I did not say intellectuals would not believe in organized religion. I'm saying it would be harder for them to.
For fucks sake, I don't know why I bother.

(Oct 25 07, 07:06)Thanks for clarifying. Of course it's harder, I see your point now. People who pride themselves on their intellectual prowess find it VERY hard indeed to concede that there might be a greater mind out there than anything ever produced by human birth.
Like Jesus said about rich people" "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kindgom of heaven". The same can be said for those who idolize the logical power of their own brains.
Everyone has a hang-up of some sort that makes faith a tough pill to swallow. We're all handicapped in some way, not just the rich or the intelligentsia.
