The more "educated" one becomes, the harder it is for them to have faith in Christ. It's a form of self-worship that I'm guilty of myself. Thank God for his mercy and grace, seriously. Just repent
No.
Usually the more "educated" one becomes, the more they are open let go of fairy tale stories and realize life is very much worth living and its very freeing to rid yourself living your life by a child's bed time story. There is not a single logical reason for believing in this God/Spirit Mumbo jumbo, this "personal relationship with your savior" or whatever nonsense people are calling it these days to try to make it sound more appealing than the hundreds of other religions around the world.
I can understand how easy it is in the south to get caught up in the Christianity fling, though. It's ingrained into the culture.

Actually I'm dead on. It is self worship to the core. The more learned (emphasize the last syllable) one becomes, the more reliant on self they become. The more you know, the more you think you know it all.

Such hubris. There are plenty of people more educated than you who don't pretend to have the answers as you do.

If atheists are so immune to "fairy tales" why did you overwhelmingly vote for Obama twice?

When you say the more educated one is the more they let go of such fairy tales, and I guess you mean the faculty lounge theoreticians at our universities. I go to Mass on Sundays and amongst the congregation are Cardiologists, Urologists, Vascular Surgeons and numerous primary care physicians. I guess they haven't been educated enough.

In my years of experience in the Church, I've observed the less educated people receiving miracles more than the educated folks. Not to say that both groups aren't the recipients of the favor of God though.
