Yeah. And furthermore. I would like to hear your opinion on the following:
Last night I was thinking. It is in my opinion, and some others, that a good person who tolerates extreme evil violence and cruelty. May be a good person at heart. But not in practice. Evil is the enemy of good. You can't allow evil to go about poisoning everything. As Leonardo said: "He who does not punish evil commands it to be done." At heart a good person could be good. But if he tolerated extreme evil then at least in practice he isn't.
So since faith and superstition is the enemy and perhaps even the reverse of the scientific method - and scientific thinking. For the same reason as the above paragraph, perhaps you could say that someone who is a scientist but tolerates faith and superstition can be a scientist at heart but he isn't in practice?
And after all what tolerates faith, a scientist's enemy, when you're a scientist, more than having faith yourself? You're an enemy to yourself TOO. You betray both your faith and your science.
Or is that going too far? What do you think? Its just an idea. I was thinking about it last night.
