Indoctrination & Mental Gymnastics

[Lek]

In summary, this complex, dramatic Christian theological concept is obviously a fabrication of much thought and introspective philosophy. Perhaps they could have put all that time and effort into something more constructive. Creating a subservient, subjugative crutch for people with low mental resilience, apparent inability to use reason and logic to comprehend the world around them, and wild imaginations seems unnecessary. In my opinion, religion and faith block the believer’s ability to utilize appropriate epistemological methods to process and gain knowledge. As apparent by the fact that a recent study showed that one fourth of America believed the sun revolved around the earth. This is the perfect example of how religious thought handicaps a person’s ability to learn.

So you say that obviously intelligent, philosophical men wrote the new testament with the intention of coming up with something that would appeal to to ignorant masses. So are you implying that anyone who believes these writings is unintelligent and crippled in their ability to distinguish the truth of the natural world?
