Prayer and Religion in Public Life

Not necessarily.  Maybe they don't care about building wealth. 

Most wealthy people own a business.  Running a business is hard work.  Hard work includes physical and mental work.  Running a construction company involves physical work.  Running a doctor's office requires mental work.   

Maybe they do care about building great wealth only they're not capable of doing it.

I've had a few different businesses & none of them required much hard physical labour,
Running around & organising- most of the metal 'hard work' revolved around other
People - managing them & get them to work as required etc.


Go digging out trenches with a shovel in 35+c heat or -5+c temps & compare that to
Mental 'hard work'  vast difference in who tired you feel at the end of your shift.

I know which I'd choose every day of the week .  😊

Hard work is not limited to physical labor. 

I could never do blue collar work.  Not my talent and it's definitely difficult.  I would rather just lift heavy things in the gym.

'Hard work' is physical labour.

Working at a computer or doing other mind related work Isn't Hard Work.
Stressful yes. The 2 are very different. 

I'll do either to earn money.

Hard work includes both blue collar and white collar work.  We will have to agree to disagree.

The smarter the world gets, the harder it is to ignore the truth of Christ.

Dr. YoungHoon Kim, officially recognized in 2024 as having the highest IQ ever recorded says:

"I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life."

He points to quantum physics to support belief in God and the afterlife.

Faith isn’t fading. It’s rising — even among the world’s greatest minds.

What has his iq got to do with it ?
Yeah he has the highest iq & ...... is he the richest man on earth ??

IQ of 276? Sounds like BS.

IQ of 276? Sounds like BS.

It is. IQ scores don't even go close to that high.

IQ of 276? Sounds like BS.

Seems legit.

"Certified by the Official World Record, World Memory Championships, and World Memory Sports Council (in partnership with Guinness World Records), Dr. Kim’s IQ has also been validated by elite societies including the GIGA Society, Mega Society, Triple Nince Society, and Mensa. His intelligence has been confirmed by clinical neuroscientists from Yale University, and he was named the #1 highest IQ in the world by CNN, CNBC, Newsweek, and Reader’s Digest."

"Certified by the Official World Record, World Memory Championships, and World Memory Sports Council (in partnership with Guinness World Records)

Fella is probably intelligent but the 276 number is BS and it looks like he created a bunch of BS websites and organizations to promote himself and his "276" IQ.

The Official World Record website (officialworldrecord.com) where you just go and register whatever record? Guinness World Records has stopped recognizing IQ tests for several decades now.

World Memory Championships, and World Memory Sports Council would refer to memory and not intelligence and also happens to have Kim as one of its managers.

Dr. Kim’s IQ has also been validated by elite societies including the GIGA Society, Mega Society, Triple Nince Society, and Mensa. His intelligence has been confirmed by clinical neuroscientists from Yale University, and he was named the #1 highest IQ in the world by CNN, CNBC, Newsweek, and Reader’s Digest."

Giga Society (gigasociety.net), which Kim founded (notice a pattern? ) in 2021 and is named after the original, older society of the same name (gigasociety.com). In 2024 it declared him the person with the highest IQ in the world. Sounds legit...

Also:
"the founder of the 1996 Giga Society, Paul Cooijmans, said that Kim had created multiple websites purporting to be high-IQ societies and listed the names of third parties, including members of the original Giga Society, on such websites without their knowledge.

"Kim's USIA has listed philosophy professor Klaus Mainzer as an advisor on its website. According to ZDFheute, Mainzer wrote in an e-mail that he had never been associated with Kim's organization, stating that such claim was "fake""

"The score itself has been described as statistically impossible by Triple Nine Society's German spokesman Werner Konik".

and he was named the #1 highest IQ in the world by CNN, CNBC, Newsweek, and Reader’s Digest."

Now that is the most credible evidence!

Court blocks Louisiana law requiring schools to post Ten Commandments in classrooms

A panel of three federal appellate judges has ruled that a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in each of the state's public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

The ruling Friday marked a major win for civil liberties groups who say the mandate violates the separation of church and state, and that the poster-sized displays would isolate students — especially those who are not Christian.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said she disagreed and believed the ruling only applied to school districts in the five parishes that were party to the lawsuit. Murrill added that she would appeal the ruling, including taking it to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.
