Intelligence/Faith
I sometimes see people questioning the intelligence of people who believe in God.
One problem with this questioning is that there are many different experiences of God and beliefs about what God is. Does having faith in something unseen unintelligent?

Only those who are insecure about their own beliefs and intellectual capacity find it necessary to criticize others. At least that's my take.

I don't believe there's any correlation between intelligence and worldview. We've all got our idiots and geniuses alike.

I don't think faith in something unseen is unintelligent but I don't want to admit to being an idiot either.

As Hobbes observed
Differences in human intelligence are rather small, when you get down to ti. And no individual human is so intelligent as to have a right to tell others what to believe or do.
