your religion of scientism is as imperfect and incomplete as the intelligence and reason of men who fabricated it. in truth, the god you obey, reason, spelled with a capital r, is a synonym for satan. in his worship, millions, especially Christians, have been murdered, from the Huguenots during the french revolution, to the twenty million orthodox kulaks starved to death in the ukrainian holomodor. so take your "reason" and stuff it.

I wonder if one should mention that in the worship of the christian god much more people have been killed,
from the Cathars in France to the jews and not to forget the inhabitants of south america, the victims of the inquisition or the millions of germans that died during the thirty years war.
Funny, also, that he mentions the Huguenots. The first persecution of them took place in the french religious wars during the 16th century in the name of christ (or, more exactly, the catholic church) with a death toll of around 3 millions ;)
"... from the Huguenots during the french revolution..."
WRONG! The French Revolution was the event that gave them full citizenship. Perhaps you are referring to the event 227 years earlier when about 1200 Huguenots were slain at Vassy, France, setting off the Wars of Religion Christians killing other Christians which would rip apart, devastate, and bankrupt France for the next three decades.
"... to the twenty million orthodox kulaks starved to death in the ukrainian holomodor ..."
WRONG AGAIN! Although it is unclear whether the famine that killed them was an act of nature or set in motion deliberately by the Soviet government as an act of genocide, real historians concur that the reason why these wealthy farm-owners were driven from their land was to further the government's concept of "collectivism." Religion had nothing to do with it. If they had all been atheists, their farms would have been confiscated just the same.
"reason, spelled with a capital r,"
At first I assumed his shift key was broken, but then I saw he used it for "Christians" and "Huguenots"...so, I guess wasting the shift key on any other word is blasphemous?
I'm not even sure what "Huguenots" is, but it must be pretty special if it's as worthy of capitalization as "Christians".
You're giving reasons to discard reason? Isn't that--you know--self-defeating?
Well, if you really want to discard reason? OK...
You argument fails because the purple hippo swims in chocolate milk. I win. QED.
SCIENTISM????????????
Fuck off and die.
your religion of christianism is as imperfect and incomplete as the intelligence and reason of men who fabricated it. in truth, the god you obey, fundieism, spelled with a capital f, is a synonym for satan. in his worship, millions, especially Christians, have been murdered, from the Huguenots during the french revolution, to the six million jews gassed to death by nazi Germany. so take your "faith" and stuff it.
Fixed.
WRONG!
Science did not kill them. Improper use of science.
Also, 2.5 to 3.5 million Kulaks starved during the holomodor. Not 20 Million.
And even if it were 20 million...
Science this year alone has saved more than 20 million people... Its kind of awesome!
Oh and if science goes...
You are going to lose everything that comes after the bible's science... So electricity! Internet! IRON. Its all going to go!
"your religion of scientism is as imperfect and incomplete as the intelligence and reason of men who fabricated it."
Good thing Darwin and everybody who fixed up and extended his work were smart people then!
That reminds me of a quote from Albigensian Crusade. Used to answer the Christian soldiers who had captured a particular castle and wanted to how to only kill the Huguenots heretics and avoid killing the true believers.
“Kill them all. God will know his own.”
As to reason, "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously"
Science is evil, huh? The science that gave you the computer you are now using to access the internet (spelled with a capital 'i') in order to bitch and complain about that very same science? Go live in a cave and grapple with fire, ffs.
While science may not be the be-all, end-all that some people purport it to be, it is a sound thing saving millions of lives and helping even more. It is most certainly not a religion, and I do not see why you would think that logic and reason are tools of Satan. Aren't logic and reason the things that have kept us from destroying ourselves in the last millennium?
Ah, what would YouTube be without its daily dose of dumbfuckery?
It's quite clear you discarded reason long ago. Now go back to your cave and leave civilised society alone.
Let's see,(1) science is not a religion, get a dictionary,(2) reason is not a synonym for satan(see #1),(3) Christians have killed more Judeo-Christians than atheists, see an encyclopedia, look up Inquisition, Crusades, Cathars, Aryan Christians, Holocaust, Thirty Years War, and heresy trials,(4)kulaks were murdered for their land, not religion(similar to what AMERICAN CHRISTIANS did to the American Indian tribes) see an encyclopedia, look up US Westward expansion, Indian Wars, Indian Treaties, "Trail Of Tears", "Wounded Knee", and Indian Reservations.(5) Take your stupid ignorance and "stuff it".
People, pay close attention. This is what stupid sounds like...
er, looks like. same difference
Scientism?
Currently I;m a deskarian, but later I'll be into carism, kitchenism, TVism and then sleepianity until morning.
So am I an atheist, a Darwinist, an Evolutionist, or a scientist? I'm so confused about where to do my Christian infant sacrifices.
Reason = Satan? So God = Insanity? That explains quite a bit, although it was probably not the conclusion he wanted me to go to.
Holomodor! *bursts out laughing* Sorry, I know I can't expect a fundie who comes up with "scientism" to spell foreign words correctly, but it's still funny.
Say it with me:
GOLODOMOR --> starvation plague
HOLODOMOR --> freezing plague
HOLOMODOR --> awesome name for a B-movie A.I. computer
1) Huguenots were persecuted and expelled from France by Catholics.
2) Kulaks were killed or deported for being landowners opposed to collectivization of land. Their being orthodox is irrelevant. The Holodomor killed ordinary peasants, not just kulaks, and was likely a result of brutal incompetence, suppression of information about the famine, and the lack of ration cards for the rural population (it was believed that peasants would find food themselves), coupled with the soviet internal passport system preventing peasants from moving out of famine stricken areas. It was most likely not a planned genocide, as the USSR was at the time trying to increase its population quickly. Censuses, while inaccurate, suggest a death toll of 5 million, not 20. The population of Ukraine is now 50 million, and was lower then.
3) Words have meaning. Observing reality and trying to find reasonable, consistent explanations, or using these to make reliable predictions, is not a religion. And please stop seeing satan everywhere.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
