I am just tired of science threads being trashed by fundamentalists who interject their religious beliefs into non-religious discussions.
They have driven away a lot of scientists from this website. In the real world the same attitudes have driven away a lot of folks--whose votes are ever more critical--from the conservative cause.
I happen to believe that conservatism does not equal anti-science fundamentalism, and I am resisting that equation wherever I can.
OK?
I’m sure they’re being prayed for, though.
Ok, we can all see your motives and that’s a good thing. My motives are actually very similar. I also would hope to see a flowering of scientific discussion on this website. I see that folks who believe in scientism have a harsh, materialistic, survival-of-the-fittest demeanor that drives many from discussing philosophical implications on this website. I think that scientism is rapidly becoming a religion, and that’s part of the reason why the adherents want to have a caucus-type protection for their discussions. I think we simply need just a little bit more structure in how we set up the crevo discussions and things should go just fine.
In actuality, my secret motive comment was not aimed at you, it was aimed at the other recipient.
