Would it be wrong to require people to have to include their IQ?

In my opinion you could require it and people may or may not give you their true IQ score. The problem would not be resolved regardless. For example; I am not religious and my IQ is in the same range as Funky Bird --- And I have never made the claim that "you have to be really stupid to be religious" nor would I ever wish to do so. Besides the fact it would be discourteous and disrespectful to say such a thing and that there is no significant evidence to support such a claim -- in my opinion being religious is entirely independent of intelligence. I am also well aware of many people who are believers and who are in my opinion brilliant.

No. IQ tests are pointless things. But I agree that SOME (not by all means most) atheists can be bloody rude about anyone with faith...still a lot of the faithful can be pretty bad at the 'not casting stones" thing an' all.

People in general are pretty fuckedup, I find. It's why I drink to excess...makes them easier to tolerate....and when I can't tolerate them any longer...it gives me an excuse to lose it and violently assault them.

If NCWJ has an IQ of 160 the test needs to be redesigned to actually measure intelligence.

My IQ was 95! Below average

IQs have very little to do with understanding or believing. We live in a culture that is ignorant of really important ideas and opinion replaces knowledge. In fact our culture embraces celebrities, gossip, materialism and self.

That Christians can discern life in a spiritual sense would indicate that their understanding is beyond the capabilities of the intelligent among us, thereby exposing the limits of human intelligence.

Several times in the Scriptures, the Lord mentions the fact that an abundance of or excessive reliance upon worldly education can actually be a hindrance to entering into the Kingdom.

In Isaiah 29:13-14 He said, “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men. Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.”

Paul, who was by most accounts the towering intellect of New Testament writers, built upon this in 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 when he wrote;

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

You have the be really stupid to be religious. IQ>9000!

I haven't had my IQ measured,I consider it a vainglorious endeavour,but then I don't make the stated claim either.

Actually, your IQ doesn't *really determine your intelligence, rather your spatial reasoning skills.

I used to know a girl who got a 120, but excelled in academics and has the vocabulary of someone beyond her age.

Mine is 143.

I don't think IQ has anything do with philosophical critical thinking though. Look at Pascal - he had an IQ of 190, but made one of the worst arguments for religion in history.
