Workch:
should we use Sunday school class test to reach a conclusion that is meant to measure intelligence quotient?

You are the jury and the judge, so decide. I am only at your service. As you talk am, nah so it is. grin

But I hopeful hope that this your acclaimed high IQ is beyond paper and test, that you are using it to transform your business, work environment and people around you. The result of IQ is not on nairaland or online test it is found in your impact and relationship with others.

IQ doesn't mean you wont do well in your particular business. If you had an IQ above average, you would figure that out.
Low IQ means you will struggles when matters that has to do with critical reasoning confront you, it doesn't mean that you can't do well in a business you have learned or do well in jobs requiring directives.

You keep proving this study right with every post you make that theists are on the average less intelligent. You don't even know how IQ work

It's not bragging, it's reality which is hard to swallow.

It takes an IQ above average to be able to question religion and this doesn't mean that we don't have extraordinarily smart religious people, it only proves that religion is most likely harboring the extremely stupid set of people in the society. We have seen that consistently in their inability to grasp basic concepts.
Religion is also a heaven for conspiracy theories because it harbors the most irrational people in the society.

This is a massive reddit moment you're having right here. I'm an atheist and there are religious people that I'm smarter than. Likewise, there are those who are smarter than me.

I didn't suddenly become smarter than I used to be once I started questioning religion. Also, there are atheists who fall into the same logical pitfalls that you believe only religious people fall into.

So what? Even if its true that on average atheists score higher on IQ tests, it's pure cringe to be posting it online to our en religious people.

I guess you are speaking of selling garri as business or selling data?

I doubt if you run a "business" nor be around top strategist who have assignment of scaling businesses since you think critical think starts and end in atheist and theist argument.

You will surely do well in skitting. grin grin

@LordReed we once discussed this. That so called atheist always claim to be higher in intelligence but you said you never read that before on NL. Now you have it. Prof Workch has done it again. grin

I had to go searching for the previous discussion in other to respond to this. Turns out what you said was "I thought they said atheists were full of knowledge" so please relate it to the OP.

You need to read through the thread you quoted above and see our discussion. It was premised on that fact that, Some atheist claim that their intelligent is superior to the theist because they aren't religious. But you claimed you haven't seen such before. Now I have shown you one here.

You're welcomed dear.

The welfare of our Master's sheep is very important to us, that's why we do our best to guide them, and pray for them everyday so they'd remain on course and not go astray, and you're His sheep, aren't you?

So it's no big deal... I'm just doing my job.

However you have to also do yours and try and stay on track, so that our job would be made easier.

God bless u too sis.

Thank you, really, for checking up on me.

People are intelligent in different ways and in different areas of life, whether theist or not. But when it comes to religion, faith and beliefs, theists tend to throw away logic. Most of the things they say could make one doubt their intelligence.
So I'd say, religious folks are less intelligent when their beliefs are involved.

When two men (politicians) comes out saying they want to fight for the right of their people (less privileged) instead of handling them boxing gloves and taking them to the boxing ring. The less privileged will pick up weapons in support of either sides and start killing one another while those who claimed they're fighting are in the club popping champagne!

Who are the intelligent ones that's not carrying weapons against one another in support of this liars?

Well that is what intelligence truly means! wink

After i left religion, I now understand the value of logic and critical thinking. Which I would have looked down upon if I wasotherwise still very religious.


I don't know. I haven't left religion and I still think logically and critically.

A pastor says, "Everybody wear white to Church next Sunday because it's Easter", I question it. What's the rationale behind it before you initiate me into witchcraft grin
A pastor says, "Bring a hefty offering to Church next week. We will use it to redeem our souls" I question it. I ask if Jesus blood has expired. Why do we need money to redeem our souls?
A pastor says pray stark naked at midnight. I question it. Won't God hear us fully clothed?

These were true scenarios.

I don't follow blindly. I read the Bible for myself.

But I do see where you are coming from. Only dunces would strip naked before the congregation and allow their pastor's to wash and shave their pubic hair cry

Only dunces would suck their pastor's BJ because he said his semen is holy milk cry

The things some people do in the name of religion beats me sometimes but we can't all be classified under the same umbrella.

It was a professor, a learned man, an atheist, who gave all his pension/life savings to a money doubler, who ran away. A whole professor grin

If you think critically and logically like you claimed, do you really believe that

1. Donkeys and Snakes can talk?

2. 7 billion people can arise from a Adam and Eve and their two sons?

3. Carnivores and Herbivores coexisted in the same boat for years?

I could go on..if you're a critical thinker how have you examined the anonymous authors of the Bible and the fact that the book was written many years after the said events occurred?

Can you share how have you been a le to reconcile this with your "logical thinking?"

This is one of the reasons I like you, you are quite reasonable even if I don't agree or believe as you do. It is baffling how people loose all sense of proportion in the name of religion.
