I just thought of something today, it's pretty straight forward I think.. Basically, there is the difference between learning about Christianity and the bible, and being a Christian. You don't have to be a scholar to be a Christian do you? Also lets say you have a mentally retarded kid, is he worth less than some big shot intellectual who knows a lot about the bible? It seems it's simple, you don't have to know a lot to be a good hearted person.
