220? Thats quite a fete........................ He is Darth Vader - he can literally choke people with his brain waves. Of course he is going to have a very high IQ.
I, on the other hand, am a dead guy riding on a horse, chasing Muslims with my lance.

Atheists are religious people.
That's what scientists say. If you don't practice a typical religion you will substitute something and follow it religiously.
You can't help that because humans are hardwired to have religious beliefs. It's in our DNA. You can call it whatever you like, but it's religious in nature.

Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

Pascal’s wager. Atheism is a terrible bet. It gives you no chance of winning the prize.

Here we go with this IQ shyt again. IQ is only one facet of intelligence. Plenty of high IQ people believe the most ridiculous things. Take Isaac Asimov. Considered a person of extremely high IQ he nonetheless could never see that socialism is an inevitable failure. I’ll never forget his stupid unhinged rants about Reaganomics.
High IQ people are often the most foolish people in the room.

No way are atheists more intelligent than believers. Let’s start with St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas; both brilliant.
Venerable Bede
Albertus Magnus
Roger Bacon
Theodoric of Freiburg
Thomas Bradwardine
Jean Buriden
Nicole Oresme
Nicholas of Cusa
Ignazio Danti
Renee Descartes
Giovanni Battista Riccioli
Athanasius Kirchner
All Catholic Christian scientists and this is just a start.

I'll never know if my GCT would have saved me from becoming a grunt since I had already volunteered for artillery - as did my buddy and we both ended up 0811.
By the same token, during ITR, we were told we were selected for OCS. While still being young and foolish, we did know that the life expectancy of a "brown bar" in combat was measured in minutes, maybe hours if lucky ... no thanks.

Atheists tend to be more intelligent than religious people What is the correlation between high IQ and the concern about the problem of evil? What is the relation between high IQ and the desire for a permissive relativistic morality?

IMO, intelligence is the god of atheists.
Sure, but not real intelligence - only the label of intelligence. For example, it is set down by the Leftist elites that all smart people believe in global warming, and the leftist peasants then say, "Well, if I back the global warming [hoax], I'll be one of the smart ones, and I'll be superior to those dumb global warming [hoax] deniers." But the correlation of this belief to actual IQ is non-existent. So, the leftist peasant gets handed a diploma, just like the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, and suddenly he is "smart".

IQ and intelligence are sometimes inversely proportional.
I love Asimov’s books, but his politics sucked..................

I guess they’re referring to idiots like G.K. Chesterton, Max Planck, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien. You know, only utter dolts like them would believe in a Higher Power.

Don’t know about all, but the ones I have met or had a conversation with sure think they are...
To: Lionheartusa1
Actually I hope they are smarter than the rest of us.
Just think about it, they know that the second they die they are NOTHING.
We, on the other hand BELIEVE (and know) that the second we die we will be JUDGED.
(I’m kinda hoping for the best there)
