This. There is a huge difference between intelligence and wisdom, as well as common sense. So many smart people are stupid, lemmings. It did disgust me though, how many "christians" pushed it, justified it, and denied all the science showing how bad it might be. Many of my Amish friends (8th grade educated) knew far more than my college educated friends. The Amish around me viewed it as the mark of the beast or a precursor to it, so were adamantly opposed based on religious grounds anyway but also seemed to understand how bad it would be to take it (my community overall does vaccinate their kids for the childhood things, so they are not anti-vax in general, but may be at so.e point in the future)
