IQ & Atheism

[David Morris]

-------------------------------------------
Doublethink:
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness
while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two
opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and
believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate
morality while laying claim to it
---------------------------------------------

I'm not an expert on early Christian history/theology, but I think
Incarnation wasn't a widely-accepted belief for the earliest
Christians.  The First Council of Nicaea was convened to "lay down the
law" on the Incarnation in 325 AD.  How widespread belief in
Incarnation was before that is a matter widely debated.

But beyond that, if one rejects fundamentalism, all else is a matter
of personal, not official belief, and thus only as dumb as the
individual.
