I am a Genius

Paull

I am a genius, the problem is that I can write beautiful words, but they cannot flow when I open my mouth so people look at me like I have some kind of mental health issue or learning disability.

I have so much to offer society - I understand politics more than the Prime Minister, I understand economics more than the chairman of the Bank of England, I understand religion more than the Pope - but because I have no speech eloquence then I am seen as a dumbo.Is anyone else in this situation ?

  • However, it gives meaning to many people's lives. There is a difference between organized religion and private, superstitious practices. Organized religion is controlled by the elites, and is dogmatic, whereas private belief systems bring comfort to the believer, while allowing critical and flexible thought processes. I am an atheist, and as such, I am against organized religion, but I do not begrudge people their private need to believe in something higher than our mundane, material existence. What matters is tolerance, the ability to be critical and to question things in an active way, and to allow people their right to create meaning for themselves, so long as they don't  persecute the 'unbelievers'. Monotheistic religions, in particular, can be very intolerant, believing in hell for the unbelievers, gay people, and anyone else who challenges the patriarchal religious structure. Therefore, organized religion has historically been a source of bigotry and war.
