Not brain surgery here. Science in a formal lab setting with independent peer review is where knowledge is gained. Getting worked up over any form of entertainment means you are taking yourself way too seriously.
I haven't seen anyone dispute that.

I don't see that at all.
Quote:And even beyond that. People who go this emotionally far with fiction do not understand that this literally how something goes from myth to a real religion. I am not joking about that. If L Ron Hubbard can market words like "space/time" and create a religion out of it, and Joseph Smith can convince people he has magic golden tablets, don't underestimate someone taking that show so seriously that they turn it into a religion.
So what's your solution?
Quote:My only intent of this entire thread is don't treat anything as if it deserves a pedestal. Enjoy it if you like, but don't get so worked up over it to the point you feel like punching someone because they say boo to it. If you are getting that worked up, you are taking the show, and yourself way too seriously.
You're the only one I see in this thread getting worked up... and all over a strawman. You've accused people of saying things they didn't say; you've applied ideas to people in a vacuum. Maybe you should go back and read the entire thread? Maybe you'll see through the eyes of the other people participating in this thread, because you look absolutely nuts here.
