I can imagine who you mean. They may not be unintelligent, but knowing the bible from cover to cover doesn't make you educated. They're ignorant and often times wilfully ignorant. Very low horizon when it comes to the real world.
I can deal with stupid. But what I can't stand are people speaking with an air of authority while being wilfully ignorant. And, if presented with evidence, even refuse to look at what's rubbed under their noses.
That's when I usually can't help it. An idiot or moron adress comes quite naturally in these moments.
