Is religious belief the abnegation of intelligence and/or it's complete abiosis?

Question

its... my bad, I smell a best answer.

As for the simp calling me a troll, HELLO did you read my screen moniker?

Answer 1

The question doesn't even make sense, and I know what the words mean...

Answer 2

*grabs popcorn*

Answer 3

The heart wants what the heart wants.

I have searched, and agonized over my faith. I knew there is God, I just had to be able to prove Him beyond any reasonable doubt, which I have.

I am a realist. I can not embrace fantasy, or any fable.  

Answer 4

I think that by using big words you are hoping to confuse some people into making the wrong choice and therefore I declare you troll.

Answer 5

Pride is a sin "Great Gig in the sky". So you sin for that ?

Answer 6

Wow, somebody ate a dictionary for breakfast this morning!

Answer 7

You're not making any sense because you're using the words wrong!

Answer 8

religious belief is faith!

HAHA....do you refuse intelligence???

Answer 9

The definitions are:

1.abnegation - the denial and rejection of a doctrine or belief; "abnegation of the Holy Trinity"

2.abnegation - renunciation of your own interests in favor of the interests of others

It should be a complete abnegation (in sense 2) of intelligence. Your mind, intellect, actions, body and everything should all be dedicated to and in service of God. To a certain extent it is an abnegation in sense one also, in that you deny that your intellect is yours or to your credit. All we posses comes from God.

Belief is life-affirming and certainly not abiosis.

Answer 10

Pigggy, Piggy, Piggy - there's no point in using lovely long words if you balls up the punctuation.

"Its" is the possessive form, "it's" is the contraction of "it is"

Answer 11

No, it is clarity. The vanity, and the pride that keeps us from the simplicity of God, is only a mist.

Life begins at that point, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see.

Answer 12

No.

In some instances, however: yes.
