I don ' t know if they ' re smart but they ' re correct in saying that particular thing . It ' s silly to say that you can ' t be smart without going to college . No one is discounting your college degree by saying that you don ' t have to go to college to be smart . some people just don ' t like or can ' t go to college . there ' s too many brilliant people who didn ' t go to college to say otherwise . <| sep |> Unfortunately there is an overwhelming amount of evidence of the contrary . Faith doesn ' t make any of that nonsense true . You learned Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny weren ' t real when you grew up . It ' s time to grow up and realize there ' s no magical sky monster that will become angered if you use his name with a shitty attitude .
