Summary

This quote suggests that the average Christian is portrayed as someone who lacks intelligence and reasoning skills. The individual is seen as incapable of comprehending simple concepts, such as counting up to three, and is therefore deemed unworthy of the rewards Christianity offers. The quote highlights a cynical view of Christianity and challenges the idea that believers deserve the promised punishment or reward based on their mental capacity. It implies a critique of those who adhere to the Christian faith without engaging in critical thinking or intellectual exploration.
