i have to agree with you on this, but there are two typpes of very religious people, their are the ones who were braught up in a family were religion and god were shoved down their throats and its all they know and if they every question any of it they were punished and told they would spend an eternity in hell if they ever question their belifes again,and if they did keep questioning it they became the outcast of their family and community, looked down upon like thhhey were so fucked up in the head, b.c thier parents were raised the same way as were their parents parents and generations beofre etc. these are the extremely unintellegent people who blindly belive every word of the bible down to the letter and no amount of proof or reasoning can shake their faith or open their mind to anything diffrent from whaf they were taught to beleive, even if god came down himself and told them science played a major role in creating the world and creating people it wasnt just me snapping my finger and poof i created everything.. this type of overly religious is dangourous and unhealthy, doesnt matter which religion it may be but there are groups of radical overly relegious people in every religionn and when they come face to face their is no debate are intulectual argumments its always bloodshed b.c one religion thinks they are right b.c its the only thing they know and so doees the other with no middle ground in between..
Then there are the other people who are still highly relegious also coming from a family who has more or less the same beliefs, but these people cchose to belieive and have faith in god or w.e their belief is, it wasnt by force and they can still keep an open mind to other theorys, religions and sciences.. these typpe of very relgious people i can respect even though i personally dont choose to be very relegious but i do belive in some kind of a higher power and i am spirtual
And then there are people who follow the religion which hasn't heard of paragraphs or punctuation and my religion says don't bother reading their posts
They are not insulting religious people in general, just the ones who blindly follow every word in the Bible/torah/Quran/etc as the gospel truth, in other words, fundamentalist types.
Believe me, you don't even have to be religious to act in the manner of a fundamentalist. I have seen this behavior in many athiests as well, where anything uttered by a scientist, college professor, or a left wing politician is considered as 100% truth, regardless of the amount of evidence.
Ever hear the term "flat-earth atheist"? Try Telling one of those that you are even the slightest bit skeptical of. "Imminent man-made global warming ". It's the same as going to a fundamentalist and telling them that " God doesn't exist" or that you are a Satanist.
There are extremists for just about anything you can imagine.
When people are highly religious I think they are less intelligent.

Come on, babe. Talk to the top of the conversation. I know you can do it.
