Edit Reason: Boru

The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. I define wisdom as sound application of knowledge, is that not how you define it?
I would assume then that the "other" wisdom would be tainted, forced, harsh, not open to reason, full of conviction, biased and insincere.
Should I also provide you with a link to verses about knowledge?
Listen, I understand the world is full of idealistic and unreasonable people and belief systems. Why do so many atheists assume that all faith is a blind faith without evidence, logic and reason? Those are definitions it seems we can never seem to agree on. My point was to counter Fake Messiah's point in the Bible preaching anti-intellectualism. I'm certain there is a metric shit ton of believers that are just blinding doing what their parents taught them growing up for no reason other than, it's something to do. I realize that a lot of people like that, don't like to question their belief, and disapprove of questions from the children they teach. I saw tons of them growing up and in my church. Within that church and lots since, there have been those who encourage questioning, reason and belief.
No one I knew that buried their heads in the sand ever used the Bible to defend that belief, because the Bible actual says some really simple things like Proverbs 12:1 "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. "
Boru- a temp captain at best, he was a bump on a log, I'll throw him in for the running, but he's doomed to lose.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
