High IQ religious people

[Anonymous No.15055354]

Isn’t it wild that some religious people are high IQ? Capable of dissecting and interpreting a massive book word for word, interpreting each reference in a historical context and commiting to memory thousands and thousands of prayers and ideas

Many pastors I’ve met are quite intelligent, quick witted people.

So I ask: why do smart people become religious? You have to literally be a fucking mouthbreathing retard to believe in the bible, so why do otherwise smart people fall victim?

It is not wild, your hypothesis is wrong.

>why do smart people become religious
A variety of reasons. Some were raised that way and fear of hell can be impossible to uproot with strict logic. The ones at church I knew growing up sought a mixture of community and simply had some faith in a benevolent creator. It's not hard to think with enough understanding of physics and biology one might just figure this shit all fits together too perfectly to not have had some intention behind its design.

Then there are the many religions, especially as you go East, where the gods, beings and practices are more symbolic of our consciousness, condition as humans, or take radically different metaphysical views like gnosticism, some of which end up being manuals to fixing your own condition and understanding it, which in practice superficially look similar to western and Abrahamic faiths. Thinking all religion is listening to sky god tell you not to masturbate is deliberately ignorant.

Scientific materialism is a philosophical stance, not an objective truth. There is no falsifiable answer regarding us, this place, its creation, or what comes next for us if anything at all.

What you are talking about, te bible, is religion, so i understand. the bible is really analytical and useful for practicing intellectual skills, understanding it's word. it's legal. legal professions are known as high iq. as high iq they tell the populace what to believe, including so called smart people. when the actual priests and frens grow up, sometimes the other iq-like frens filter the religion out because they are not that easily fooled. as far as old people. none of them are really religious, unless they have health conditions/close to death. they are coping with prayer/worship/group hypnosis. that's why they perceive you so well, because they have attenuated the human design and can manipulate visually the orientation towards space and matter of people around them.

as for buddhism/philosophy- people in this generation have a veil over their eyes and can't see just how fallacious it really is, because they have tunnel vision so that's why so many are falling for it. sometimes it's encouraged to think a certain way, preached, and the mind machine as such assimilates to a specific form of psyche/somatic. so they remain ignorant or narrow minded. they are in fact just dull and patient with nothing which is useful to get good grades.

as far as it good for survival? it really is, it's a coping mechanism and helps one get along in society doing what ones told and making attendance/ritual. it's not useful to the view towards the future, the reality principle. it's just echochambers and fantasies.

they remain useful herds and mental curds. Jews and muslims? no clue. never been there. i'm think it's all pipedreams.

religion is a good resource to grind your axe. but not really honest, and no one said it was! :) therefore we should put it down/give it a brake. maybe the one awkard kid who has no science skills needs to practice religion?

Man is not complete without faith and love, without the capacity to place our destiny in the hands of a higher power you are literally living exclusively through the reptile mind, the amygdala is running the show for these types. It is a stressful and maddening situation for them to exist with such dominance from one region of the brain. Atheists are incomplete.

cont.

and when I pull out my hinduish (christian->theistic stanist (which I have no comment on)->buddhism->atheist/confused dissociative schizo->random!)... I realize that i'm just doing random rituals to cope/git gud. and it works. maybe we are just exercising the animal lobes and layers of the mind in this, and it makes you more in tune with your body, 'soul', and the universe. getting mentally well with your roots.
there are other things to do with this. and taking those roots and nourishing them, nothing else... that's how I see it right now. still practice buddhism meditation and cosmic prayers/divine group think and hypnosis.

There is a strong correlation between religiousity and lower IQ. The truth is that the smart people are not actually religious or they are not actually smart. The smart "religious" people are gifters part of a predatory community because they are sadistic pieces of shit that want to prey on children and whoever else they can. They enjoy making other people suffer. That's why its important we burn down all our faggy chruches and replace them with something usefull that isn't build for retarded psychopaths to destroy society.
Any private religious school, any church, anything made for religious purposes should be demonlished ASAP. The leaders of these predatory cults should then be locked up for life.

He is from the 1700s, when everyone was retarded and needed to be or they were ostracized. Smart people being religious back then was likely just for PR. If you are religious in the 21st century, you are retarded.
> If they were religious they wouldn't be sadistic
1. Smart people aren't actually religous, they are pretending
2. Religious people don't actually change their morals if they believe they will be punished by a god. They still have their own morals dictated by their own brains even if they are too stupid to know it. A religious psychopath is still a psychopath and will act like one regardless. Just see religious people acting in the real world. They are mentally retarded and believe in hell, yet they will still find any way they can to pray on people, for example trying to force gays into suicide, molest children, or spread pseudoscience.

That's a fake Heisenberg quote, gullible christcuck.

[Anonymous No.15055632]

Stockholm Syndrome isn't rational by any means, yet it happens. Same with these people, they might be smart regarding STEM, but they're dumb regarding psyops. What you'll see them generally do is throw out the basis of science, which is to show replicable proof of your claims, with arguments born from mental gymasting, usually to cope with the yet unexplainable, because they are more prone to mental unstability.
An example of this is the "le intelligent design" argument to try and find an explanation for how everything ties to everything supposedly so seamlessly, which has its roots in the age old question of "how we came to be?". This argument, however, ignores many of the facts regarding biology and chemistry, many of which most kids nowadays learn in school, reason why there's an increase in atheists, agnostics or, generally, just areligious people.
Christcucks just can't cope with the fact they worship a jewish cuck on a stick and have spat on their ancestors for millenias, thus, they engage in the sunken cost fallacy.

He is a religious symbol symbol, not a moral one. If it was just about morals then why doesn't everyone just admit that the bible is a mythology book and has no basis in reality? It's because religion is a literal belief in the supernatural. Religion is for idiots.

Most great scientists and mathematicians that achieved most were religious, whereas the majority of anti-religious scientists have achieved essentially nothing of note.
Consider Enoch for example, he achieved so much in the field of mathematics just to understand God, and he was even largely successful.
The problem is the established churches would hate his results.

He was probably quoting his friend Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker who used the quote often in his lectures and believed it to be an old adage among German physicists.

“Nach einem alten Satz trennt uns der erste Schluck aus dem Becher der Erkenntnis von Gott, aber auf dem Grunde des Bechers wartet Gott auf den, der ihn sucht.” - from his summer 1946 lectures.

It's a takeoff on Francis Bacon's commentary that: “A little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion.”

Not to mention, the only one claiming that quote doesn't belong to Heisenberg was a lad who did a biography of him who says this quote doesn't match his patter of speaking. Yeah, no shit it doesn't if he was quoting someone else. Besides it's irrelevant:
>Heisenberg, a devout Christian,[148][149] wrote: "We can console ourselves that the good Lord God would know the position of the [subatomic] particles, thus He would let the causality principle continue to have validity", in his last letter to Albert Einstein.[150]
He was still a devout Christian and believed in God. Atheists can't come to terms that the founding father of quantum mechanics, the same framework that enables them to fantasize about many worlds sci-fi gunk, wasn't an atheist like themselves.
