Ah I'm unintelligent and easily led away from the original topic? , I should have said I can't answer yes or no, hence the shrug and my answer that did not address the question.

The war on drugs is too large a topic to pidgeon hole as either a display of intelligence or not.

1.) There is literally an infinite amount of meaningless correlations that you can 'discover' using a survey.

2.) The intelligence of religious people has nothing to do with whether or not a god exists.

3.) The Stanford-Binet tests a very small range of tasks; it is used to predict academic success.

4.) Just because most scientists in the National Academy of Sciences are not religious is not an argument for the non-existence of god. (Appeal to authority.)

I'd agree with this. But I'd also have to stress the difference between Religious and Spiritual.




I'd like to hear your definition of spiritual.




Religion: Creed, Community, Code of Ethics
Spirituality: Subjective experience of the "_____"


--------------------
Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show, That the dear She might take some pleasure of my pain: Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know, Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain.
