What you call a proviso is really a self contradiction. You are unfairly stereotyping the religious by assuming that the intelligen religious are "few and far bewtween."
This is simple prejudice, and you can't undo it with a boilerplate disclaimer.
"self contradiction"? hardly. It is entirely consistent. My original statement was an existential generalization. Meaning that those properties apply to a number of literalists.
I did not say "religious" I said "literalist" - those people that believe that the Bible (old and new testament) is the literal inerrant word of God. They are the people who believe the earth is 6,000 years old and man walked with dinosaurs, and all the myths contained therein are actually true, like noah, babel, jonah and on and on.
You know its the kind of people who built the creation museum which I think it is a crime against intelligence and knowledge, even if it s protected free speech.
