How often do you feel "stupid"?

RE: How often do you feel "stupid"?
Often.

Working in academia (as a PhD researcher), I always meet people who are generally 'smarter' than I am. Oh well. I can still drink a lot more than they can...that's a form of intelligence, right?

Stupidity is relative isn't it?

I mean if I walked into a church full of people I'd feel like Einstein.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

What if Einstein was in that church? Wink

Einstien was Jewish. What would he be doing in a church?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Who knows. Drinking? "Inter-faith" is the new political buzzword (at least in the UK), so you see all sorts of different folk in different religious buildings nowadays. It's not uncommon to see Jewish community leaders in mosques and vice versa in cities where their 'communities' interact, or when another conflict arises in the middle east.

Or maybe he was just there to tell the church goers that their belief was childlike?

Smoking a bowl in the confessional?
