Smart? Yes. Honest and introspective? No. At least as far as monotheism is concerned.

Whats an "Athiest Reflex"?
sorry, its late, i couldnt help myself..
It's an automatic reaction honest and introspective people have towards religion
?? So anyone who believes in God in dishonest?
please explain.
Not being honest with themselves. If you can't ask yourself difficult questions and strip away the walls that you've been indoctrinated with since you were 6 years old then you will probably continue to rely on the comfort of religion and easy answers.
questions like, "if I came here tomorrow not knowing anything about any religions, which religion has the largest body of evidence to convince me with? Which book do I pick? which thousand year old fables to I choose to believe in." Unfortunately for you, the honest answer to these questions is "none of them."
Nope. The concept of evolution is a lot more complicated. It's easier just to believe in God.To post another question....
Can an imbecile believe in evolution?

Having the question under consideration (and therefore not, theoretically, closed), it's rude as hell to use the colored language and reliance on literalist religious strawmen to make your point.
Now, once your point is made, if you are in fact able to make one, and having established the utter uselessness and fallacy of all religion, you can feel free to follow up with the colored language.
As in the case of the religious enthusiast, your discourse here smacks of the "easy answers" one finds by association with -- or long familiarity in print with -- viewpoints that echo one's own far too often. This familiarity can appear to the outsider as disrespect, as I have said many a time to the proselytizers hereabouts.
PFnV
Thanks for the advice oh longwinded one
Yeah actually attempting to think through points and counterpoints is, naturally, an exercise of futility.
Sorry it's not all black and white.
Enjoy
