How does a religious person or person of grouped belief contradict having a mind?Could you clarify your question?
Are you asking for proof that one can be religious and still intelligent, or stating that anyone who claims religion is incapable of having a mind of their own?
Complete and coherent sentences in questions usually help.- 90

Complete and coherent sentences in questions usually help.It is complete unless you seek interpretation. I'm stating that anyone that claims religion contradicts having a mind. Why is this?

I'm religious and I don't contradict having a mind so I won't be of any use to you, Marine

Even the mind of a follower is still a mind. Marine, you should bear in mind that not everyone is as free-spirited and curious as you are. If I were you, I'd be grateful to have the kind of mind you have.
It's probably the Ego Defense Mechanism of denial.
An intelligent person, who is religious, would have to be in denial about reality.

I agree, they are still a mind. Just a contradiction to an individual mind. I am greateful to all except those who are content with not realizing they have a mind.

Complete and coherent sentences in questions usually help.I think what he's attempting to say is : Can those who profess religious belief also have a mind that can think independently of those religious beliefs. His implication is that it cannot. Therefore, you cannot truly have your own mind if it's been filled and polluted with religious hogwash.
It's a primitive suppostion of course, but one not without an element of truth to it.Curious, free-spirited, religious, and I have a mind. If you're trying to prove some theory that religious people don't have minds of their own, I'm sorry I can't help you.
Well, actually, no I'm not.

But one would have to be in denial that they are, in fact, contradicting logic.

Several people have observed that your original post is not well framed. They are correct. It is unclear. When you want to challenge, it's best to do it from a position of strength.

Thank You. I thought about that. I would rather appear weak to be underestimated.

How they use it, is another matter.If someone relies on others to define their belief or non belief, they are contradicting having an individual mind to create their individual belief. This is what I was trying to get at.
