this is the attitude that people respond to. "A myth.... Just like your God."

I don't see anyone of faith in this thread talking down to those who are athiests in such a way. It is insulting in that is seems to show that you feel above those who worship God.

I've had friends who placed intelligence above goodness in the scale of important virtues. Of course, those that placed intelligence first and foremost are currently, 12 years after graduating college, paralyzed by the workforce. They are unable to "lower themselves" to a job beneath them.

Not saying that the goodness is Godliness. Nope, not at all. But, a certain pride that is dismissive of other people because they aren't as smart as you? Nope... not gonna end well for the poster.
