Re: who are the wise
Hi, Trustbank.
This is a message sent to all who find their way to these forums. We like people, and we like facts too! We're friendly but we're skeptical, and if somebody calls for proof, it's not an accusation. Only the strong ideas thrive here: we try to respect people. (We do not tolerate personal abuse.) You may already have visited these other handy places: * New Member Information * Welcome from AFA president * For those interested in learning, I recommend the Atheism Resource Thread maintained by Fearless. * And a quick look at our reserved spot for belief-based discussion, Fantasy Island, includes The Great Big List, a sort-of "things we've seen before" for those of faith, and general rules of argument for the forum. If you've got questions, please ask. Moderators have red name tags, but many of our friendly people may have the answers you need. Enjoy the forums. We hope to see plenty from you in discussions. Have fun.

Re: who are the wise
Hi trustbank
Welcome. That saying always makes me think of that other saying : If you can believe one thing on faith, then you can be led to believe anything at all.

Hi TB, welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your time here.

 There's also a good one along the lines of "those who can be made to believe in absurdities, can be made to commit atrocities". But of course, I wouldn't leap to judge a diverse group of people merely via superficial comparison against a snappy alleged truism. No doubt you're not doing that either, are you...  Oh, and one more question: you've purportedly got the men covered, but what about women who allegedly "stand for nothing"? What's the deal with them?

G'day trustbank and welcome to the forum.
I used to get things like that on my bus tickets to school as well, do you have the "freedom of speech does not mean shouting fire in a crowded cinema" one?

Re: who are the wise
Meh. I'd rather be happy than wise any day.
