Whatever your view of religion, you are not very good at literary analysis. The verse you quote, in full:

"We have given up our wisdom for Christ, but you have insight because of Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored"

Not quite the same of what you imply is it?

But now I don't know what you think it means. Who do you think "you" and "we" are in this quote?

Go read Corinthians? I'm just pointing out it was quoted halfway through to make it sound like Paul just wrote "we dumb" in a letter.

Right. But you didn't quote it in full either, so I couldn't figure out what you thought it said.

So yeah, there's a base unit of meaning which is well beyond one or two verses (something I wish the church would learn).
