Zone1 No Wonder Why I Had Doubts In God's Existence Before

William Sidis​

William Sidis (1898-1944) was reportedly the smartest man who ever lived. He was admitted to Harvard University at age 9 but his parents held him back until he was 11.

Mathematics was his favorite subject and he excelled at it. Unfortunately he was mocked and teased by “the best and brightest” all around him, as was Theodore Kaczynski, aka The Unabomber, another mathematical genius, recluse and miserable failure.

Sidis rejected “the big boss of the Christians,” like the Unabomber did, and embraced socialism and isolation. He died at age 44 of a brain hemorrhage, with a disappointing record of achievements considering his intellect and education. Like the Unabomber, Sidis never married and never had any children. Two Darwin Award Winners removed themselves from the gene pool without killing themselves to the amusement of Award afficionados. The Unabomber’s record of achievements – serial murders with package bombs - was far more calamitous. So much for the atheist championing of their “intellectualism.”

So you are basically comparing people with abnormal brains with the rest of us and claiming that religion could have stopped them from being weird.

It is well documented that people with extremely high intelligence have social difficulties and other issues with mental health so using these outliers in a comparison is ludicrous.
