Duck: The religion of stoopid people .....
You should put me in that group. I’m only sure of one thing. The rest . . . not only do I not know, I don’t care much that I don’t know. Keeps things really interesting. Everything tends to look fresh to me.
Be well.

That's funny, I thought that's what science did to you.

No, science is based on falsification, not on continuous hermetical confirmation of what you already believe you know...

As I said before, science searches for answer, religion thinks it has them all. All science has done for me is show me how little I do know.
Good try Paul.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:6
Pretty simple, but if you think about it, it covers a lot of territory.

Justice, not religion is the foundation of our society and Justice is not based on an ancient and unyielding narrative created by man.
Justice is base upon the reflection of our deeds and man's ability to have empathy and regret.
Spiritual belief's unguided by archaic dogma only help in the pursuit of Justice.
I wouldn't say that about pure science.

How so? Are you a proponent of pure science?
Would you start culling the weak and afflicted among us for the betterment of mankind?
Shall we start embryo screening? Why not?

That's wonderful! I wouldn't think anyone would argue about the critical roll science has played in the advancement of our society.
Now please go back and read my post. It related to the guiding principles of Justice.
A quick summation would read-
In regards to Justice:
Dogmatic religion- bad
Pure science- bad
Example- 77% of people released from prison go on to commit a new crime within five years, yet society bets on those 23% making good.
For a second, do you think our laws are based solely on statistical analysis?
If you were a quadriplegic should my tax dollars go to help support you? Base on pure science I could certainly win an argument that resources could be put to better use.
Embedded in our laws is an irrational belief system that ignores pure science.

What's in your wallet?
Oops...
What's in your ethic?
I find the idea that religion is required for ethics and morality silly.
Borgia?
Even the Dalai Lama's over it.

I don't think anyone wants to get rid of all Religions,
well maybe some do
what we really want to do is criticize what we don't like about them, and hopefully wake some people out of their dependence on them

All narratives do not yeild over time.
what is yeild?
good to know that others "typo" too.
maybe wonder how our "vision" of a word makes it to the screen through the keyboard via the hands, and what a fraught path it be

Werner, I like you, but that makes no f*#king sense.
You do know that you're practicing your own version of religion...
...right?
Do you know what the definition of hypocrisy.
Hint: That my picture is by it in the dictionary doesn't count.
