However, in reference to the stereotype (which, sadly, Gart falls into), their level of intellect is incredibly hindered by their lack of seeing beyond their common depiction of what's simply "correct." By this, I'm referencing their inability to see credibility in people that don't simply spew "I'M CREDIBLE, VOTE FOR ME!", and the religious upholding of most of their beliefs. I know, people would prefer this not to become a religious debate, but the fact of the matter is: it's considered to be a "mental evolution" for those who do not follow a religion. The mind has the ability to comprehend and produce much more without the hindrances promoted by your average, mainstream religion. They're systems of control, and are factually untrue according to their own flawed writings (which isn't simply "oh they misspelled something, you're just nitpicking!", but, rather, completely falsely proclaimed statements.
