[QUOTE="Conservationist:822360"][QUOTE="Josh_Martin:822322"][QUOTE="Conservationist:822284"]intelligent Christians [/QUOTE] Holy oxymoron part II. I question the intelligence of anyone who worships a zombie back from the dead. That includes my own grandparents. [/QUOTE] I used to feel this way. However, I think people need a unifying narrative to life, and absent science having a clue, people turn toward abstractions. If viewed metaphorically, religion isn't bad at all, and if people were christians like Ralph Waldo Emerson or Johannes Eckhart, I'd be a Christian, too. From a philosophical viewpoint, what is most important is how they structure their beliefs, not what they name it. I think it's telling that our founding Fathers were "Deists," which is a codeword for religious people who like God but think Jesus was a nutball. Interestingly, the type of Christianity that isn't insane -- transcendental idealism, versus symbolic dualism -- tends to be the province of the above-120 crowd. The majority of the smart people I encounter are of this type, and the rest are dispassionate atheists. Apply eugenics, and you get a smarter Christianity... well whoda thunk it.[/QUOTE]
