It’s not a ridiculous superstition because it should be challenged. It should be challenged because it’s a ridiculous superstition.

Superstition: an unreasonable belief based on ignorance and sometimes fear

How is scientific knowledge superstitious?

Please provide examples pertaining to other scientists.

I have a running list but it’s not on this computer. I’ll post it when I get a chance. Suffice it to say that in the Bible God and/or people who chat with him kill, or encourage the killing of, infidels when they are minding their own business. See:

Exodus 22:20
Exodus 23:24
Exodus 32:27
2 Chronicles 15:13
Matthew 10:34

I have not read the entire Qu’ran but I have yet to find an instance of Allah and/or people who chat with him killing infidels who are simply minding their own business. Mostly they are killed for the persecution of Muslims. See:

Surah 4:85-90
Surah 8:36-39
Surah 9:120-125

I encourage you to look at the context of all of the passages I’ve mentioned here. Better yet read the Bible and the Qu’ran in their entirety. Then make up your own mind about who is more violent, God or Allah. Regardless they are both simply fictional mythologies and should be treated as such.

Mahatma Gandhi: “Hypocrisy and distortion are passing currents under the name of religion.”

My friend is misguided when it comes to his religious faith. However that is only one aspect of his personality. I don’t know a single person that I love everything about. And in this case my buddies many fine qualities far outweigh his minute and fickle vices.

Lesson 1 – Religion as the Antonym of Science

Religion: A framework of beliefs relating to supernatural or superhuman beings or forces that transcend the everyday material world.

Supernatural: (Latin:super- "exceeding"+nature) forces and phenomena that cannot be perceived by natural or empirical senses, and whose understanding may be said to lie with religious, magical, or otherwise mysterious explanation – yet remains firmly outside of the realm of science.

Antonym: a word opposite of another word: light is the antonym of dark

Science: Science refers to either: the scientific method – a process for evaluating empirical knowledge; or the organized body of knowledge gained by this process.

Empirical: Based on experiment and observation, or based entirely on practical experience.


As I’ve already stated, in other words, my friend is not a loss.

I didn’t hide it the mod did.

As for the rest of your hidden text – I have no idea what you are talking about and I don’t think I want one.
