Often we see people on the news who we know are smart, but who think, believe, and say dumb things. “Public education is a great boon to America.”, “The ice caps will melt within the next century, and life as we know it will be destroyed.” “More government spending will help.”
High IQs have thoughts that reflect reality. The more that our thoughts do not reflect reality, the dumber we functionally are.
Spiritual reality is simple. God, the Father Almighty created Heaven and earth. He had one Son, Jesus Christ, conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. He was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. On the third day, He rose again. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His Kingdom shall have no end.
The more our thoughts differ from that, the less well our minds will work. Our spiritual IQ will drop. That paragraph is “home”. The farther from home we get, the more likely it is that we will be lost.
Soon, those who get too far away from home are stuck living the bestial kind of life where they have to endlessly lie to justify stealing from their neighbors. Soon, they end up accepting the inevitability of having to kill their neighbors, starting with the unborn and damaged.
Soon, they are dumbed down so far that they can’t even tell how stupid they’ve become, every thought propped up with lies. They’ve no hope at all except for the possibility of stealing even more from those around them.
