I doubt an enlightened individual would be good at anything in particular......he or she might have tried for years to be good at something, and failed, and figured enlightenment would make life complete or relevant.

If Christians wanted to rise church attendance they should serve alcohol at the beginning of mass and not at the end because it would actually be bearable to endure that tedious "party" sloshed than sober.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

That's awful.
My daughter's last name is Moody.
One of the names they tossed out was Avery. I told her she could do that as kids would turn it into A Very Moody girl...she hadn't even thought of that. Having a weird name makes me look at names closely.
I have an aunt whose initials are ASS. She didn't get married till in her 60s so that's what she had from birth.
(Bold mine)
One of my brothers has those initials. He’s still doing better than me (mine are PMS).
