In no way shape or form are any non believers in this thread acting like or even slightly resembling genocidal maniacs, supremacists, or their followers. You have clearly never met anyone like that to bring the weak attempt of trying to compare us to them.Originally Posted by ATGD7154xBBxMZ
All you've been doing is assuming intent, motives, and creating your own narrative to post nonsense.

If this were a majority Jewish nation, (or Muslim or any other religion) where their religious principles were being pushed upon others, or played a part in politics, I'm sure you would here more of those arguments. It just so happens US is a majority Christian country.
I rarely see orthodox Jews in social settings and I'm not about to go invading parts of BK just to tell them. Unorthodox Jewish friends and associates on the other hand know the deal. Usually leads to healthy heated discussion where some acknowledge the arcane rules and others just stick to their guns/fade out of it.Originally Posted by Patrick Bateman

I would just like to add that very soon, Science will become just as radical as Roman Imperial Catholicism was 1000's of years ago. And I mean very soon.
So I guess the "how religion USED to treat people" argument will be invalid in a decade or so, when science suppresses you moreso than you can ever imagine. Science has been suppressing you for awhile already and most of you don't even know it.
EDIT:
I am not a supporter of religions but a supporter of beliefs.
Falsifying data is not what I am referring to. I am talking about using science to oppress and suppress. Breaking down molecules to put together ingredients that you consume. Synthetic medication. Media broadcasting is a form of psychology based off of electronic and cognitive sciences, and is absolutely effective.Originally Posted by sillyputty

Scientists that falsify data sooner or later DO get caught. All it takes is for someone to try and replicate or investigate their findings and the whole thing collapses like a house of cards.
Peer review is one of the most powerful tools of inquiry and consistency we've ever created.

Peer review is 99.99% nonexistent in what I am speaking about.
Whether you believe it or not, these are facts to me.

1.
If something is true, it will be true regardless of the position taken. Thats what validity is.
If its only true to "you" it doesn't make it true. Its subjective with regard to only your perception.
Now, do I agree with you on the impact of media on social psychology? Sure. But does that have anything to do with the topic? Not in the slightest.
2.
I fail to see how bring up the use of the scientific method for adverse methods legitimizes the existence of a higher power/ god/ whatever.
This isn't about iRobot.
Its about the validity of your claims for supernatural assertions.

These are facts in the food industry, pharmaceutical sciences and media production.
The serving proportions of the current Food Pyramid does in fact lead to diabetes and a prolonged acidic body, etc. This is the use of science to weaken the masses. The use of Aspirin does in fact suppress your liver, which is responsible for filtering toxins out of your body. Many other chemicals are developed -- through science -- that are meant to be sold for large amounts of profits, while mass distributing side effects. Yet diabetes cures such as bittermelon -- which is only embraced in eastern science -- is a proven natural remedy to prevent/treat diabetes. Yet science is not used to push natural medications only synthetic profit generating medications. That is proof that science can be corrupted and used for oppression -- yet you are not going to hear any believers/scientists say that we need to rid the world of science and those who practice it.
There's too much of this "I want to interfere with your brain because of what other people have done to other people" in this thread, as well as the whole world.

First of all, science isn't a "thing." Its not an entity. Its an approach. Its a form by which we ask questions and validate their conclusions.
Any attempt to understand and manipulate something is science. We make assertions and then we test them. If they hold up, then the claim is supported. If they don't, the claim is dismissed. If someone wants to try to prove the claim again, they are sure free to. However, if they fail to do so, their repeated attempts do not establish the validity of the claim.
Second of all, any enhanced or improved understanding of a concept or situation can be used as much for harm as it can for good.
I would hope that you would not attempt to use thissophomoricframework for a legitimate argument.
Better yet, if you feel that we should have people who suggest ridding the world of "science" in order to prevent the use of "information" for malevolence, then what is the usefulness of spiritual and supernatural claims? Do they prove their worth and assertions? Do they substantiate their claims? Do they offer literal and measured benefits? Until they do, their utility, in ANY form is not established and should not be remotely accepted.

I don't care that people fight over religion.
People fight over women's genitals.
It is, what it is.
However, the claims for which they seem to each support are not substantiated in either direction.
Look man, this is really frustrating and I'm trying not to offend you, but you are saying NOTHING of importance to the topic.
How do your qualms with institutionalized western medicine prove that there is a supernatural being?
This is akin to saying that gays cause earthquakes and hurricanes...or that chanting while dancing around fire and painting our faces causes rain to fall.
You have single handedly avoided each attempt to realign the discussion around the original topic.
Because this is your reasoning behind the expression of your own opinion. You've stated this reasoning many times.Originally Posted by sillyputty

Uh...What?�
I answered each and every sentence.
You're talking about people using advancement in technology to control lives.
I'm asking why your claims of supernatural and spiritual entities are valid.
Why or how are those remotely related?

"Science" it self is not good, or bad. Its how its used. Its merely a vehicle to more consistent and reliable understandings of the world.
The food pyramid has however allowed for greater understanding of general nutrition and the qualities of how to use our metabolisms. They aren't perfect standards but they are beneficial. It has introduced both safer and more reliable forms of mass food consumption that have greatly improved lives from a public health stand point.
OK. Thats capitalism. Any issue regarding economics does not have anything to do with the validity of your claims for supernatural or spiritual entities.
