You are hardcore about this topic.
Not really. For example, if I know that the sky is blue and someone comes on here and says, "Nyah ha! The sky is
plaid! I'll believe what I want!", I can't reply with something to the effect of, "That's f**ked up, you little retard!" I have to ask for them to give reason(s) for their misperception and then explain why it contradicts the laws of nature, etc.
Is the topic of his humanity important to me? No. Do I like to debate? No. Does it bother me when I encounter delusional people? No, it scares the shit out of me! When I hear the insane ramblings of such people, it makes me wonder why they were not taught critical thinking in school. It makes me wonder how many other people are like them and what else they and the other people believe.
There are groups of people who are trying to crumble the scientific community with their pseudoscientific bullshit by trying to get their drivel taught in public schools and, for reasons unknown, they want to throw our knowledge of the world and universe back to the Dark Ages. Everytime I see someone post something that goes against an established fact, I think of those glassy-eyed zombies who follow those special interest groups' "teachings" and wonder why they won't accept the words of those who had created the character in question and why they can't used previously observed data to come to a conclusion.
