intelligence

Today, my readers and only friends, I want to talk about intelligence. And I want to do this by talking about mister Godfried Maria Jules Danneels (76) and mister André-Mutien Léonard (69).

These two men are prominent members of the church of the Big Fairy In The Sky. And they not only believe in the creed of the Big Fairy, they have sworn to spread it. The first one is about to retire from the top job of the church in Belgium, the second one is the most likely candidate to get that job.

The question is, are these two men intelligent ? The media seems to think these men have moral leadership (whatever that means) and are both very intelligent. But let us study the evidence.

Both men live in splendor. Paid for by the state (all of us) and the gullible (they call those people faithful). In return they offer ... words. Empty ones. So, like most successful politicians they have grasped the basics of human psychology. This is definitely a sign of - rudimentary - intelligence.

Both men have spend (wasted) the best part of their lives in the service (one could say 'the pursuit') of an invisible, untouchable, unverifiable entity, comparable to the invisible fire-breathing (heatless of course) flying dragon that lives in my garage. They claim to 'hear' the voice of this entity in their heads. This is definitely a sign of a brain-disease.

Mr Danneels is said to be a modest man. When asked what he would do now that he has more spare time he answered : "I will pray more". Translated this means he wants to communicate even more with the voice of the entity that he claims to 'hear' in his head. He also answered : "I will read in the bible a lot more". For those who do not know this, the bible is a book that contains mythological stories about the Big Fairy and his son (who is at the same time also the Big Fairy itself). Now, the fact that somebody wants to read mythology is not of course weird. I myself like ancient Greek mythology very much. But his man claims that the bible contains 'truth' (and worse, he wants to spread that opinion). Now, that is more like a raging lunatic than like a modest man. You might as well claim that the goddess Athena really did spring bodily from the (split-open with a hammer) head of the god Zeus.

Mr Léonard is less modest, he is said to be a radical. He called upon Freud to claim that homosexuals are stuck in a development phase. Actually he used the word 'abnormal' for homosexuality, but later retracted that. I watched him on television claiming that a man has a problem when he can not accept his manhood. I thought that was a bit rich for a man in a dress that wasted the best years of his manhood to run after a fairy. Anybody else making such claims would be persecuted for discrimination, but freedom of religion (not freedom of speech, freedom of speech excludes hate-speech) protects this man.

It is my opinion that the media would do well to keep as far away as possible from these two men (and all men and women like them). Intelligence is not contagious, but brain-diseases are and these two men have a disease that we do not want to spread (again).
