World 14-year-old dies after exorcism

I think it's going to be hilarious when the people in the future laugh at us for using chemotherapy.

Just like we laugh at the one's who used leeches to remove blood diseases.

Sure they're be doing that. lol

 

[Ninva]

Lol, sure they are. That's the premise of their religion...

If you're make a jab, do it well.

Education. College (and proper highschools, but those are nearly non-existent in the US, at least in NYC) makes such a huge difference on your outlook on both the world and life in general.

You do realize that most pastors go to college for eight years. Now, I'm not sure how these individuals spend those eight years in college, but I believe most would study diligently.

They study and practice how to exercise.

You wouldn't know it, but this guy is a pastor:

Don't pull a Jimpy. You're not witty.

Pastors spend four years in regular college (more education than some of you have), and then they get their doctorate in theology. Once you got your Ph.D, you can complain about our modern pastor's education. Frankly, it's better than yours. You can call the pastor a crook, but you can't call him stupid unless you have the proof. Right now, you have no proof, just a picture of a shirtless man.

I'm not exactly calling them stupid, I'm calling them bigots. Sure they may ace all the biology, astronomy and psychology courses, but how can you really call it an education when they don't believe a word of what they're being taught?

If they don't believe anything of it, don't they also deny it? And if one denies all he is taught - has he learned anything at all? Sounds like a waste of years.

That's what I'm saying. Though I'm sure they do learn things from philosophy and as Ninva said, Theology classes.

btw Ninva, do you have any source about the average pastor going having 8 years of education?

Um... I never complained about our modern pastor's education. And I never said it was better or worse than what I have. Of course it would be. I'm only 15. I don't know where you got:

They be are stupid!

But I never did say anything like that. The picture of a shirtless man is merely something to brighten the mood. You seem to want to hurt me

Religion versus Science is a pointless war.

The religious will believe their side and hope for a better world, while the scientific will try to understand the world in their own way.

 

[Sevion]

IMHO, the religious believe in waiting for the next world and never really live in this world.

And obviously the strictly religious views favor superstitions and end up with young children dying because they chose a symbolic cure instead of a real one. I think the parents diserved it though, if they made a decision like this Im sure the kid had much worse coming later in his life.

Well..
We can always get each others' theories
Mock them
And embrace our own

The best medicine is the one that doesn't exist.

In many cases, people overdo it though.

Cry me a river. I've been threatened directly because of my Christian values. I'm not going to hurt you, kid.

Religion versus Science is a pointless war.

That's it. The two have nothing in common. Religion is a belief system. Science is human interpretation of the world. If an ape could think like we do, his science would be much more different than ours. If someone stood up and said he believed in science, I'll call him a fool. Why don't you believe in something like a philosophy or a religion? Atheism is what you believe in. Sciencism isn't an ism.

One does not need to be an atheist to say, "Hm, evolution is a plausible theory. I'll take all the evidence I can find and publish my findings. If there's a significant flaw in the logic, I'll point it out in the name of human progress!"

I just hate this whole bigotry. I hate how narrow-minded both the right and the left can be. Those arrogant and selfish thoughts can rot and burn in hell. I hate them all!

 

[SineCosine]

Chill, Ninva, chill.

We all get days where we just wonder why all of humanity is ridiculous.
Chill..

When I get mad at the human race, I just eat ice-cream.
Or drink 2litres of fruit juice..
Mm..
