Reread your bible. That "depart from me, I never knew you" is Jesus talking to people who think they're Christian, who proselytize around the world (such as on Yahoo Answers?) and who feel smug and self-righteous around non believers. Someone not too unlike you?

That is only your judgement and your broad-brush generalization.
Not reality.
You are obviously at odds with education/scholars. Have you thought why? I've also known many religious scholars of varying faiths and commitments. Your 'question' is so bigoted and assumptive that it comes over mostly as a self-righteous rant that is ironically espousing 'humility'.
Humility and education are not opposites. Religion and education are sometimes opposites.
I take it that you will righteously refuse all of this 'prideful knowledge' and live without modern medicine, powered transport, vaccinations, surgery, man-made fibres, hybrid foodstuffs, engineering, plastics, computers, electrical power etc etc etc, oh, and education in general?
Go for it!

I am a beliver of GOD.
I am from a place where one of the greatest Aethist lived.
Basically you ask one question, what do you mean by god.
I hope many people will say he is one who will help us if you pray at him regularly. They make prayer as licenced beggery.
Because, many of us follow one law, that is, we will help those who are loyal to us rather than some who is genuine. We expect, if not belive, God also to be like us. If one who can be influenced like this can not be a GOD at all.
Most of aethist also blame the way we do rituals.
Tell me onething clearly, if i dont do my duties and help others simply sit in the church and cry, do you think GOD will help me on the judgement day.
If you think yes... even the god can not help

Is this another way of saying,
"I didn't stay in school as long as I should, and because of my emotional baggage I've ended up in some menial job and no meaningful relationship. Therefore, I have taken up a strong faith in the Lord, and embrace it, because it demands of me no pressure to learn or be different, only to conform and love and be one with the Lord and His followers.
I secretly envy those who pursue a scholarly track, but in my heart their knowledge intimidates me, thus I turn the other cheek and embrace the Lord and let the slings and arrows of outrageous fact and reproducible science bounce off me like so many words."

Paul wrote of this, when he said
18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."[c]
20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
Pride was the downfall of satan, how many will let thier pride lead them to hell.

If you are a Christian then you know that it is impossible to be Godless. I don't think learning is a bad thing. Neither is thinking for yourself. I don't pretend to know the answers or think I am better than you or anyone for that matter. I simply have a problem with blind faith.

So you're saying that 4 billion people in this world don't know love or wisdom?

Because all your talk of love is not supported by your bible and you are unable to understand that. The average Christians knowledge of the history, authorship, and contents of their bible is miniscule at best. What's worse is the lack of any desire to learn about it on their part is appalling.

I think you will find that the intellectual scholars are wise, or else they would not be intellectual scholars, belief in god has nothing to do with wisdom and intelligence. Nothing at all.

Because they are right. Many people do not need a God, and you have no right to tell them they are wrong when you have no proof of a God. What makes you think you can even speak for a God?
