@zilch: For the third time, everyone pay attention: THE HIGH PART OF THE GRADES ARE THE FAR RIGHT, NOT THE CENTER. lrn2xaxis. Jews and Atheists are the the "average" with the higher intellects marked as all Eastern religions. (even though Buddhist is considered Atheist by some Buddhists because they do not "worship" him as a deity and treat it more as a philosophy like existentialism...)

I have yet to meet a brilliant Buddhist. Nice, sure, but not an IQ Exam candidate. I'm also willing to believe that Muslims are smart mathematically if they only tested the men. It's like whoever made this didn't even try to hide their BS biases.

Chart also doesn't take into account converted and formerly religious people. Hell even within one faith you will find diverse amounts of "devotion" and have some people who manage to balance their religion with science and facts. People like the Catholics in my family who support abortions for rape victims and believe in evolution. Not all religious people are "orthodox" religious nuts.

lol... you're all correct. This chart doesn't make sense because it's assuming that all of set group of certain religion placed in a certain percentile on a test. If it was accurate you'd see one line labeled "Mormon" at the AVERAGE grade achieved by all Mormons who took the test. What this shows is the curve of average population with religions plastered on it. Unless you get a set amount of all religions represented (say, 100 of each faith listed) and then test them. Then only take the average of those tests and graph THAT chart, maybe you could make some bullshit statement. But I doubt scientologists would place high since they have been brainwashed of the critical FREE-thinking skills needed for and IQ test. Also, since the tests tend to focus in on puzzles and math problems more than lit or grammar, you'd be making the assumption that knowing who Shakespeare is is less important than knowing how to decode a visual pattern. IQ tests only show how good you are at taking IQ tests. I'm good at them because I like puzzles. But there are people I look up to and admire, very smart people, who just have no patience for puzzles. And some of them are religious. Oh my.

I always wondered why she sports a beehive. Every single Jewish woman I've met in NY (and I mean the sort of orthodox Jews that his parents are portrayed as) all have the same bowl cut hair. Short, straight, blah. Maybe it's because she's a fiery redhead, so it's in her to rebel and go for the long hair and smexy updo.

@Puulaahi: It took me almost 10 years to finalize my tattoo design. I originally wanted a bat, but then I changed and as I morphed, so did my design. :) Got my phoenix 2 years ago on my birthday. Haven't named him yet...

@dieAntagonista: Besides Dexter, that show is my reason to love Showtime. <3 I learned so much crap and found so many things to research after watching seasons of Bullshit.
