intelligence doesn't mean cleverness |
I remember saying that the more intelligent you are, the more likely
you are to be an atheist
a lot of you liked that, but intelligence is accepting your talents,
and not thinking that you are clever because of it...

But what if your talent is "being clever"? How, then, can you accept
your talent without thinking you are clever?
(I admit I'm neither clever nor talented enought to untie *that* knot.)

Aside from which, that wouldn't be "intelligence", that would be
"wisdom".

Sounds like an atheist patting himself on the back because no one else will.

You are guilty.
