You Gotta be Dumb to Believe the Bible, Right?

It starts out subtly. The religious characters in the TV shows are always a little weird. News reports focus on aberrations in the “Christian community”—people who either live in the past or are strange, simple, offbeat people, or hypocrites who don’t practice what they preach. In college it becomes more blatant. A biology professor or a psychology teacher comes right out and makes fun of anyone who still believes the Bible is anything more than a mistake-filled collection of ancient Jewish sayings.

You won’t get through your freshman year without being told that belief in God is for the back-woodsy, uneducated—though perhaps well-meaning—folks back home. It belongs to those who still use typewriters, think CDs are something you put in a bank, and think IPODs must be some kind plant or something NASA invented. It is not for a person who is educated and intelligent. Only the uninformed, ignorant, or unbalanced believe the Bible. No one takes anyone seriously who takes the Bible seriously.

So what about that?
