In our ongoing serialization of the arguments of Celsus against the Christians, I bring to your notice what he writes about those who become Christians.
What is said by a few who are considered as Christians, concerning the doctrine of Jesus and the precepts of Christianity, is not designed for the wiser but for the more unlearned and ignorant part of mankind. For the following are their precepts; let no one who is erudite accede to us, no one who is wise, no one who is prudent [for these things are thought by us to be evil] but let anyone who is unlearned, who is stupid, who is an infant in understanding boldly come to us.

Since it is in the bible it is true! Now how does one make themselves stupid? Time is running out for those who are or want to be heaven bound.

How does one make oneself stupid? Now there’s a question I can answer. First, buy an anvil; then, buy a hard bound Bible. Next, alternate between hitting your head on the anvil and reading the Bible, page 1 to the end. Repeat this at 5 minute intervals or until your head becomes so much like mashed potatoes a cannibal finds you and eats you. Now if that doesn’t make you stupid, nothing will.

Given the rabid advocacy of exclusion, hatred and marginalization of current leaders and followers of this particular belief system, in my humble opinion, he has defined each and every one of the qualifications for membership in this society of believers.
