Yes there are many dumb religious people, and dumber evolutionists. That is why it is so hard to convert them to Christianity. Perhaps that is God's will.

HalleluYah !!! Praise the LORD! Holy! Holy! Holy!

Every mother's son reading and/or contributing to this online spirituality forum is grossly ignorant on different topics.

We skeptics thought we'd send over one of our own who can manage to be your intellectual equal.

Bwahahahaha.

Happy 4th, sucker.

Obviously, this thread is meant ironically, though the correlation between IQ (or usage
thereof) and religious beliefs is a good debating point, I think.

I think you're deliberately missing the obvious irony.

It should be noted that some exceptional minds were theists, Issac Newton and Robert Fischer just by way of example. The idea that a belief in theism must be accompanied by low intelligence is difficult to source. I suspect that there are slapheads in both camps, however the idea that theism or atheism contributes to or causes low intelligence is unfounded in my mind.
