When you use the word 'intelligence', do you mean 'gullibility'?
Webster defines gullibility as follows: easily fooled or cheated; especially : quick to believe something that is not true
So you assert the idea that people of faith are quick to believe something that is not true. In some cases you are correct. In some cases you are wrong. If you can prove to me the absence of God, I am all ears, but until then your assumption of the same reminds me of this situation which was falsely attached to Einstein in a different class situation:
A college class was led by an atheist professor, and every day he'd stand in front of his class and say, "Have you ever seen God?" to which nobody would answer. Then he'd ask, "Have you ever felt God?" and nobody would answer. Finally he'd ask, "Have you ever heard God?" and, like the other times, nobody would answer. He then would say, "It is obvious that there is no God."
One day a Christian student had been having an extremely bad day; her car broke down, her mother was sick, her boyfriend was out of town, and she'd gotten a bad grade on one of her exams. She had been fed up with her professor's little act every morning, so she decided to do something about it.
While the professor stood up at the beginning of class and did his thing, the student had an idea. She got up and said, "Professor, would you mind if I said something?" He said, "Of course not. This is an expressive classroom, and I think it would be fine if you spoke your mind."
The girl said to the class, "Have you ever seen our professor's brain?" and nobody answered. Then she asked, "Have you ever felt our professor's brain?" and nobody answered. Finally she asked, "Have you ever heard our professor's brain?" and, like the other times, nobody answered.
She then said, "It is quite obvious that our professor has no brain."
There is some gullibility being displayed where one assumes with scientific certainty of the non existence of God. My position is simple. I believe there is a god, and I believe in the possibility of Matthew 6. It has guided me quite easily since my Freshman year in high school, and I have never met an intelligent person who can find fault or ignorance in my faith. I find weak minded folks on both sides of the religious debate, but Matthew 6 criticizes the weak minded who stand and pray the loudest that they have it figured out, as the fools who think they have proven the absence of God stand and proclaim all others are fools and gullible. I am very comfortable intellectually with my faith. I have laughed a lifetime on low intelligent folks claiming to prove the absence of God......or those who say they are the only ones who know how to find God......
