Subject: RE: BS: Zika vs anti-abortion cults
Well pete, we pagans/heathens/atheists/humanists/absolutists/bastards, believe it or not, and only if we can be arsed, actually encourage people to think more. We would politely suggest that the thought process would include the consideration that evidence is the only way to discover what is really true, and that defining "evidence" is the sine qua non of the whole enquiry. Contrary to what you vacuously contend, we want people to think like mad before they believe anything, but, at the end of the day, we believe that what they believe in private is their business.
