We have certain members here, whom I won't call out by naming, who put up with daily abuse (they're morons, idiots, etc. -- I'm guilty of indulging in this abuse myself) but who are clearly not idiots. In fact, some of them strike me as rather intelligent. It's their predetermined conclusions -- those things that simply must be true due to the faith they place in their holy book(s) -- that are stupid. Now, I'm not about to argue that it's not stupid to place such faith in these books (in my opinion, it is), but intelligence seems less the issue than emotional commitment and need. People don't put themselves through such strain and mental contortion unless they are trying their damnedest to protect something dear to them -- even at the cost of intellectual integrity.
