Religion teaches that an illogical, invisible supernatural universe exists, full of creatures and other forces that whimsically (and often angrily) interfere with the operation of the natural universe. This claims to falsify the principle that underlies all of science:
The natural universe is a closed system whose behavior can be predicted by theories derived logically from empirical observation of its present and past behavior.
And it makes this claim with
absolutely no evidence! This is
antiscience.
Since this is a place of science, we have not only a right but an
obligation to expose religion for the fraudulent bullshit that it is. What we cannot do is single out one religion and claim that it alone is stupid and evil, or that it is substantially more stupid and evil than the others--at least not without solid evidence, which does not exist because they all are pretty much the same when it comes to their irrational faith in the supernatural. We also cannot insult
religious people, any more than we can insult people of a particular ethnic group, political party, gender or sexual orientation.You're free to say and do whatever you want in your private life, but on SciForums you are not free to hold up one religion as being qualitatively worse than others.Yes he would. If he had somehow overlooked it, I promise you that the first moderator who saw it would have banned you. Even me, and I'm your buddy.I don't know if you're referring to a specific ethnic group who lives on Borneo or the members of a specific religion that is found primarily on Borneo, but in either case you would have been just as guilty and just as banned. Depending on your language you might have gotten a warning. If the moderators simply didn't notice because none of us had read that particular post, one of the members would surely have notified us.
Please continue insulting religion. But don't try to tell us that any one is significantly worse than the others. They all suck! And do NOT insult religious people. Millions of them are perfectly nice and kind. The members of any religion you can name differ as much from one another as any people.
