"Science is a religion, a very proud one, complete with high priests, believers, faith and mysticism. You wave your mobile phone in the air and proclaim your truths to the radio waves"
Okay, Georgie. Now open your Bible to... well, any chapter, and try to post the same thing, on the same board, on the same internet, using nothing more than the 'Truth' contained therein, and your so-called 'faith'.
(From a thread in 4chan's /b/, in 2007; emphasis added):
'People believe in science because science works.
When your religion is able to teach you how to design and build any object that you can see around you (and if you live in a city, the only non man-made object your eyes can see right now are probably plants if you have any and possibly the sky if you don't live in a basement), then wake me up.
When your religion performs one single life-saving miracle (unlike medicine which, founded upon science, manage to actually do this, and on a daily basis), wake me up.
In fact, simply by writing on this forum, you have faith in the underlying engineering and science that makes the internet work to make it possible for other people to read it.
So if you actually don't believe that science works, please kindly stop using anything that exists thanks to science, and go live in a muddy hole in the ground and eat bugs and roots or something. Otherwise, you just come up as the most fucked up hypocrite ever.
Also, no-one ever said that what we call science is a complete and exact description of how the universe works. Knowing that we don't know is the very reason we can learn things and is why the scientific method works, but since you religion fags have thrown logic out the window a long time ago, you can't comprehend that.'
For something from the Sewer of the 11th Level of Hell that is 4chan's /b/, that Anonymous spoke volumes of how much you reality-denier fundies - with you & your ilk's constant need to maintain that 'science is a religion' - FAIL.
And if 'Science is a religion', as you claim, then do two things for me:
1- Please point out to me where my local 'Science Church' is. Because I'm buggered if I know where it is, and I've lived in this part of the UK all my life. If indeed, 'science is a religion' as you claim, then they must exist - with that exact name on such premises - shuould they not...?!
2- Then you owe we Atheists a shitload of tax rebates, backdated & with interest. Because if, as you claim, 'Science is a religion', then we have the right to Tax Exempt status too. And as you're so eager to maintain that we're a 'religion' too, then you & your ilk must unchain your wallets and fork out untold billions to we Atheists.
...oh, and one more thing: if you lot claim that - unlike Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, & even $cientology - that your brand of so-called 'Christianity' isn't a religion, but a 'personal relationship with Jesus', do you want to make that call to the IRS, or shall I...?!
Catch-22 can be such a sadistic bitch when she wants to be, eh?!
Remember: you lot have got untold trillions to pay in back taxes, backdated & with interest; just before you've paid what's due to we Atheists. No pressure...! >:D
Soooooo... you want to maintain that 'claim' of yours about 'Science is a religion', then...?! [/hyper-Schadenfreude]
