    Sorry to be nasty. That post was really amusing.

    >A scientist will give up his life for the betterment of humanity. A religious fanatic will sacrifice humanity for his ideals.

    Do the ones who developed and continue to refine the atom bomb, anthrax, chemical killing agents qualify for this statement? Hmm, how about the real Christian who fights for the cause of freedom?

    >A scientist will or can never impose his ideas on others unless he can prove himself . A religious priest forces his thoughts on others and threatens punishment if others don't follow.

    LOL, evolution...accept the teaching or we will discredit you and your career. A priest only tells you what he believes God may do to your soul.

    >A scientist cannot issue a fatwa or commandment to prove a point. A religious priest can issue a fatwa or commandment over a point he himself might not like to follow.

    Gobbledygook, is this an Islamic nuance? LOL

    >Science does not force children who cannot speak into communities or cults. Religion forces children who cannot speak into believing ideas the child might disagree when he really can speak!

    The atheistic scientist forces his beliefs on everyone, under threat of numerous punishments. Learning about God rewards and enriches a child's life (not a cult religion of course) and provides him a solid foundation to adjust to the cruel, real world.

    >Science encourages freedom.

    Science has nothing to do with freedom. Christian thought and efforts have brought about the greatest freedoms man has ever known! Western Civilization is the prime example.

    >Scientist dress the way they want to. The work is not related to the dress a scientist wears. Religion forces a dress code. People are made to look alike. Freedom of dress is banned.

    LOL, what JW cave are you still hiding in?

    >Science does not discriminate against females. A scientist can be of either sex and be respected for his or her work. Religion mostly discriminates against females. They are not allowed to express themselves and even entrance inside a religious institution is often not allowed. Head priests of almost all religions of the world are MALES.

    More gobbledygook that is so generalized as to be ridiculous. Christian religions give more freedom to women than any other!

    >More people have been killed in the name of religion than for or against any scientific discipline. In fact science has in the last two hundred years saved millions of lives.

    Tell that to the Soviet and Chinese people of atheistic communism, science was a tenet of their religion. How many more have died due to the advances of scientific weaponry that threatens to extinct man?

    >Science evolves and learns from it's mistakes. Religion does not evolve and NEVER learns from it's mistakes.

    LOL...More ridiculous assertions and generalities. Science has proven itself to be just as fallible as any other human endeavor. It promotes theories as facts all the time. Religion is too general a subject to make any determination valid

    >Scientists are required for the day to day running of the world.

    Crapola, sweat off the human brow is required to keep society moving. A few well placed work stoppages can and have proven that!

    >Religious priests are not required for the day to day running of the world.

    Christianity teaches that each Christian is a 'priest' able to access God at any time through Jesus Christ. Prayer moves world events from the smallest to the largest.

    >A scientist might invent weapons of mass destruction but he is responsible and knows the consequences of his actions.

    Yet he still does it!!!!

    >A religious fanatic cannot make weapons of mass destruction but STEALS form scientists these weapons and kills thousands not knowing the consequences of his actions.

    And a criminal is a criminal is a criminal, no matter what cultic religious nonsense he ascribes to.

    >Science does not reject GOD and is in fact trying to find the ultimate meaning of life. This is done through hard work which might take maybe thousands of years. But scientists have tremendous patience and are mostly fascinated by the journey rather than the goal.
    >Religious priests KNOW GOD exists! They have not offered any proof nor are interested in doing so. They get extremely irritated if asked for proof. They are very impatient and want to go to heaven without doing any real hard work in this world.

    Did you make this up yourself or did a junior high student help you?

    >Scientist admit the world exists and can be manipulated for our benefit. They also use the fruits of their discovery. Religion does not give importance to this world and almost always talks of heaven or hell. But deeply religious people USE the fruits of discovery of science.

    This isn't making any more sense, is it? Have you ever heard of the term, "generalization", or "straw man", or "red herring"?

    >MONEY which is the most important tool invented by man the scientist is the ONLY thing accepted by any RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!! BLESSINGS CANNOT BE EXCHANGED FOR BLESSINGS.

    ROFL, I luv it! Don't forget your Mastercard, the great scientific discovery!

    >Science discovers truths which are applicable all over the universe. A hydrogen atom is the same everywhere. So is a oxygen atom. Similarly gravity works in the same way all over the universe. And light in it's current form travels at the same speed.

    Who established the laws of the universe in such wonderful and intricate DESIGN?

    >Common sense tells us that a GOD should be same all over OUR universe.(IT might be different in another universe) But religion on earth does not agree. Already we have GODS of all colours and shapes found all over the world. And no GOD is compatible with another. GODS as we know them on this planet are non-fungible! They also follow political boundaries created in the last three hundred years! For example a GOD in INDIA is not a GOD when you cross a political boundary and go to PAKISTAN!!

    You must be a complete.....oops, better be nice. The world is nothing BUT overlapping religions that respect no political boundaries!
    Ohhhhh whooopeeee, you have figured out that idolatry is a bad thing, which is what God told the hebrews about 4000 years ago!
    The next time you post something, try solid facts instead of generalizations, that I just fired right back at you. LOL

    Aww Rex...too bad your posting is buried several pages back, so that more people can't see your precise and documented responses. It certainly was fun to read it. By the way, do you know how to spell L-u-d-d-i-t-e? LOL!
