So what if atheists would have a higher IQ? It's quite possible because they are always finageling everything and have no trust in a "higher power" and try to control everything with their brain. It is well known in recoery circles that thinking thinking thinking is not always the best way. How about some heart and some intution? If you are in fact a little bit more intelligent than the rest of us how does it really help you? |

Love it! An overt condemnation of thinking itself! Worthy of St. Augustine.
I genuinely believe that if the Culture War were to continue for thousands of years to further separate people into groups that do not interact, isolated populations will result, and eventually there will be a speciation event.
Will we see the branching of Homo skeptomai and Homo credere into two species? |
