I'm a strong environmental advocate. Science has ALLOWED us also to view that our poor industrial practices have harmed the environment (once again, science as a tool here) and we now need to make a decision (based on our political philosophy etc) about action. Seriously Iron, I thought you...

But see "science" is not an actual paradigm of thought, it is a method. I thought I made it clear, I agree with your distinction between science and philosophy. For eg, Hiroshima could be called an attrocity, the science of nuclear reaction put to killing people, but the science (the "how-to"...

Of course, but it is not something which should be respected, it should be a given. Although I don't understand how Catholics can consistently attempt (under social pressure) to slowly adapt teachings which are certainly unbiblical- if evolution is true, why was it not described in "Gods book"...

Galileo Galilei; in case you haven't heard of him :p Galileo Galilei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Still haven't told me why you "were born again"? I know you were an atheist, post history.

Such is the danger of our world. These people find their way into our governments and soon enough into the running of our lives. Yet at the fundamental level, they are no longer able to think. Slaves to a celestial ideology- impoverished through a constant reminding of guilt and general...

lol dude just read your ad hominem your struggling man, really reducing your credibility. I mean you can see it at the seams- you know I'm right! Fancy going down the "faith in science" path and comparing this to religious zeal as though its embarrassing (which inductively implies that you see...

Yes you did! The pope circa 13 th century was the most powerful man in Europe. It was heresy to go against the church and its teachings. Critical thought was squashed. What is "spiritual"? If you want to write it off as your philosophy on life and morality, then as I outlined thats acceptable...

Source? I mean, the opposite certainly seems true. Looking back through history at the enlightenment thinkers who brought us to the position of liberty and the general level of happiness we have in 1st world societies today, I would say they were quite good people. Alternatively, I struggle to...

As Mr Hitchens said on a debate about morality and religion which I watched last night- "If you have a theory which attempts to explain everything- it inadvertently explains nothing" (possible misquote, its from memory).

To future readers, would you prefer to live in the world I envisaged above or a celestrial dictatorship resembling the Middle Ages (as religion offered us nothing but opposition to science). Oh Iron, your mental state sir is the joke of this forum. I simply said on "physical" matters, that is...

And we have no interest in your vile delusion. Hopefully it all withers away, otherwise I'm all for establishing a purely secular country which DOES discriminate against religion (I mean Saudi does it!)- no churches, religious schools, religious lobby groups of any kind. Private spiritual...

You give me no reason to believe that there are physical things which need be explained by anything other then the matter which composes it. Morality is a terrible argument. As history has aptly demonstrated (our best source), the moral days are now and still lie ahead (as we become more...

Science and technology has brought us into this forum today. It's allowed our loved ones who become sick to have the best life they can. Its educated us on our origins, on the composition of nature and the beauty of universe. Its brought a standard of living that bronze age men could never have...

Your correct. There is nothing scarier then someone living with "absolute" ideals founded upon faith. I mean look at the "progress" of the first 15 centuries or so A.D.- absolute zilch under theocracies. It is only liberal, secular movements which have delivered freedom, peace, love and...

Ok I admit it! Christ died for our sins - I commit them so His martyrdom isn't meaningless.

This kind of critical thinking is everything I like in a woman. We should do dinner.

I don't think I have... YOU CANT PROVE I HAVEN'T nur nur (the crux of religious logic)

It's interesting looking back through your posts. You were an atheist 5 yrs ago. What happened...

You haven't the slightest fucking clue.

Such eloquence... This post should end the thread.
