There definitely is a connection between the two, depending on the circumstances the intellect or the emotions influence our decisions in certain situations. For example: you are offered a promotion at work, if you accept it you will have to work everyday with a colleague that you strongly dislike for some reasons, but your new position will bring you a much needed pay raise. The odds are higher for an emotional person to refuse the promotion whilst an intellectual might try to find a compromise.
Personally, it's not God I dislike, it's his fan club I can't stand.
