Woman burned alive for 'sorcery' in Papua New Guinea

Oh, so your saying 'science' is 100% reliable 100% of the time? That absolutly no 'faith' is expended in believeing the current version of reality 'science' has offered you?

Hey, perhaps you'd like to explain to us all why faith is a dirty word when used to describe science, but not religion? Or are you just that much of a mealy mouthed hypocrite?

Beyond that, no, there is no faith in science, because the moment that new things are discovered that prove an aspect of science wrong, science changes. Science has no faith because science has nothing to put its faith in; faith is belief without evidence, and science moves only within the realm of what it can prove.

Two things: I used the word bigot to describe one member because his actions literally matched the oxford english dictionary's defination word for blessed word. Yes I did so because I could, but also to show the level of hyprocrisy he was willing to stoop to, inorder to convict 'christianity.' Essentually he had to become or drop his intergerity below those in whom he thought he was persecuting. but none of that mattered to him. Meaning he is not a man of principle nor honor, if he was willing to sacerfice the very same principle and honor he was fighting for to figurtivly come out with the same net result as those he condemned. that's what a bigot is Brian, and that is why I happily identified him as such.

I have no bigotry, you human-shaped nexus of idiocy. Bigotry requires a target; I don't needlessly hate religious people, because I'm well aware that not all religious folks act the same. I have religious friends, I've dated religious people, and at no point have we had so much as an argument about that. I do, however, dislike religion both as a concept and as an institution because it causes horrible pain and holds back the progress of society while offering nothing that could not be achieved through secular means. Do you ever think that maybe the reason I come across as hateful to you is because I genuinely dislike you because you're a pig ignorant, lying, hypocritical oaf who does no credit to either your religion or your species? I'm halfway to writing off evolution once and for all because I refuse to believe that natural selection would allow the kind of fifth rate genes that make you up to have survived into the modern era. Maybe that's why I come across as hateful: I don't hate religious people in general, I just hate you.
