It was nothing to do with grammar, it was to do with your poorly thought out points.

[hooligan]

so you agree that it it pointless and ignorant to go up to a Muslim and tell him/her they are wrong?

why does that not apply to every religion?

i would never ever ever go up to some one and argue about religion if they were in anyway religious. its a free fucking world.

actually thats a lie, when the mormans come to the door i give them a mouth full, but thats fine in my book

Nobody is going up to religious people and ramming their views down their throats for LULZ.
The creationists (I'm generalising for simplicity here) have just made a big fuck off documentary, which will achieve Michael Moore-esque exposure, aimed at getting creationism taught in science classrooms.
I think we have every right to respond. It's a response, not an unprovoked attack.

[hooligan]

heh, i guess that is pretty stupid to have in a science classroom. im gonna stop because i am really really shit at arguing in text format.

I worked in a business where 70% of the staff were Muslim and whenever religion came up in conversation, and that conversation turned to creation, I never flinched from explaining the scientific view of it. Why would it matter whether someone was Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Mormon, Hindu....whatever? Some things ARE black and white, some ARE clearly wrong, and the religious view of how we came about is ENTIRELY wrong. It absolutely applies to every single religion.

I love your double standard though, you have a go at me for (an imagined) attack on 'a muslim', yet freely admit to giving other religious believers a mouthful!

Believing something that is provably wrong is dangerous, because the intolerance and bigotry that follows on from those beliefs (not to mention the increasing global violence) poisons the world we live in.

first paragraph - it doesn't matter if its right or wrong its a religion. belief goes further that scientific fact.

second paragraph - the whole mouthful part was about religious followers coming to my door every second Sunday at exactly 1:30pm to try convince me to join the morman church or whatever. was not meant to be taken seriously, i basically tell them to fuck off in ammusing ways.

third paragraph - all the scientific facts in the world aint gonna change that sad fact.

Why?

[hooligan]

because if someone is religious it is going to take more than scientific fact to change their mind. is that not the whole point of this thread?

[Thee Alex]

No, you said 'belief goes beyond scientific fact', I want to know why it does.

[hooligan]

alex, im not saying you are wrong, infact im saying you are right.

i am saying it is wrong to argue over it tho. if both parties were to stop bickering then there wouldn't be a problem

[hooligan]

no i said belief goes further than scientific fact, as in if someone has a belief it will take more than scientific fact to change their views.

If only it were that simple!! Most religions pretty much COMMAND their followers to ram their beliefs down everyone's throats....in fact, a lot of them say you'll go to hell if you DON'T preach the word!

So you see, the people who are standing up to the religious are actually holding back their avalanche of bullshit from overwhelming the rest of society.

It's funny how many people don't seem to get the fact that scientists really, really want creationists to prove their point, but they simply can't.
