Even from the wikipedia article it is onvious that the term scientism has a secondary meaning, used by the opponents of knowledge (e.g. Austruan schoolers like Hayek or cratards like you), viz "scientism is a belief, and scientists evil because it refuses to take our beliefs into account despite the fact that we have nithing to support our beliefs".
Where did you get that from, in the article? The dictionary entry at the end, does include a secondary meaning, referencing the methods or techniques used by a scientist. However the main part of the article is about what Steve was discussing. It's also how I have normally seen the term used. But in the end, it is really about how Steve meant the term to be applied; wouldn't you agree?
By the way, I've noticed an increase in just flat out insults (apart from the discussion lately). I don't know about the others, but I find that encouraging.
Yes because an "insult" is far worse than being murdered because someone else thought you insulted them. By your logic being insulted justified the Hebdo attackers.
I really do get tired of repeating this.
Are there persecuted Christians? YES, but you are NOT one of them. Kurdish Chrsitans and Koptic Christians in the middle east have lots to worry about. But so do Sunni Muslims who live under Shiite majorities. So do Shiites who live under Sunni majorities. But so do any atheists or LGBT who live in closed theocracies.
I really don't want your pity party here when nobody broke down your door and nobody is forcing you to post here.
Atheists get equated to dictators, we get called immoral all the time. Spare my your fake indignation.
Now grow up. Nobody wants you dead. Nobody is going to have you arrested. Nobody is out to get you. We simply think your claims are crappy.
