Its fucking retarded too btw because the religious before everyone else should be embracing science. God made everything right? And you want to know god as well as possible right? Well then wouldn't you want to objectively study his universe, so that you could better understand the mind of god? No that would actually involve critical thinking and would ruin the whole idea of using religion as a shortcut to moral superiority. |
Yeah...because the comparison of a hard drive to how we came into existence is equal?
I don't understand why the mindset here is that you are either Religious or Scientific, but you can't be both. If you are one, you must hate the other fervently. You cannot follow anything the opposing choice says.
I mean it's about as idiotic to say that as it would be for me to accuse you of picking and choosing parts of religion to follow, because you want to be good person and not steal, kill, etc.
What exactly does science have to do with moral superiority at all? What scientific breakthrough has done anything to the cause of morality? You created a new hard drive for my iPod, which took alot of work, so that is the long way to moral superiority? I'm not following you here...
