If you consider Aquinas to be “deep intellectual and theological thinking”, then it explains your odd answers.
Wow! Go tell that to Oxford University where Aquinas’ “Summa Theologica” is placed next to the Bible at the famous Bodelian Library! No we know how and from where street preachers like the David Koreshs, Jim Jones’, Schullers, the Grahams, and Rev. Wrights get their congregations from. Nice way to build up small fortunes for themselves and the support of their families with suckers born every minute. Joel Osteen is a prime example.
