- There has been some discussion of IQ versus atheistic tendancies.
- A few points;
-
- I.Q. does seem to be a fairly accurate indicator of someone's _ability_
- to think, however that does not necessarily imply that said person is
- using this ability. Quite often high-IQ types end up in rather uninspiring
- jobs; janitorial & etc. Ask a Mensan what type of person you will meet in this
- high-IQ org. It is my understanding that you will meet people from all walks of
- life. Shit, that YoYo in syndicated publication, Marylin vos Savant is an
- excellent example of a complete & utter _MORON_ with a high IQ. What productive
- things has she done lately?
-
- A better judgement would be the ratio of Succesful scientists, engineers,
- doctors & etc. who are atheist vs. fundie & weather they base their religion on
- reason or emotion...
