Had a very interesting conversation with my ex-. I was telling her about our group and how happy I am to be part of this family. I was telling her how everyone I've met is very well educated, or well accomplished, or at least well-rounded in life-experiences. Then, I commented, "You know, basically intelligent, well-rounded folk." At which point she said something very telling..."Yes, intelligent people have never had a need for God; it is only simple, trusting souls like myself who have faith enough to lean on, and trust God."
Now, I know that she meant her statement as a jab against me, agnostics, and atheists, but it was telling that she said what she unknowingly said...
"INTELLIGENT PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HAD A NEED FOR GOD..."
