@TheBudhistpunk If you disagree with someone, you reason with them; you don't clutch at straws and attempt to insult their character - that's the mentality of a child.

@kendo512 Do fuck off, you thick dullard.

@TheBudhistpunk Because it's only obvious that it's better to embrace truth and work with what's real, instead of have a false hope that is nothing more than placebo. You're implying that superstition is fine because it makes people feel safe, but that's cherry picking - superstition doesn't just make people feel safe, it makes them feel scared, irrationally and unreasonably scared.

[TheBudhistpunk]

Why is Dawkins so bothered about superstition? If it's bullshit or not who cares.It makes people feel safe, believing in something more than dispicable human animals, trying to step on each other just to get ahead and own more shit.

Why cant I take off subtitles?

[Haasenpad]

science and religion are two opposites and they are the same, black and white thinking is always wrong whether from religion or science. individual spiritual awakening is prohibited by the religion and by the church... individual scientific discovery is prohibited by religion and science. both keep people stupid and undeveloped.
