Fuck theology.
Quote:“What has theology ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody? When has theology ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? I have listened to theologians, read them, debated against them. I have never heard any of them ever say anything of the smallest use, anything that was not either platitudinously obvious or downright false. If all the achievements of scientists were wiped out tomorrow, there would be no doctors but witch doctors, no transport faster than horses, no computers, no printed books, no agriculture beyond subsistence peasant farming. If all the achievements of theologians were wiped out tomorrow, would anyone notice the smallest difference? Even the bad achievements of scientists, the bombs, and sonar-guided whaling vessels work! The achievements of theologians don’t do anything, don’t affect anything, don’t mean anything. What makes anyone think that ‘theology’ is a subject at all?

Are you serious? Think a bit about my posts generally, and if you need to, take a look at the bits of info by my name. If that is not enough, take some time reading my old posts.
Maybe this will help. Religion is nothing but primitive superstitious nonsense that is holding back civilization. You may quote me on that if you like.
"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
