I’m not saying Christianity correlates with stupidity, but...

Well, if there's one group of people who have shown you can really trust them, it's religious leaders.

Oh, the meak! Well, that's nice. It's time they got something.

That would be meek. A meak is a long handled brush hook.

Shut up, bug nose.

I know more stupid Christians than you do, Seymour .

[stuckathuntermtn]

I mean, that's not hard.

That's funny, although the Christian Scientists I believe are the only ones whose religion says no to shots. I know there have been clusters in some religious groups--some Mennonites in Tx (or is it NM), Orthodox Jews in NY but that's more about weird beliefs spreading in close knit communities. The religious leaders of both of those groups say it has nothing to do with religious doctrine.

“the father at the heart of this tragedy is, like many others in Seminole, the small West Texas town at the center of the outbreak, a member of the traditional-minded Christian sect known as Mennonites. There's apparently nothing in that group's doctrine barring modern medicine, but like many other conservative religious groups, many Mennonites are vaccine skeptics.”

"Everybody has to die” the father told The Atlantic's Tom Bartlett.

Seems way beyond a "skeptic". Probably would have been all in for an exorcism of the measles demon.

Thats Nutz.
I saw 2 Mennonite couples out on a double date once. The two girls in floral dresses with head scarfs and the guys in white shirts and black trousers with suspenders. Bristol Mtn. Pretty sure thier skis were rentals.
