A recent study came out that showed that believing one incomprehensible thing paves the way for you to believe more even more incomprehensible things. It's not that you're less intelligent. It's that you choose to not demand evidence, which is entirely common among religious. They're EVEN TOLD that to demand substantiation for a claim is "faithless." You hear it all the time. Well, it's not FAITH if you want proof. The concept of faith has gotten twisted into a measurement of loyalty by gullibility. But the actual point of putting your faith in anything - be it the government, education, or pretty sparkly ponies, is your experience, not your ability to override your own reason.

Personally I believe Christianity attracts fearful people, it is exactly that fear that religion exploits. It truly is sad.
