It doesn't, it just means you've decided to accept God's gift of salvation. It doesn't make you better or worse than any other person in the world.

No, not necessarily. While you might have more knowledge on your specific beliefs than a nonbeliever might, it doesn't mean you're a more knowledgeable individual overall. It also doesn't qualify you as a better thinker. When you say "believer" I'm assuming you're referring to someone who believes in God and the Bible. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Well if that's what you mean, I'm a believer and I don't think I'm a better thinker or necessarily a better knowledgeable individual than others. I know what I know but there are also many things that I don't know, including some things concerning my beliefs.

to me being more knowledgeable is having an education. Being a believer is a better thinker in what you believe.
And just because the one person thinks because the presidents go to church, makes them better, well my belief is wrong. Look at Clinton. He went to church and he was an adulterer. Does that make him more knowledgeable, a better thinker. Maybe thinking how he can still do it and not be found out.
It's how you think of yourself, how your knowledge can help someone, and believe in yourself that you can do it.
But if someone doesn't believe in God, doesn't make him/her a bad person. As long as a person knows right from wrong, that is what makes a person. If a person believes in God fine, but not everyone does. There are quite a few people who don't, and they are good people.

A believer is another word for gullible... and is actually a less knowledgeable individual because they are too comfortable in their fantasy world to want to deal with reality.

Well, would that depend on what you are a "believer" in?
(In my opinion)
Being a christian, doesn't make me a better thinker, but maybe more aware of truth...

REVEILEB = believer spelled backwards. When you believe in a higher power, GOD, he gives you the words and knowledge needed to answer most questions. He instructs us to have faith as a mustard-seed. God also tells us, that if we believe in Him, and not deny Him, that he will remember us on judgment day.
CONSIDER THIS: All our leaders/Presidents of the USA , have acknowledged that they go to Church. Would you consider that as propaganda so you would vote for them? Or would you prefer your leader as a God-fearing man?

It doesn't for the most part, but it does show that you are open to possibilities of something greater than you. The ability to have an open mindedness can be a good thing.

As a believer you can both read and think. As a non-believer it's a wonder that you can barely read muchless understand what your reading in the first place.

if we indeed are better thinkers it because of the source of our Wisdom the "Holy Spirit" The "Omniscient" One........ no one is better than that.

I doesn't but is shows that you have more opportunities to learn things because your more open to new things.
