Let's review how much stupidity can be crammed into just seven posts.[MST3K mode]
pezcollectorguy wrote:The one thing I have observed about Scientists is that they appear to be very religious people. Each effect has a cause and there's a reason for every action. This mindset is not unlike the Catholic religion in it's legalistic worldview.
Joel Robinson: Catholic Lawyers? Papal law schools? What is the world comming to?
I believe everyone has a religion. Even those who religiously deny God have a belief system focused around non belief.
Tom Servo singing: "
I believe I can fly"
I don't understand why christians fear science so
Crow T. Robot: Maybe because you don't understand much.
[Science and Christianity is] basically the same thing.
Servo: Just like computers and throwing spears!
It's all unproven theories. The theories of science and religion as to how the world began for example. They are both very creative stories but there is NO proof. Let's face it, there never will be. We weren't there.
Joel: Except one makes sense and the other reminds me of the movies we've been watching.
Why do people fight over these issues?
Crow: Because Don King is in charge of
everything.
Wether it be superman, God, or Science, none of which have anything to do with reality.
Servo: What do you mean superman isn't real?
As for me, what do I believe? I believe everything is suspect and the only reality relies within me. I can't prove anything else.
Joel: And what makes you think anyone actually cares what you believe?
I also believe only religious people will answer this message.
Crow: Your personal beliefs can jump up my butt.
I'm crazy
Servo: Thats the first thing you've said that I can buy.
because I understand the fleeting reality of all situations?
All: all hail the fleeting reality!
No, it is naive folks like you that blindly follow your cult leaders into battles and wars that need the psychological counseling.
Joel: Talk about the blind leading the blind.
As for me, I am a realist.
Servo: Thats why I deny that anything exists.
My outlook on life is both logical and self actualizing.
Joel: Self actualizing? eeew, stop masturbating on your computer.
You're obviously a bitter person of little logical stimuli.
Crow: Eh, you've got enough stimuli already bub.
Everyone believes in something.
Joel as pezcollectorguy: Me, I believe in making a complese ass out of myself.
Wether it's made up or not. That's a reality of life. To some people, sex is their god.
Servo: And with good reason. There's something that
should be worshipped.
To other's it's science.
Crow: And to others its lemmings.
Than there's the folks who believe there's some sort of higher being over us all waiting to smush us at a whim.
Joel as pezcollectorguy: They have as much sense as I do.
All I am saying is that everyone of us has a belief system. We call it different things but the feeling is the same. Most of the time it isn't real so people like to inject themselves with the lie once in a while. That's why scientists like to read and christians go to church. It's all about religion. Whatever people practice on a regular basis. It's really quite logical if you think about it.
Crow: Of course since I don't know how to think, I can't actually verify that.
This coming from a person that doesn't understand the fundamental differences between science and religion. There are no differences! That's the point.
Joel: On my head
You have yet to prove me mistaken.
Servo: You have yet to prove you have a brain.
As you may or may not know a Mr. Webster wrote the first dictionart in the english language. He considered himself to be not only christian but "born again" your only sefence comes from a book filled with christian propaganda and a religious slant. That's pretty weak.
Crow: Almost as weak as my argument.
Joel: Or my IQ score.
Servo: Or my bicepts.
Try to use your brain instead of a book you know little about.
Crow: Yeah, look whose talking.
Sorry I left the forum. I'm having internet problems.
Servo: I forgot how to use a computer
Anyway, To me the term religion denotes a repetitive action.
Joel: Ah, waves on the beach are religion. Brilliant!
As far as me being a moron
Sevo: Thats right.
because I'm accepting of everyones beliefs and logically considering the facts before me... so be it. On this message board I see folks defending science with a furver that would put most "religious" people to shame. Science is something you believe in.
Crow: Don't forget sacrifice animals to!
It obviously means a lot to you guys. That being said I believe it's a religious belief based on the appearance of facts. Often, these facts change and become refined. That makes it a religion of change. Everyone has to have something to believe in. I find this fascinating.
Joel: I've got my head so far up my butt, I never realized the inside of my rectum looked so cool.
I have been accused of being ignorant because my world view is different than most of the folks on this bbs. I am merely expressing my viewpoint that everyone believes in something. This is the main point and it has yet to be attacked.
Crow: Of course since the main point
has been attacked, and I was just to stupid to know about it, that proves the accusations of stupidity to be absolutely correct.
Largly, side issues that I've brought up have been attacked. I have lived and discovered life on my own and this is what I have come up with.
Joel: He lives by himself. No women want him.
Several of you have given seroius responses and those I do appreciate.
Servo: Thats why I've ignored every single one of them.
However, I am astonished with the "adults" on this bbs that resort to swearing and insults... As if anything they say will ever be taken seroiusly with that limited vocabulary. That being said, I do believe that anything that revolves around a persons life constitutes a religion.
Crow: Like the marbles rolling around inside my head.
This phrase has spurred some anger and hard feelings by people who have not put much thought into their lives.
Servo: Of course any thought is more than this guy has.
It's very interesting how someone who searches for truth in life and comes up with an unpopular theory becomes a "moron" not a "pioneer."
Crow: Maybe thats because said person is in deed a certified moron?
In any event, beliefs are a touchy subject and just because someones truth is different than yours does not make it less valid.
Joel: Don't you just love the tautologies?
