I always say, education is not near as important as common sense, hard work, being good at something and treating people right.
Not sure what you mean here.
Well, according to @In The Name Of and @Rex Kwon Do I'm basically still a Muslim. Maybe I should just accept that instead.
I think come off angrier in my posts than I actually am. I wasn't bothered by the conversation at all.

Most atheists are underachievers who lack motivation in life.
I don't disagree that its unhealthy to put too much stock into formal education. For example, I don't think college is for everyone and many people waste their money on it because they aren't really thinking of the risk/reward or taking all factors into consideration. In other words, a lot of people end up with a shit degree that was expensive and pays jack shit or has a low outlook for employment.The funny thing about education is that some view it as some sort of panacea for everything. Far too many stick to "educating" themselves simply because they have no idea what to do with their life and don't want to come up with an answer.
I don't put much stock in formal education. Most of it is for idiots and the rest are far and in between.
It is just a study, based on numbers. It doesn't account for the causation in its entirety. There are always deeper reasons behind statistics but for whatever reason, people online get a boner off of interjecting their clever little one-liners that are just black and white.My belief in an invisible superbeing means I'm smart?
And the study is here presented in such a way as to *directly * suggest that it means Jews and Christians are more intelligent than atheists and Muslims.It is just a study, based on numbers.

That is like me saying "Men make more money than women", and a woman responding to me with "Are you saying that having a vagina is causing me to make less money?"
Well I mean, Fuck, if you're going to look at it that way.... Or maybe, many times, men and women value different things in a career?
I am, and I lament the state of education today. 100 years ago it was a completely different animal.That being said, I rarely hear the "most formal education is for idiots" argument from people who are educated.
Yeah, not like there is a relationship between education and prosperity or anything like that. If only there was some data to corroborate this.The funny thing about education is that some view it as some sort of panacea for everything.
