And for those of you saying that I'm being a b*tch right now, or that I'm not helping myself, I don't give a f*ck! When it comes to my religion, I don't like it when people diss the founder of my religion, who I believe to be an amazing man who saw through lies of society! I still believe, however, that reason and religion can and still do/will exist peacefully together!
Too bad.
Religion has no special place; it will be debated like anything else and it will be dismissed fpr it has been found wanting. It has no special place. It has no special social license.
What exactly is this even supposed to mean? Religion has no special social license? There is no license for anything, only respect. You can debate it all you want, but people tend to get kicks out of baiting the religious into losing their shit so that they can continue to paint the religious as insane and irrational. This is not debate. It is psychological subversion by people who know what they're doing. It is showmanship. I am really perplexed by how someone can attack a creationist with only a very basic knowledge of science for commenting on science with reference to religion, yet when that same person attempts to comment on religion, they do it with a thinly veiled, barbed, loaded comment on religion with reference to science: e.g. "religion is unscientific". Yes, it is. So fucking what? Science is not reverent. Religion and science are two completely and utterly different things. If you comment on one by saying it is not the other, you are adding nothing to the debate, whatever "side" you are on.
