Smart people always thinking they’re so smart with their smartness and clevertudinous proclamations of wit and wonder.. They are The Worst… Right? As a stupid person it’s nice to have this web series from Above Average to guide us through dealing with smarty pants know-it-alls who think they know everything about everything, including religion.
Okay, maybe it is true that the quickest way to alienate your smart friends (or the not-so-bright ones, for that matter) is to mention your sincere religious beliefs. This is especially effective when you follow it up with a chapter and verse dialogue with visual aids, giving your social evening all of the spontaneity of an Amway presentation.
Don’t be insulted religious folk, this man is not your enemy! He tells you how to avoid false religious people who would – and do take advantage of you! Still, you share food with the cat (the cheap kind) and send religious charlatans and politicians who claim to be Christians, money. There hasn’t been a politician who didn’t claim to be Christian since the Founding Fathers…Think about that!
You are charged with bringing the Word to the multitudes or something like that. They probably won’t thank you for it, especially if you’ve knocked on their door with the Good News and awakened them.
Stay away from Atheists all ye who would lose a time consuming debate to snark. Likewise avoid those who call themselves ‘spiritual’ – don’t knock on their door, they live for it. Failing to make their point, they will set the dogs on you. Small dogs can leave germ – laden little bite marks, you know.
The author of this video claims to know what smart people think about. Maybe he does. I assure you he doesn’t know what MENSA people think about – other than how cool it is to be in MENSA, while sneaking a peek at their laminated card, and wondering how many lowlifes in any room could possibly even know what MENSA means.
According to Mr. Smartyguy, smart people devote a great deal of time to thinking. I have to take his word for it…What is your opinion about his theory? Shown in a graph are the things the author feels smart people think about – in no particular order: He is certain they think about Woody Allen and their own intelligence. Tweets take up valuable thought space, as does snark which looms large, and finally grammar – a dying art, which perhaps they will revive, much like the handlebar ‘stash, unicycles and tweed caps.
In conclusion: “Everyone worships something. Just try not to be a dick about it.”
