@lightbrownpoop but yeah, in a sense you are correct, by which I mean that Christianity showed us what to do by being a near-perfect example of what not to do. The hilarity begins at this point.
@lightbrownpoop and yet equality to all humans is not Christian at all (slavery, women cannot teach, other religions are inferior and their practitioners should be burnt alive etc etc the list goes on), and also it was Islam that preserved the scientific knowledge of the Greeks. Not to mention that the God of the Christian bible clearly holds belief without evidence in a higher esteem than logic and scientific experimentation.
Basically, get out or get cockslapped out the door - you choose
@Dragon0007 so pervasive was such thinking in western culture that phrases like "all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights" were taken to be self-evident truths at the founding of the U.S. you should thank Christianity for giving you science and human rights. imagine what the declaration of independence would look like if it were drafted today, when some of our leading intellectuals are telling us we've pulled ourselves up by our own bootstraps.
@Dragon0007 lmao @ you. biblical thinking played a foundational role in all that went into the formation of the western culture. giving rise to modern science, as c.s. lewis put it "men became scientific because they expected law in nature and they expected that because they believed in a lawgiver. the chief aim of all inverstigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order which has been imposed on it by God."
science does conflict with a belief in god, because belief in god is willingness to believe without evidence which is an assault on the very principles of the scientific method. The same scientific method that is almost certainly the reason that anyone reading this is even alive today. You owe your fucking life to the very thing that you betray every second with your unjustified belief in the supernatural.
@ChristianMission If your gonna make accusations like the ones you just made you should back it up with some evidence. I know how you Christians struggle with the concept of evidence, but ti's really needed here or it's just hearsay and slander.
ID teaches earth is flat that human appeared out of nowhere by magical powers of god that sun revolves around earth that all species were wiped out by the flood among other crazy things like unicorns and dragons
Harris did explain his reasons in the article for why he is uncomfortable with the nomination. If you do not like them, argue against them. It isn't enough to simply dismiss him as a bigot.

You cannot be an ardent seeker of materialistic knowledge (science) while holding a belief in a Bronze Age sky fairy.
If you don't understand the problem here, I cannot undo the damage and explain it to you...I suggest professional help.
