The Bible says something about a rich man, and a camel through the eye of a needle. Moreover, remember the rich dude who walked away miserable, when he was told what was left of him?

What does it benefit you, to gain the whole world and lose your ....

I love poetry. Spoken word. There's a profound one that asks, why hoard so much when others are suffering?

The last Apologetics I attended, the facilitator, a philosophy student, talked about how he went into it to quell the notion of Christianity/Religion, but the more he dug deeper, the more his faith grew! The more he asked questions, the clearer the answers became!

My brother, you are on the right track.... The answers you seek might just be revealed to you.

Thank you Pastor.Quick question why does the Bible seem biased against the rich.Why is there deliberate efforts to convince us that heaven is only for the poor and the rich people will not see the Kingdom of God.Why are there so many songs about how man forgets about God when he gets rich and only remembers him when he is poor?

You cannot verify faith.In fact if you ask questions you are deemed to have little faith.Faith is believing in something you cannot see.
That brings me to my other theory.The main reason why most religions punish you when you leave them is to act as a deterrent measure to prevent other members from leaving that religion.They give you conditions such as you cannot marry someone from a different religion and make you an outcast so that you don't have an independent opinion about your religious beliefs.

Can you quote a verse?

@PeterReborn, I've gone through the link you've provided on the correlation of high intelligence and decline in belief. And I realize that the content may seem truthful and logical at first glance, but is far from it.

Firstly, the argument is based on some IQ test as a comprehensive measure of intelligence, but this is hardly the case.

I concede that people who score high in IQ tests may show less interest and activity in religion, but this may be an adaptation to an environment and conditions that favor such behavior and rationalizations. For example, a consumerist economy would demand most beneficiaries of it to uphold its values. Most beneficiaries would score high in IQ tests. But consumerism may be at odds with religious belief, hence a person with high IQ may actually lower his religious belief to survive.

But would you expect the economic outsiders to have the same incentive to jettison their beliefs, especially when beliefs are survival tools?

Clearly it's important for us to consider how the human mind works when answering these questions. Let me let you in on something that may have passed your notice. Most 'Churches' in the slums are voodooistic. They are not strictly 'Christian'. That is, there's also a decline in belief even among those who may be said to be of low IQ.

Secondly, decline in some religious belief doesn't necessarily imply atheism. In fact, belief systems are fluid networks and many configurations are available. One can even argue that voodoo is atheistic.

Your argument has too many hasty conclusions, and a possible motive behind it is atheism has been taken as a fashion by some people and cultures.
