i hope that it is not offensive to (using your words) the "more educated" people because it is nothing more than ignorance.

ignorance: the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc.

ignorance doesn't offend me because i am ignorant too... anyone who is not omniscient is in the same boat.

How could I despise others when my eyes are veiled as well to the true reality of god and our existence?
