Why I Cannot Abide Organized Religion

[Audie]

Religion?

What did I win?

Nothing you would want

Check nearby foe thinking that is tangledy, and squishy like
overcooked noodles.

Only your own, judging from your posts.







Isn't ad hominem considered irrational anymore? Maybe I've simply lived too long...

Lashing out is

It's like I'm back in the 70's, when people thought the vapid platitudes were cool. If you use unevidenced emotional superstition, then you have to demonstrate your conclusions are valid. Logic has already demonstrated its efficacy.

No Sheldon, I don’t have to tailor my language to fit your limited mindset. My point was clear enough, and you just proved it’s accuracy.

I thought you liked metaphors btw?

Damn, I can't catch a break...

I'll use bullet points, as befits my "limited mindset".

1. Straw man fallacy, and I am disinclined to use my "limited mindset" to help edify you.
2. As was my response.
3. I do, as I explained, did you just miss the context, like a blind pig pursuing truffles?

Some people just don't accept logic. They assume that logic is somehow connected to scientific belief and is the same thing.

This coming from someone who thinks logic is equivalent to name dropping and "It makes sent to me"

I suspect that Sheldon is entirely unscathed.

Cant even catch a wannabe philosopher?

Some people believe the world is flat, what's your point?

Well I suspect logic is entirely unscathed, anyway...

Have you noticed how theists who are happy to deny scientific facts, and cast aspersions on science in general, are then too keen to insert words like science and scientists, in front of claims they evidence a deity. The odd thing is I always flick on a news channel when I hear such claims, and not once are they running a banner headline "scientific evidence for god".

If only I we could work out what it means? I mean you think the Catholic Herald would get it right?

Abs-duction of steel!

I've noticed. And the thing is, if they actually did did discover evidence for a deity I was be sincerely excited to learn more. It would be amazing!

Only if they divine it from the entrails of a communion wafer.
