to understand because like I said your a dummy!!!!! "
P. R. O. V. E. I. T.
Either that, or shut the fuck up, otherwise you are just as bad as Hovind, Ham, and Comfort.
You cannot possibly expect any reasonable person to simply accept your claim without any significant evidence, unless you also really believe some rural farmers from Alabama are routinely abducted and anally violated by extraterrestrial visitors for the same reason, you fucking hypocrite.
Nutmeg-Your so lovely- not that there is nothing wrong with that
I make no claim to physical beauty, of that there is no doubt. But I can spell, and exhibit correct grammar, and produce paragraphs.
Some people think that these things are trivial, mere details, but they're not: one should treat one's audience with respect and try to ensure that their literary experience is as pleasant as possible. Even if that means expending some small effort to correct errors.
Nutmeg--are you serious???? "Some people think that these things are trivial.. Imbecile they are trivial-idiot.. :one should treat one's audience with respect and try to ensure that their literary experience is as pleasant as possible....hahahahahahahhahehehehehehhahahahahhehehehehahahahahahehehehehehehehhheheehehehehhhahahahahahahahhahheheheheheheheheehehehhhhahahahaahheheh--Nutmeg you are truly a moron. God Bless
You are a star, of that there is no doubt.
Indeed, like Tom Cruise, but only half as shitfaced insane.
That is really funny.
