I used to be a militant atheist. I'm still non-denominational.

2018-12-18 08:43:43 UTC  

Then I learned what metaphor is.

2018-12-18 08:43:44 UTC  

Perhaps I should rephrase

2018-12-18 08:43:47 UTC  

Organised religion teached from birth

2018-12-18 08:43:56 UTC  

Yeah, I agree with that.

2018-12-18 08:44:08 UTC  

Organized/mainstream religion is insanely gay.

2018-12-18 08:44:33 UTC  

But mah doctrine

2018-12-18 08:44:40 UTC  

And dogma

2018-12-18 08:44:57 UTC  

Blasphemy !!!

2018-12-18 08:44:59 UTC  

Lol

2018-12-18 08:45:16 UTC  

Religion is supposed to be a generational pursuit of truth and it tends to be written in a way that's difficult to decipher due to sheer age and how people conceptualized.

2018-12-18 08:45:43 UTC  

All the holy books are man made

2018-12-18 08:45:46 UTC  

Change my mind

2018-12-18 08:45:59 UTC  

So is science.

2018-12-18 08:46:25 UTC  

Yea but science doesn’t claim to be the word of god

2018-12-18 08:46:57 UTC  

Science is highly fallible, yet people claim it _is_ the word of God. Here, we'll change a few things so you understand my perspective.

2018-12-18 08:47:16 UTC  

Science knows it’s fallable

2018-12-18 08:47:17 UTC  

God is the unalterable forces operating in the universe, the 'truth' of the universe.

2018-12-18 08:47:23 UTC  

That why the test theories

2018-12-18 08:47:28 UTC  

Religion also knows its fallibe.

2018-12-18 08:47:29 UTC  

le

2018-12-18 08:47:36 UTC  

Nope

2018-12-18 08:47:41 UTC  

Many religious people say, 'the bible was written by man'

2018-12-18 08:47:48 UTC  

Hold on. Full stop for a second.

2018-12-18 08:47:56 UTC  

Not acccording to fundamentalists

2018-12-18 08:48:40 UTC  

People will throw scientific studies around like they are the word of 'God'. As defined above. I _know_ you've seen this. The scientific _philosophy_ knows its fallible.

2018-12-18 08:48:55 UTC  

People that reference science do so with little imagination for any other possibility.

2018-12-18 08:49:02 UTC  

This is something religious people will do too.

2018-12-18 08:49:08 UTC  

I think you miss understand science

2018-12-18 08:49:13 UTC  

I don't.

2018-12-18 08:49:19 UTC  

It’s all theories and tests

2018-12-18 08:49:25 UTC  

Yes, it is.

2018-12-18 08:49:29 UTC  

Nobody says science can’t change

2018-12-18 08:49:35 UTC  

But the word of god doesn’t change

2018-12-18 08:49:38 UTC  

But this is not how it is _used_ or thought of by society.

2018-12-18 08:50:02 UTC  

People _do_ rely on science as a 'truthful' guide. Even when science does change.

2018-12-18 08:50:08 UTC  

I don’t see people going to worship science on a weekend

2018-12-18 08:50:10 UTC  

Lol

2018-12-18 08:50:17 UTC  

You do, actually.

2018-12-18 08:50:22 UTC  

How so?

2018-12-18 08:50:49 UTC  

Not in the same way
