Give a man religion, and he'll starve praying for a fish.

So who's going to start the 'funny anti-gay pics' thread? Anyone?
does seem to be very common here and generally to attack the obvious absurdities of the various religions , whereas historically science and medicine are and have been used to justify castration lobotomy and straight-forward extermination quite recently . Dr . Mengele was an M.D . and I think published .
come now, my child. if we were planning to harm you, do you think
we'd be lurking here beside the path in the darkest part of the forest?
Sure. Shall I start with that one t-shirt where they greyed out the rainbow?
Laugh. Riot.
You said a bunch of words that meant nothing at all while taking the bait because someone made fun of your 'god' of choice.
Give yourself a hand. Or, rather, another.
The difference between the TRUE psychologists that thought being gay was a disorder and the religious peons that think gay is absolutely wrong is that those psychologies have been dis-proven and reversed, whereas those that believe that we were made in that 'gods' image refuse to believe that being gay is anything but a choice.
"There’s death on the horizon,
and I’ll run to behold your sacrifice..."
Mainstream scientific thought has often been wrong, and wrongly applied to justify inhumane actions. The thing about the scientific method is it is self-correcting. People expect results to be overturned. People anticipate that theories will be improved. You don't usually see religious people say "this dogma is probably wrong" or "I'll publish this revelation for peer review to see if I've overlooked some mistake."
(And if anyone is tempted to assert that the Council of Nicaea is a process equivalent to peer review, I'll just add that journals of science need to be published more than once every 1700 years to keep up with the latest developments.)

Some people expect scientific results to be overturned. Others have a different attitude about it.
Heterodoxy in religious history happens more slowly and more dramatically compared to schism in science. But of course, there are more examples than the Council of Nicaea.
Radical Christians are a bunch of overbearing pussy hypocrite punks profiting, like spoilt brats, from a legal and social system that feeds them while they profess to fight it, just like separatist terrorists do in Europe: they like to quote Lev. 18 against us a lot, but they do not dare to do the same so freely with Leviticus 20, or with some other "anti-American" parts of the Bible that go against the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, because that would land their sorry asscracks in jail, unless they had the fortune of having Aunt History make of America a God&Gun country like Afghanistan.
Is that what the chart was saying?
The Dark Ages left people without the ability to read or write. There was no science, no math and no tools.
I thought the chart was simply saying during the dark ages religion spread.
While in the Renaissance art and innovation spread, for example, and the world as a whole really went far.
When there was only religion, how far did the world go?
looseliam makes the mistake that irrational overrational minds seem proud to make every now and then: the quotation that he dismisses by missing the point was not referring to an accurate term but pointing to an era in Western European history in which everything turned around a church and her perverse use of the belief in and fear of God as a means and excuse to trump up freely a social and political system that oppressed people's minds and bodies, and which can be referred to as "Dark Ages" or as "Loopeypalooley" or whatever other name you like.
If loosey's problem is with accuracy, then he could well indicate that "Dark Ages" is often wrongly equated with "Middle Ages", while Dark Ages is in fact a shorter period within the whole Middle Ages era.

I love this thread. It's all so true, yet believers seem to find a way to "rationalize" it. Like House said, "If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people" Ramen.
"Dark Ages" is an Eurocentric, therefore Westerncentric, therefore Anglocentric term: nothing is considered to be worth a shit until is has been discovered or sanctioned by the EuroWesternAnglo- world: that's why what is in origin used to refer to a local, particular period of a part of the human people, it is used, understood and believed (proof on your own post) to refer to the whole of human history. Since it is the West that is now (still) at the peak of civilized achievement (remember the FDR speech?), everything in the course of human history is considered from that distorting vantage point, and is one of the three points of faith whose cracking is a bigger challenge to the stability and future sane development of the Western heritage than any terrorist, military or/and economic threat: the loss in the faith on democracy, science/rationality and progess/continuous upwards development in the future.
As for the "juvenile and predictable" claim, what would righteous seniors become without their own juvenile and predictable rant on others' juvenile and predictable PranKts.
While there are some delightful bits here, there's also, predictably, an immense amount of ignorance and stupidity represented. Loki pinpointed a good item of that and has dealt with it well. Rather than get in new arguments with people whose faith forbids them from thinking clearly about the matter, I have some favorite pieces of my own to contribute:

"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "![]()

Yeah, those devils under angels' feathery, like this guy justify that saying that, at the end of the day, "others" have abused more kids than the Catholic church ever has... because they so.
^ who? Ramon Perez-Maura?
Yep. I wish I could link you to the "debate" on Cuatro in which he was very satisfied with himself, tapping the tips of his fingers together while he slipped in and out the tip of his tongue on his lower lip, after having declared that, as horrible as the cases of paedophilia in the Catholic Church may be, they still have made suffer less children than "other people".
