Why Christianity?

[Jenny A]

Hardly.  Only that the school you went to, doesn't necessarily say all that much about you.  I doubt GT grads are more likely to be embezzlers, or that evangelicals are for that matter.

The alma mater does say one thing: some college grads ARE smarter than others. And the fact that some Christians went to really good schools suggests that not all Christians are stupid...a fact that is lost on the crowd here who didn't go to those same schools.

Just sayin'.

I've never said you were stupid, just deluded in a particular area where you use your intelligence to avoid rather than to confront facts.  My brother in law is a bright cookie.  But he condemns the morals of others all the time despite an avarice of his own so large it lead to embellishment.  He jokes about killing people too, but what's a little murder among family?  You shrug off plagiarism.  "Big whoop." 

Skepticism and intelligence are not synonymous and many very intelligent people have blind spots. Newton wasted much time on alchemy and trying to figure out how many angels could sit on the head of a pin.  But he was brilliant.

I'm a bright cookie too.
