Intelligent Christians

Why is Christianity associated with unintelligent followers? Why does this guy think when someone gains knowledge they become a Atheist?
Intelligent people ‘less likely to believe in God’

because they don’t take the time to actually study and seek truth. Someone informed them that to rely on religion is a a psychological problem in which the person has come up with a crutch that helps them through life. These people believe this instead of taking the time to do a thorough examination of the proofs of what we believe. This in fact is less intelligent. Furthermore, most people give the benefit of a complete exploratory study to other areas of study such as biochemistry, but refuse when it comes to religion, because it’s not “scientific.” I was seventh in a class of 300 something in high school, maintained a 4.0 in college and graduated with honors and I still believe in Christ.

I think the problem comes when we confuse religion and relationship. More thoughts later. This was reactionary.

b/s last blog post..challenging questions

Because it requires us to be dependent on something other than our self, which many feel makes us stupid. That is a very deep question but people like that think the smarter you are the more you can figure out that religion is for addicts and users that have reached rock bottom, no one else. Course we are all broken, but you have to be able to have a heart that can submit to something other than self.
