Hello, Anyone interested in a debate?

Okay, I don't have time for long silly discussions with religious nut jobs (I have limited patience for retarded) .... so here's my short reply. 

What is it with religious wack jobs ... always like to play philosopher and talk about logical fallacies (don't quit your day job, janitor, waitress, whatever it may be). 

History doesn't support the education/religion thing. Hmmm, duh (try actually reading history instead of your buy-bull or the stupid crap that perverted freak you call a priest tells you). 

I think I know the problem, catholicism is full of fucktards like Aquinas (who could write about absurd shit like the magic wafer for hundreds of pages). 

Anyway, enjoy your wafers (and explain to me again how it turns to jesus on the way down your esophagus)

Ha ha.  As it is biology is also filled with those same religionous fucktards.  Feel free to read up on the history of medicine and biology.  You are going to find more priests in that field than just about any other (which is saying something as priest are prevalent in every field of science).

Thankfully my day job pays 20 times what a janitor or waitress make.  Playing philosopher pays well especially if you can play with numbers and money

Don't be ridiculous.  They are turned into Jesus before they head down our esophagus

Try reading history hmm...  Well here is a list of books I read on the subject I hope 30 is enough:

I know it is not anecdotal evidence or my honest opinion, but I hope it is sufficient to give some justification to statements that history does not support your religion is anti-education claim.

Biology goes back to ancient Egypt, the ancient Greeks and Romans, early forms of medicine in the Muslim world, etc., and really begins to take off during the Renaissance (with rekindled interest in empiricism). 

Yes, many catholics were involved early on in western science (Roger Bacon, Nicole Oresme, etc.), but again ... so what? 

It doesn't change the fact that it's all based on bullshit. Moreover, I'm not saying the catholic church is particularly problematic at this point (in terms of education). The hard liners in the US tend to be evangelicals. Nonetheless, religion as a whole is hostile towards education. Yes, it's largely confined to religious conservatives, yet they only have cover and they can only get away with the shit they get away with, because you guys exist. 

Look, I have nothing against people believing ridiculous shit, and people should have every right to their silly superstitions, what I stand against is the "deference" we grant this stupid shit in our modern world.
