[QUOTE="Murph:1003749"][QUOTE="Conservationist:1003715"][QUOTE="Murph:1003669"]I didn't say Christians cannot be smart people, just that it would be impossible to use one's "Christianity" as evidence of any kind of intelligence because it is so removed from an actual "Christian" creed, hence, NOT ACTUALLY CHRISTIAN (I guess one could give points for centuries of inventiveness...another argument, another time) which was arguing an OPINION presented by someone on this board (Conservationist). [/QUOTE] This is as usual my fault. Let's try this take on it: Christianity is words in a Bible. A huge Bible. One that is meant to be approached from any angle and lead to roughly the same area. However, beyond that -- all bets are off. Let's switch from Christianity to Nietzsche. Also words, of a more recent vintage. Equally misunderstood. To dumb people, Nietzsche is a license to steal, fuck, cheat, lie and screw over other people. (Ayn Rand, you stupid fuck, I'm thinking of you here.) To smarter people, Nietzsche is more complex -- not appropriate to go into here, but for sake of argument, let's take that at face value. A dumb person will fuck up Christianity and Nietzsche the same way. A smart person will arrive at alarmingly similar conclusions. Let's take a concept -- "equality." To a smart person, this means meritocracy. We all start out the same, we do the same work, those who do good rise. To a stupid person, equality means subsidies for all of those who consummately fuck up, at the expense of those who don't. Hope this example helped. Apologies for the gratuitous use of the word fuck.[/QUOTE] By the way, as much as we bicker like a couple of old cunts, our politics aren't that far off. Beers' to yo, bud.[/QUOTE]
