Despite a warning not to link

Despite a warning not to link to his own website, PGJ did so (both in this string and another) and so is now gone.

A stark warning that

A stark warning that abandoning theism isn't a free pass to rationality and critical thinking. Anymore than higher education is guaranteed to make you more erudite and intelligent.

Funny story springs to mind here.

In a pub with some friends, and two of the group were teachers. One was a lecturer at a UK university. The discussion briefly turned to the standard of student intake in universities. It was pointed out that Tony Blair had stated one of his aims as PM was to ensure 50% of the population attended university. One of the teachers expressed doubts about the suitability of some of such a large demographic for higher education. The university lecturer said "50% is fine, I just wish they'd send the more intelligent half."

Made me laugh anyway.

I believe it is really hard to believe that he believed he was making sense about believing he invented a belief system about not believing anything. (FUCK! My brain hurts now. *groan*)

Ok Tin man, we mustn't be

Ok Tin man, we mustn't be too hard on the Scarecrow.

In the Wizard of Oz the Scarecrow got a university diploma, and it made him smart though, so not my best analogy.
