Stupid Intelligence

I recently read the writings of a man whose creations were seen as influential pieces that impacted both the American and French revolutions. But then he decided to write a document that revolted against Judaism, Islam, Christianity and Christ himself. Even Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Edison commended the writings of this man, but in my opinion this intelligent man portrayed incredible elements, in his writings, of complete and utter stupidity.

But how can such intelligence be so stupid? The answer is simple. The intelligent person is entirely basing his belief system on logic. And yet when it comes to say Christianity, the whole basis is built upon faith. A logical man will struggle to understand faith every time. Faith at times defies logic, so how on earth can logic ever start to understand the miracles of Jesus?

But the facts remain, that in my lifetime I have seen the deaf receive their hearing, a child’s hole in her heart healed and that healing confirmed by doctors, a drunken man sobered instantaneously, a frozen shoulder defrosted in a second and answered prayer where no man was aware of the need. Now these speak of a faith that logic cannot and will not ever understand.

Maybe that’s why Jesus went to the fishing village and not to the universities of his day. For simple faith believed whilst complete logic, even to this day, denies.
