An atheist denigrating the intellect of a religious person?! I'm shocked.

It is a tautological argument in that it is true absolutely. Thats not a bad thing. Any system of belief is fundamentally predicated on faith based axioms. E.g. basically everything one thinks is "religious" to some degree.

No intellect was degraded. It was the behavior. Also your response is merely an insult followed by 5 unsupported statements. Can you try again?

You're right about that but I prefer axioms with actual explanatory power.
