I have never suggested that anyone is stupid just because they are religious. I think that there is a fair basis for believing in an unknown, generalised higher power beyond human comprehension (that might be called a "god") if one is so inclined.

Now what I think you're referring to...

Is the fact that I have stated repeatedly, and maintain 100% as my opinion, that belief in and following of an organised human religion is illogical, and is usually based in either parental indoctrination or trauma (or both) rather than objective reasoning.

If you feel the need to continue to dumb that statement down to fit your agenda, then feel free to continue to do so, and I'll continue to post the correction.

One man's "dumbing down" is another man's paraphrasing. Or indeed... womans.

Saying that organised religion is illogical and based on parental indoctrination... that's me you're referring to. And while you have never said outright that I am stupid, I just summed it up for you. I can't be illogical and intoctrinated... and intelligent. Non believers don't understand faith. Faith is indescribable, like love. You know it when you feel it but you can't explain it.

Aaaanyhoo... back to the topic...
