The left is smart enough to lately work fake, over-payed "jobs." Basically life on easy mode. The right values actual work for some reason.

I'd hazard a guess that it's the lowest common denominator midwit way of thinking. Exceptionally gifted people in my experience tend to have a greater variation of more detailed nuanced and sometimes even more eccentric views. Brian Donaldson, Penrose, Ramanujan, Planck, all great men and all eccentric in some way. The first creationist I ever met IRL was also someone with an IQ of over 135. Part of that is that highly intelligent people, outliers, have higher openess to new ideas and we know now that the genes for outlier high intelligence overlap with the genes for autism so there's some truth to the eccentric genius stereotype. Newton was an eccentric a-typical Christian and Einstein was a Spinozist.

Oh, and you do because you made up your own concept of God that’s so vague that it can’t even be properly discussed, let alone disproven?

Really? Prove gods exist then.

The thing is that you're so autistic you have to mentally comprehend everything in a "logical" form. If something doesn't seem to be "logical to you" you instantly think it's bad and that is must be dismantled.
Do you really think that literally every cultural and ethnic group ever has/made a religion, and that they all made their religions for no reason.
Humans need something to worship and a group to identify with, religions give a good filling of both compared to many alternatives

It’s not autistic to insist on logical proof for the existence of an entity that you’re building your whole worldview around. That’s called being intelligent and skeptical. If you insist on being intelligent and skeptical in regards to the existence of Bigfoot, Santa Claus, or the Tooth Fairy, but not to the existence of gods, then that’s your prerogative, but you still have to be able to justify your beliefs to everyone else without insulting them.

Not at all. It’s just that the reason isn’t that they happened to be right about the existence of the deities they worshipped. An argument from pragmatism isn’t sufficient to prove the existence of the thing being worshipped, especially since modern man doesn’t need a god to be a good person.

logical proof itself is just a strong basis of human judgement
Believing in something that has always benefited humans isn't illogical

This. There are too many nuances in political belief to just say that you are 'right-wing' or 'left-wing'. All there really is, as far as the political power and capacity of the average person is concerned, is policy that one agrees with, and policy that they don't. To simply select a party or belief system and align yourself totally with it shows a lack of consideration for the small stuff. People are hellbent on sacrificing any independent thought for the sake of maintaining a label. 'oooohh im a marxist' 'ooohh im a republican' 'nnhggggg im an anarchist' No, what you are is an insufferable cunt.

tendency to be smarter yes, but you imply all of them are smart. also, generally the open minded people tend to be more critical and question everything. while religious fanatacis care about traditions without questioning it. of course there are also insuffarable atheists that lack the quality of being open minded and talks with them are mostly one sided
