Then their IQ goes right out the window. Most of these people are intelligent in spite of their religious beliefs, not because of them. They employ a entirely different set of standards when it comes to their religion than they do when it comes to anything else. They believe for emotional, not intellectual reasons. Just once I'd love to see a theist who holds their religious beliefs rationally, with objective and demonstrable evidence for their particular deity, that they can actually produce for others to see and are willing to evaluate their faith in light of reason, not wishful thinking.Well that's kind of like asking for a dry rain or a hot ice cream now isn't it?
But we all know that simply doesn't exist.
But if this was a legitimate belief system, it should be possible to find. That it isn't proves just how idiotic religion is.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
