Subject: RE: BS: Beyond logic
I suppose you could say that science does abuse people who tenaciously hold onto previously held beliefs when the ideas are shown to be abject nonsense.

I suppose I could say that the decades of abuse and ostracism I have received from the proudly religious does not enamor me to their dictates and false claims of being victimized.

I was punished and expelled from public school in 7th grade for writing an essay on evolution. We should not treat our children this way. We should not treat our teachers with threats encountered in the Scopes Monkey trial.

It was pointed out to me that my most offending sentence was "Man and other animals all undergo a process of evolution."

If you support anti evolution you support the punishment of children, teachers, anthropology and paleontology experts.


We are past that mindless retribution, unless you are pathologically anti social.
