Academia as cult

Bug Girl has a great post about academia as a cult.  Now I understand my feelings of unworth and the near-physical aversion reaction that even thinking about non-academic jobs gives me.

    Actually, its simple a reflection of the elitists atheist mentality.

    And rest assured, atheshits are elitists. They think everyone who is not an atheist is a moron, and they think nothing is higher than themselves.

    An excellent definition of elitism in its purest form.

    Thank God they do not currently have control over us.

    Every time they get control it means totalitarian rule.

    I’m rather confused by Legion. I guess he thinks all academic scientists are supposed to be atheists?
    Interesting.
    and his website is extremely amusing :)

    I couldn’t make heads or tails of the comment myself, but it appears that Kristine (Amused Muse) has had problems with Legion (and banned him from her blog).
