re: #123 Jadespring

Why are you determined to use ‘the intellectuals’ this way as if it’s some sort of intellectual groupthink that causes all of them to attack religion. It’s broad brush and total bunk. Yes some intellectuals attack religion and there are many that don’t. Theologians come to mind as an obvious example.

I don’t get this intellectuals (as a whole) are anti-religious stereotype either. I think it’s more of an example of political prop that’s been so ingrained that it’s taken on some sort of ‘truth’. It’s in and off it self and example of anti-intellectulism memes in action.

Because the topic at hand used the word “intellectual” in that sense.

Certainly there are different flavors and nuances to the word, but they weren’t/aren’t part of the discussion.
