The Logic of Atheists vs. Theist Arguments

[Unbeliever]

Yeah, some people are more isosceles.

Methodology at the bottom of the linked page.  The religion questions are in Section 4.

Belief among scientists, still at 33%.

The public think of science as high tech plus free lunch.  They don't have a useful view of it.  High tech is particularly useful for weapons.  And a free lunch by technology is the same as any free lunch ... BS.

Insanity.  Is this a crossover to the word game?  ;)

Exactly.  Breathing.  Completely insane production of CO2.

Well, you can always get lucky.  But yeah, if you mess up 19 what are the odds on the 20th?

Talk to Hakurei.  Your grasp of statistics is lacking.  Typical government drone.

I wouldn't bother on that topic with you.  But not everyone is so obtuse.

I'm less than 90⁰ but more than 180⁰

I take your comments as hyperbolic  ;-)

I have an aversion for negative curvature.

I think you have aversion to negative interest too, which is good.

Negative interest is to stimulate spending, good for the economy, but I don't want Trump to win...

So utopia is -100% interest?  Sounds good for the banks ;-(

Wrong concept: negative interest means more spending from consumers, less money in banks.

I always thought negative interest was what women looked at me with.

Belief among scientists, still at 33%.

Meh... "Belief" is too broad, too sweeping. As my fiancee, my wife claimed that she believed in God. I asked her to describe God. She described a vague sense of what some have called "belief in belief". When I told her bluntly, "That's not God", she agreed. She just never thought about it much and didn't want to offend people.

You see this happening worldwide. Although many people claim to be an adherent of a region, when pressed for details on what they actually believe the specifics would have gotten them stoned to death or put on the rack when religion had real power.

And you had positive interest in those women... positive attracts negative...

You just flunked economics for the second time (since when we first locked horns).  But I promise not to tell anyone.

People could choose to take all their money out of the banks, and spend it all at once, to avoid the negative interest.  But that isn't healthy consumerism.

If they leave their money in the bank under those conditions, the consumer accounts drop to zero, but the bank's own balance sheet looks great.
