While a saint could be both incredibly intelligent and possessing of an amazing strong will that is directed towards the good, I think only the latter is necessary for saints.<br /><br />I don't know if most women saints were intelligent or not, as the test for that would be not necessarily theological, but to do with logic and understanding of the material world.Lucia Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485990994973953860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-30329371612631335712013-08-14T18:23:08.995+12:002013-08-14T18:23:08.995+12:00Lucia

However, they are not immune to propaganda (as that works on the worldview rather than knowledge as such), and they tend to be far more prideful and reliant on their own abilities (pride being the sin that led the Angel of Light to fall). This means than an unguided intellect is in far greater danger than it realises.Lucia Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485990994973953860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-47751523535556971242013-08-14T16:24:50.457+12:002013-08-14T16:24:50.457+12:00And of course, here's a surprisingly intellige...And of course, here's a surprisingly intelligent headline from the UK "Those with higher intelligence are less likely to believe in God claims new review of 63 scientific studies stretching back decades".<br />Actually, I think that they erred somewhat in that these (educated) researchers have analysed available data going back a few million years.You gotta love it were it not so tragic. <br /><br /><br />mzalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134200056944147488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-64261512357534766062013-08-13T16:12:28.974+12:002013-08-13T16:12:28.974+12:00Another example of a study that the result was a f...Another example of a study that the result was a foregone conclusion.
