"Intellect is egotistical, it has nothing to do with faith"
"Brains aren't needed for salvation, most belivers couldn't read"
"Your mind is leading you straight to hell"
"Hell was built for the scientists and smartarses"
I actually agree there are some things beyond the perception capacities of the human senses (We can see the world from how our eyes detect it, but that could be just how our eyes perceive it, not how the world really is; like the colorblind for instance, the apple is no less red just because they can't see it), but to discount reason altogether as evil?
