Head Shot to Atheism: Why Only Smart People Hate God

Post by _Nightlion »

Those who crave themselves being the smartest are at the same time aware enough that, IF God made all things, their desire to be the smartest guy on the block is not just denied, it is crushed to powder and totally blown away. This explains how they revel in blasphemy and rather than simply be content in the assurance that they are as smart as anyone ever could be, they harp against God endlessly.

Sounds like a mental disorder.

They harp that there is NO evidence, when all things prove God. I mean, DUH! If there is a God then all things DO prove him. Since all things do exist then the fact that there is a God is a given.

Stop the madness.

I know a lot of smart people who don't believe in god, but no one I know hates him. Trump maybe, but not god.

Is the basic premise here that every smart person despises anyone or anything that s/he perceives might be smarter, therefore smart people hate God?

Plenty of smart people and people who want to "be the smartest" believe in God. I can certainly relate to that from my believing days. As the fifth child, and a girl, being smart was one way to get the finite commodity of attention available at home, at school, and at church. Over time, though, that desire to be the smartest turned into the desire just to align myself with truth as much as I could. It became less about being smart and more about loving truth.

Nightlion, I think you could be more productive here if you could acknowledge that people of all stripes, including atheists, can be lovers of truth and seekers of truth, and can have integrity.

Different people have different kinds of intelligence and levels of intelligence. No one has a monopoly on truth.

So the logical inversion of "Only smart people hate God" would be "Only dumb people love God"
