I wouldn’t be a Christian

She was a Jew who learned to read ancient Greek by age 12, and graduated first in her class in philosophy from the École Normale Supérieure (Simone de Beauvoir came second that year). She turned to Christian mysticism via Plato.

If a person were to become convinced of the truth of Weil's God, and became a Christian because of it, it would be exactly the opposite of showing obeisance to a tyrannical sky-daddy.

Why do we always assume that when a person becomes a Christian he becomes a stupid one?

Are you trying to argue that gods based on Christian mysticism and Plato aren't stupid? Okay. I'm all ears. Give it your best shot.
