I forgot about them too!
a bunch of scientists who dismiss religion and religious culture without actually using any science to do so (in the same line of thinking as abolitionists who harbored racist sentiments)..
if you dismiss religion because of science, but don't offer any substance or scientific argument, what is the point? Having blind-faith in Atheism is as much a religion as having blind-faith in a God. Same shit, different toilet.
On the otherside of the coin, religious nuts who misunderstand the very point of religion, arguing for literal interpretations of books of religious song and poetry and legend, and yet do not use their religion for spiritual, personal or emotional growth, rather are not even very religious in the first place.. but they argue against science and reason, things they rarely delve into at all!
Science, quit being such assholes. Religion, give science a break, its in its relative infancy, some 400 odd years of history compared to thousands of years of cultural traditions, heritage, and chief amongst it, bagage.
