one doesn't need to be brain dead to be spiritually dead...

one doesn't need to be clueless to be a pawn.

one doesn't need to have a low I.Q. to be on his knees before the Serpent.

alot of so called near genius's are of the virtual walking dead.

dry bones, so to speak.

rattlin' along till they collapse in a heap as they have no real foundation but have built their future on the Lie.

hence a fool is one who has hitched his star to the wrong wagon and wakes up one day to find it's an albatross around his neck as the waters rise exponentially around him.

for all his worldly knowledge he is clearly over his head, in this.
