Christians are so stupid, they don't realize that atheists are more 'Christian' than they are.

Seriously. If 90% of your ranks consists of people who would stomp Jesus to death in a parking lot if only they could get away with it, then you need to examine if your religion ought to be called "Christianity" in the first place. But that ain't gonna ever happen. Rule # 1 for Christians is "if there is a mote in our eye, leave it there, and let no one question us."

LiveScience || Why Are Atheists Generally Smarter Than Religious People?

For more than a millennium, scholars have noticed a curious correlation: Atheists tend to be more intelligent than religious people.

It's unclear why this trend persists, but researchers of a new study have an idea: Religion is an instinct, they say, and people who can rise above instincts are more intelligent than those who rely on them.

Well, I have to admit that, even when I was a fully indoctrinated Roman Catholic, none of what I had been taught really made any sense to me. As Penn & Teller would have said, "Religion is bullshit!"

Hahaha!  Yes Minimalist, as you say, we are so stupid.  We do in fact believe in miracles.  There really is no difference in miracles and magic from the Christian perspective if you think about it.  Real magic is to harness supernatural force to enforce your will here in this physical plane. Prayer would be considered a form of high magic because it is not intended to bring about the will of the practitioner, but the will of the Creator. Every Freemasons lodge in your town has got a whole library full of such mystical books.  Same goes for any hermetic tradition. The church of satan has books and practices of this nature. islam has such beliefs and practices but no hate or contempt for any of  them huh?  Reason being is because you hate who you are told to hate and give a pass to those you are told to give a pass. And you claim that Christians are indoctrinated? Makes you sound like a dumbed down robotic sheeple. That's a good boy.

Dunno man, magic or miracles are, what dumb people that don't want to know what happened proclaim. AHahaha Magic. Abracadabra dude

Magicians admit they are doing tricks to fool gullible people.  Priests would rather hack off their own balls with a broken bottle than admit that their miracles are bullshit.

That's a significant difference.
