Re: How many of you are religious!
A true scoundrel is one who makes blanket hypocritical statements with no support. It's a cute quote, but why don't you back it up?hugh jass said:religion. the last refuge of a scoundrel(s).
But that system is only applicable if you believe there are people around you, believe you can trust your perceptions, believe you can trust their opinions and their perceptions, as well as trust that what you both perceive is, in fact, the same. That's an awful lot of belief, wouldn't you say?fonis said:Evidence and proof, as far as science is concerned, is required to be impersonal. If you state something scientifically, you allow it to be vulnerable to repeated testing by anyone wishing to determine its viability. If it was simply a belief, it would be personal. Since you are making your beliefs to be judged by anyone around you, the evidence and proof, by definition, are impersonal, otherwise they are not evidence or proofs.
