If I were an Atheist

[robvalue]

Political correctness in science? Is this a joke, I don't get it I really don't.

As for my earlier point, I've encountered a lot more theists than atheists who will hold fast that they cannot be wrong. They say they cannot be mistaken about the religion, they cannot be deceived, all the stuff is real full stop and it's not a matter of belief. This applies to several of the theists we have here. Whereas most atheists in my experience will admit, when pressed, that they could be wrong about things.

This is just my experience. I would hope that if you bring up the subject of uncertainty people would have the intellectual honesty to admit that it's a problem we can't ignore, but sadly religious dogma often treats this "doubt" as a sin, and so they hold steadfast. It is kind of a killer for sensible conversation, I reached that point recently in a discussion here with someone and it's kind of pointless to continue.

Another dangerous aspect of religion, clinging to absolute certainty in the absence of evidence or a rational argument. Anyone who thinks they cannot possibly be wrong has the potential to cause themselves and others serious trouble; as well as being unable to properly learn or accept new evidence.
