Augustine on the bankruptcy of Western academia

Academics are hard to deal with for the most part. They tend to think their learning makes them superior to the common man. Well, Augustine disagrees (and he is smarter than they are, I know).

But those who strut in the high boots of what they deem to be superior knowledge will not hear Him who says, "Learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls."

Don't forget Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins...maybe Pat Condell, too, who is THIS close to getting the truth.
