The Hitchens "Poison" thread.

[robvalue]

That teacher sounds quite cool, Nope I think he was about as close to as you can get to admitting it's all bullshit without actually having to say it, haha! But in his mind, he was able to keep the two separate so that science didn't come over and beat the living piss out of the religion.

"God doesn't like being tested by science!" = "I know I'm not going to find anything with science so I'll just put him in a special science-proof box in my mind"

A very good point about the creation thing... and possibly a useful excuse to other theists He's either very open minded or very pragmatic, either way, if he's doing his job entirely properly then all is well I think. I agree this must be a rare case. He sounds better than my biology teacher actually. I had to go complain to the school because all he did was have us copy stuff word for word from a book. That's not teaching.

As for religion = poisin

A tiny bit won't hurt you too much. In some forms it may even cause mild merriment. But consume too much and it will cause serious brain damage, and eventually total loss of all senses.
