If people are fooled into believing something just because it has the words museum attached to it they are f**king retards anyways.
All the more reason to not let them be lead by people spreading inaccuracies.
QuoteIf they don't have the cognitive reasoning ability to figure that shit out then I don't think you have much to worry about them when it comes to politics.
How do you possibly justify that when America has politicians lobbying for creationism in schools ... ?
QuoteI don't hear many religious people saying they want to wipe out a way of life just because it doesn't suit their aims or belief systems. But you hear that shit ALL THE TIME from non religious people. "f**king Christians, Muslims, we just need to get rid of all the religious zealots and beliefs and the world would be a better place." Check yourself Hitlers.
Nobody's saying that. Nobody's saying "Let's abolish religion" here. That's not the topic
at all. It's presenting outright bullshit as facts to people.
QuoteMotherf**kers are acting like the creationist museum is pumping out the f**king Taliban or some shit. Give me a break.
No we f**king aren't, motherf**kers are acting like creationist museum is pumping out f**king uninformed people who believe make-believe is reality and end up getting a say in what everyone else gets to learn or think.
QuoteSil and a thousand people like him come in telling somebody they can't believe in creationism because it might teach people different than evolution because those same people might come around some day and say that he can't believe in evolution. Sounds like a never ending revolving door of pettiness to me.
Can you at least try to read the argument? It centers around the fact that creationism
isn't science, it
isn't fact, it's
demonstrably false, and teaching it to people
as science,
as fact,
as demonstrably true,
is a f**king bad thing.
People are free to be religious, to believe in God, whatever. But acting like creationism is science, demanding it be taught
in a science class, is wrong, and I don't see why we should take a pansy-arse "live and let live" attitude towards allowing people to systematically
bullshit people into teaching
fantasy as actual
reality.
This isn't a case of fighting religion. I have nothing against religion. But religion is not about teaching creationism in a science class, f**king
wackjobs are about teaching creationism in a science class and I see no reason to humour them. Creationist museums are an extension of that.
