Re: Faith = Religious Stupidity
Your sarcasm reveals a lot about your ideas of worship.

The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).
When both religious and non-religious people reach the same conclusions then you know religion isn't the reason.--Percy

Then you do not understand what motivates scientists.
Perhaps I don't. Can someone enlighten me? We already know what motivates believers...so in all fairness lets discuss the other side.

Re: Faith = Religious Stupidity
You don't even think WRONG exists. Satan sure fooled you! And I can imagine why you are so angry with those Priests. They tried to molest you and yet wouldn't let you molest women!

Science: Our Superior
AZAntiTheist writes:
Science is your superior. Science drives faith to its knees and explodes reality into the light where you try to hide your gods. They are still missing.
I've got my gods stuffed under the mattress where they are quite safe. My only comment is that saying that Science is my superior is like saying Oxygen is my superior and Nitrogen isn't.
Science may well be your superior. Perhaps your Mother Superior?
