What made you think she ever had the potential to be great?

Is it because if she didn't, and yet still made it into the same IB program as you, then that would suggest the IB program isn't really so much of a reliable badge of distinction for you to wear?

For me, faith does not so much bespeak of lack of cleverness. Many Christians I know are some of the cleverest people in the art of deceiving others through deceiving oneself. Faith for me bespeak of a lack of mental rigor and intellectual discipline, and a confusion between the truth and what one might convince oneself to pretend to be true.
