Pericolos0 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 And I'm not atheist. And you don't see the contempt Kosmo and Pericolos0 shows someone of your faith? They are not just finding that any similarities between Religion and Science is preposterous, the way they write about it clearly shows how they look down upon those who have what they lack, faith. Did I ever say I am an atheist? I do not look down on anyone that is honest about their religious views. I do look down on people that ignore or avoid counterarguments just so they can keep believing what they want to believe (and push that belief on their peers). And this is something i yet need to encounter in modern science
mawibse Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 I have faith...that if I ever get severely ill, the modern medicine will have a cure.....what I lack, is blind faith. Blind as a bat. Did I ever say I am an atheist? No, and your not saying your not one either, is that to be "honest about their religious views"? I do look down on people that ignore or avoid counterarguments just so they can keep believing what they want to believe Fair enough, but has anyone avoided or ignored counterarguments now? And this is something i yet need to encounter in modern science Most major scientific theories where subject to argumentation and jealous bickering before being generally accepted. Just because it's science doesn’t take away human traits from those practicing it.

Alright, I'll say I do not consider myself an atheïst. Doesn't mean i have "faith" though. You don't even know if tom has faith yet you say i show contemp for a person of his faith I do look down on people that ignore or avoid counterarguments just so they can keep believing what they want to believe Fair enough, but has anyone avoided or ignored counterarguments now? nope, which is great =) And this is something i yet need to encounter in modern science Most major scientific theories where subject to argumentation and jealous bickering before being generally accepted. Just because it's science doesn’t take away human traits from those practicing it. Completely true, but these theories do eventually get dismissed and die. While in mass religion it's apparently acceptable to still have ridiculous aged views. I have no idea where this discussion is going :derp:
Kosmo Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Posted January 26, 2006 I have faith...that if I ever get severely ill, the modern medicine will have a cure.....what I lack, is blind faith. Blind as a bat. Oh man, I'm called blind by a guy who thinks the king of fairies will take him to heaven... Mom allways warned me of these days. Besides, I have faith in modern medicine and science, that doesn't mean that they cay cure everything, but you know what.. if they can't, your voodoo mumbo jumbo won't either I have yet to meet a guy who was actually cured by some sort of religion, and I see thousands of people every day that are alive because of modern medical science.

Completely true, but these theories do eventually get dismissed and die. While in mass religion it's apparently acceptable to still have ridiculous aged views. And when the do change people make posts about god being wrong. I have no idea where this discussion is going :derp: Well, you saing your not an Atheist I think I'm lost... Oh man, I'm called blind by a guy who thinks the king of fairies will take him to heaven... Mom allways warned me of these days. Not just blind, blind as a bat. Your mom warns her offspring of blindness accusations from king of the fairies beleivers? Your such a lucky guy. :wink: I have yet to meet a guy who was actually cured by some sort of religion, and I see thousands of people every day that are alive because of modern medical science. Pure luck the human race lasted until we was saved by science ehy? And I don't really see the efficency of medical treatment as some proof of gods non existance. Kosmo 1, Religious yahoos 0. Oh bother!
