We once had a FReeper who claimed to have an extremly high IQ and claimed to be a believer.
I have a high IQ and I am a believer.
What about me—high IQ, advanced science degree, Orthodox Christian, former Lutheran!!!!
If people REALLY were getting more intelligent, they would NEVER be taken in by the clintons or obama! We’d have a new generation of Thomas Jeffersons, John Adamses, James Madisons, and George Washingtons as our leaders.

You have one here. No, I won’t toss out a number, but it qualifies as “high.” I’ve studied and have degrees in many disciplines and have run several businesses.
And Christ is my Lord and Savior.
Incidentally, I know many fairly bright people who aren’t quite as bright as they think. They mock faith. But the truly bright people I know are all Christian or Jewish (one is both - called Mesianic Jew).
167 IQ as I recall, although I think he was just trying to hustle someone.
