I am a Christian, and I am strong in my faith. What I can’t understand though, is why some people are so unintelligent. God created all men to be equal, but doesn’t it just seem like some people have no brain whatsoever. For instance, take driving. Why are some people just so stupid and inconsiderate when they drive? Why do some people have a greater intelligence level than others when all are “created equal”? Any thoughts?

We all have special gifts...not all the same gifts. Some are very intelligence, others caring, others have singing talent, etc. If we all have the same gifts what a boring world we would live in. God is so good.
God bless,

I think you are stretching the "equal" aspect too far. God treats all men equally, in my view, but not all men/women are born with the same talent, circumstances nor opportunities. How we relate to our situation is based on the greatest gift from God - agency, (or our ability to choose). People, in my view, generally become the sum of their choices. Not that everyone can, or should be able to understand the inner workings of the atom or the reason the planets move in the vastness of space, but everyone can, if they choose, be happy and live a fulfilling life. Remember that equality, at least under the law, is more a matter of the society you live in than your birth. God allows each to make their own decisions and often those decisions impact others to a greater or lessor degree and in a negative or positive way.

God does not make blunders or create ugliness. you're the most imaginitive daughter of God contained in the universe with a spirit and wonder previous concepts's eye. creation is your threat in this life and contained in the life to bypass back. start up small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen or the keys of the piano. do not enable the voice of critics paralyze you. you'll make the global a better position. develop, beautify, develop, smile, cultivate, develop and create greatness. Do an suggestion superhighway search for for on Oprah and examine her biography. She has walked through a refiners hearth and look at her as we communicate!

God created Adam perfect. Adam sinned and that's where the imperfection started. All subsequent generations have been under the curse, and have become further and further from what God originally created.
Also don't confuse "equal" with "same". Men and women are "equal", but not the "same". We're different in both our physical makeup, and our abilities and roles.

I understand "equality" as something we all have right to reach. Equal to exist. You may hate someone for their stupidity, their cruelness or something else as much as you can, that cannot be avoided, but if you believe in concept of equality, you should ACCEPT these stupid people. Accepting one like that is not a big deal.
You don't have to do anything else, than change your attitude and think your value as a human is the same as their.
"All different, all equal."

Some people may *seem* unintelligent, but in my opinion we all have similar RAM/ROM, and just have different contents there for the time periods used to fill it. Maybe a plumber 22 years old who didn't go to college knows as much as a college graduate, just about different things, and the *seemingly* inconsiderate and stupid drivers are merely distracted by their mother's death or spilled hot coffee in their laps.

We are created with an equal capacity to love and show love-behavioral issues are dictated by self discipline and education these are not equal. When you are driving the status of all drivers is not equal-some took driving lessons professionally-some from a friend-and some not at all. The behavior of man has little to do with his/her capacity to love.

Let's use a little common sense - They aren't created equal, people have different intelligence levels due to genetics.
People do need to be treated as equals when it comes to civil rights, other than that....

God , does have a sense of humor!! We were all created equal, but God knew what he was doing. Each person, in their own right has something unique that no one else does and he can use it to his own potential. Which leads us to why we have free thinking. Some people,. just don't know how to use it.

everyone was created equal.. everyone has talent in something different from the next person.... everyone was created equal but we all have a free will and we are to blame for not working as hard as we should and use all the gifts God gives us... So it appears there are some short changed by God, but really they have short changed themselves by not striving to be everything God meant them to be!! just pray for everyone!
