I can't remember who it was but there was an guy who wrote a book about growing up in the church and being a very good young preacher but started questioning his faith after going to college. He said that some of the senior church members warned him about going and said that college "ruined" many people of faith.

Yea, kinda says "we're dumb, and proud of it" doesn't it?
