Since a little philosophy inclines man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy brings men's minds?

about to religion, is it not a shame that our atheist community members did not complete their education?

Back to school guys and gals.

    a little philosophy inclines man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy brings men's minds about to banjo playing?

    Are you sure that's right?

    I would say that philosophy brings men's minds to spirituality, but not necessarily religion. Outside forces bring people to religion, as religion is an outside thing. it is learned, not inherent.

    Spirituality is inherent. Whether you practice it or not, to some degree, everyone is spiritual. And philosophers (I speak of the ones I am familiar with, not all of them) are of the most spiritual people.

    But I also think that spirituality itself tends to draw people towards religion, of some sort. I just think the distinction is necessary.

    Interesting assertion - that the more philosophy people know, the more they're inclined toward religion. I'd be very interested in seeing your source for this information unless, as I suspect, the source is your butt.

    True. I am a religious gnostic atheist. I'm even an ordained minister. I'm definitely a philosopher, because I tell people I'm a philosopher. I never got that degree, and I'm trying to find a school that will pay me to go to them.

    Hunter agrees with Haunter, religion is more ceremonial while spiritually is more the actual seeking and questioning.

    Ad hominem is a logical fallacy - back to school and learn how to construct a valid argument.

    I have a degree in philosophy and philosophy leads inexorably to atheism

    Any thinking person must be agnostic.
