Comments

[saku]

science deals with natural law. it has no place whatsoever in supernatural theory. its absence in it doesn't mean it should be given additional consideration.

but looking at other comments i think maybe i misunderstood the intent of your rant, even if i think you made it rather easy to misinterpret.

DA

[(Anonymous)]

you made it rather easy to misinterpret

I'm responding to this from flat comments so I have no idea the context of this, which might make it funnier, but goddamn. LOL

[(Anonymous)]

What? Just... what?

[(Anonymous)]

NA

even if i think you made it rather easy to misinterpret.

OP really didn't. OP explicitly stated that they were talking about "beliefs that contradict education and science. To me, that says young-earth creationism, the anti-vax stance, "gay is a choice" homophobia, moon-landing hoax beliefs, and the like. You're the one who decided it meant "anyone who believes in religion or anything supernatural is DUMB." That came from you, not anything OP said or implied.

[saku]

that depends entirely on what people think contradicts science. a lot of people think any religious or theistic thought is inherently against some sort of establish scientific rule, though it's really not. that op didn't correct me led me to believe i had been right.

nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

o.o

[(Anonymous)]

What part of the OP talking about people insisting on beliefs that defy basic reasoning skills = time to discuss the delicate relationship between science and religion?

[saku]

the second she brought up science, which was in her first post.

[(Anonymous)]

She? brought up scientific data. And education. And basic reasoning skills. And never explicitly mentioned religion. I think you either got really excited to post something smart or just really wanted some wank.

[saku]

and where exactly is the bringing up of science being lost to you? how is "scientific data" not referencing science? i only said that people who believe in supernatural things don't do so in spite of science, or against it. science has nothing to do with their beliefs at all, even in contrast. so i was unhappy to see what looked like the op claiming that beliefs in supernatural things are uneducated. they're not connected.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly curious. If OP had used the word "facts" or "cold hard numbers" or something instead to make it clear they were dealing in absolutes would this have caught your attention or would you be arguing that people don't agree on what facts are or something?

[saku]

if we're still talking about religion, it would still be implying that theistic thoughts or concepts can be disproven with data and methods that are inherently inaccurate when they are used in this manner. absolutes are not absolute when you are talking about concepts that transcend natural law, which describes absolutes to begin with.

[(Anonymous)]

Ok. I give up. How could OP have made it clear to you they were speaking only about the application of religious ideas to non-supernatural, scientifically verified concepts?

[saku]

by saying at the very start that they were talking about people using their religion to control her life, which i said in like, my second comment.

[(Anonymous)]

1. Why would you assume OP thinks science=/=religion? At the very least you could have asked the OP to clarify what they meant by beliefs that conflict with data.
2. OP's first response to you cleared up what they were talking about.
3. This comment is not an invitation for you to find another way to blame OP for your tl;dr ot.

[saku]

1. because it was implied in her first comment.
2. yes, i know. my other comments have been in response to other people continuing the chain of derailment.
3. if less than 6 lines of text is too long for you then f!s is not a good community for you to be in

[(Anonymous)]

No it wasn't.

[saku]

i meant that it was to me, hence why i replied in the first place. how is this not obvious to you

[(Anonymous)]

Wait. You just got pissy at me for misinterpreting you and blaming it on you when that is what you've been doing to OP all night. Even though "it was implied" sounds a hell of a lot more like you were placing blame on OP again and not "I misunderstood OP's intent".

[saku]

i'm not pissy, i only asked you a question. i already conceded upthread that i misinterpreted the op. you're arguing over nothing

[(Anonymous)]

Where? All I saw was you implying and outright stating the OP misled you.

[saku]

here. i still think she should have been more clear - she was being intentionally vague - but i still admitted i was wrong.
