politics actually effect the world I live in, but everyone here also knows that I am interested in other things.
Is that a "no" then?

beliefs of all sorts actually effect the world we live in, mrdobolina. Not just politics.
- flagellum0
and it is underlying world views which drive politicians to make many of the decisions they make.
- mrdobolina0
but do you have thoughts that do not relate to religion?
- flagellum0
no, mrdobolina. It's all I EVAR think about. ;)
- flagellum0
and I talk more about science and philosophy these days than I do "religion".
- mrdobolina0
religion is nothing but philosophy.
- flagellum0
religion is for legalists.
- mrdobolina0
I dont know what that means.

Nonsense, Lemming. Early Christians were killed because they refused to denounce Christ as Lord and confess Nero as Lord.
This really is remedial history, I mean, c'mon.

(Mar 22 07, 04:58)i was gonna debate that, but it's much more ammusing to show how xtians turned around and did the same thing once in power.
free thinking women being the biggest threat...

" There was a woman at Alexandria named Hypatia, daughter of the philosopher Theon, who made such attainments in literature and science, as to far surpass all the philosophers of her own time. Having succeeded to the school of Plato and Plotinus, she explained the principles of philosophy to her auditors, many of whom came from a distance to receive her instructions. On account of the self-possession and ease of manner, which she had acquired in consequence of the cultivation of her mind, she not unfrequently appeared in public in presence of the magistrates. Neither did she feel abashed in going to an assembly of men. For all men on account of her extraordinary dignity and virtue admired her the more. "
-Socrates Scholasticus
And xtians murdered her for it.
See, you've always feared the free mind.
Hypatia then, evolution now.
How little has changed.

Oh come on. That's like saying all Muslims are terrorists. Are they Lemmy? Are all Germans Jew-killers?
Please. You can't label the entire group by the actions of the extreme few. I'm sure we could all come up with plenty of examples of actions taken in the name of science or just about anything else that we would all now consider reprehensible.
That said, I'm not arguing that terrible things have never been done in the name of Christianity.

LMAO It's a tad long too. They could've edited it down to 2 minutes and a half.

nah, you missed it...
what i'm saying is all religious fundamentalists impeed human progress.

they said the sun orbits that flat...
they said sceualr creativity is the devils work...
they said you can't disect human cadavers to treat illness...
they say evolution is a sham.
they say zygotes have human souls and must be born.
they say embryos aer better thrown away than used for research.
detect a pattern?
always has been, always will be.

lemmy, I got to disagree with you in one sense - and although I dislike fundamentalism in all forms - the fact that it still exists after millenia of evolution in our species means it does provide some evolutionary benefit to our species, so in that sense it doesn't necessarily impede "progress". I am sure, under certain environmental conditions fundamentalism is a survival strategy with a long track record of success.
That said, as our species becomes more interconnected globally it does seem to be more of a detriment than a survival trait.
So see, I defended fundamentalism using science, and evolutionary science at that. Scary, no?
