Acquaintance from high school married a preacher man, “met” him on FaceBook. Very intelligent and well educated man. His doctorate in divinity is real, he worked for it, absolute expert. His arguments were well crafted and we loved poking each other. Plus, we were both hot pepper fanatics and growers. :)
Here’s the point: That’s the only Christian I’ve met in life that could actually debate Biblical views. I can turn most of them into a raging, spitting, cursing mess with a dozen questions, and they almost never engage for the whole dozen.
Guess I should include my best friend. He was a conservative Southern Baptist, very angry when I announced I had turned to atheism, though he was fine with me as a deist. LOL, I corrupted that fucker. Now he’s an atheist, liberal, and supports gay rights. But again, he’s an exception. His best traits are that he’s intelligent, way more so than I, and best yet, he can admit he’s wrong and is willing to examine his beliefs. Exceptions proving rules and whatnot.
Have these people just never actually read the Bible, or something?
No but they thump it all the time

Being intelligent but believing in a sky papa. I don’t see those two going together.
