They not only obscure fact, but try to control how their adherents analyze facts. It’s layer upon layer of wild and fantastical bullshit, almost unprecedented in scope. The more sincere the religionist, the more steeped they are in this bizarre form of thinking and fact analysis. I see little difference between religious indoctrination and cult indoctrination. So these type of threads almost invariably wind us down a slippery slope of imbecilic thinking that's stunning in its breadth.
That's really all I have to say in response to this crap
The most essential part of religion is the analysis of information. This is why they go on about "faith" and other such bullshit. People who analyze information properly could not be religious for long.
