A fair number. Individuals, at least. Individually, Christians are capable of great feats of brainpower, although as a whole, I think we agree that they are painfully limited.

But tradition binds as strongly as any law, not to mention loyalty.

I was under the impression that preaching to the choir means that no one is paying attention... so it wouldn't really matter what choir you preached to, right?

So, during my Biology class today, I decided that Christianity isn't such a bad gig. This is my conclusion. Ahem: Quote: Christianity is much more than a belief in YHWH, and a fear and love of Him. It is a belief in mercy and miracles, in the idea that everything and everyone that is, has a purpose, and that this purpose includes each and every one of us, on a deep and personal level.

not bad, funny though you came to this realization in biology class. considering the faith is based on a biological impossibility (the immaculate conception of christ)

Yeah, I know, huh? xd
Although you must remember, Mary was the Immaculate Conception, not Christ. Mary was born cleansed of original sin, or whatever.

[i]To Know, Worship and Love[/i], Yr. 9 Edition The Immaculate Conception is, according to Roman Catholic dogma, the conception of Mary, the mother of Jesus without any stain of original sin, in her mother's womb: the dogma thus says that, from the first moment of her existence, she was preserved by God from the lack of sanctifying grace that afflicts mankind, and that she was instead filled with divine grace. It is further believed that she lived a life completely free from sin. Her immaculate conception in the womb of her mother, by normal sexual intercourse (Christian tradition identifies her parents as Sts. Joachim and Anne), should not be confused with the doctrine of the virginal conception of her son Jesus.

Who, the locusts? Then you heard wrong. Animals have no souls. Besides, excommunication means you can't receive the Sacraments, which even non-excommunicated animals can't receive.
