Science is God until it conflicts with your personal prejudices, preconceived notions and financial incentives.
I try not to be that way personally. I only want hard logical experiments that can be independently replicated.
Else, its just theory.

Thu Oct 19 2023 12:16:23 EDT from nonservatorObviously you're one of those Nazis who doesn't heckin' love science.
I generally don't trust atheist scientists.
Regardless of that, can we just all agree that Neil d. Tyson is a monumental asshole?
Yes.
I think you would like most scientists, the one that just go in every day and do their job, and dont go all political on things.

There sure is a lot of antisemitism being blasted all over the place right now. Some of it even comes from people who ought to know better. It's getting intolerable.
I love my Jewish brothers and sisters, even if their theology is incomplete.
What has always bugged me most, however, is that some people refer to the Jews as "Christ Killers" (or as my grandfather would call them in Italian, "Morta Christa")
I've triple checked my Bible , and in all four gospels it is clear: Christ was crucified by the Roman Empire. You know the Roman Empire, the group that still exists today, but now it calls itself the Roman Catholic Church and is masquerading as Christianity.
I hope Grandpa made it to heaven, I'd like to have that conversation with him again someday.
Thankfully not in my 'circle'. ( or they would most likely be kicked out of it.. ). We all know my feelings about the subject, but i still support their right to believe that way, since its not 'against' people who dont. ( unlike some religions )
However, i had one of my favorite cousins ( who is liberal, that side of the family tended to be ) question some of the reports about the abuse of women by Hamas. "if it was real, why didnt didnt the guy step in and stop it"... Not that she is supporting Hamas, but seems to be falling for the anti Israel propaganda..

I don't really have a dog in this race, but as I understood it, Pilate was just trying to placate a mob. He offered them Jesus or Barabus, a murderer, and the mob chose to let Barabus go free and crucify Jesus.
That's where the "Christ Killers" stuff comes from.
"the eclipse is a sign from god"
Um, wouldn't a 'sign from god' be a bit less scientifically predicable?
... what does God need with a starship?
God and his buddy Xenu are going to use the starship to scuttle all of the troublemakers.
Well, i guess Noah sort of had one... ( according to the story )

Sort of like the people that think 'satan' is the real god.. As hes lax "have a great time, see you in the after life", while 'god' is more like an abusive boyfriend. "do as i say, when i say, how i say, or i punish you, forever". And its all marketing from that point.
Wed Apr 24 2024 22:26:46 EDT from IGnatius T FoobarIt would be kind of funny to imagine that Xenu is actually the real God (for whatever value of "real God" you care to use) and that the whole Scientology thing is just a script-flipped disinformation campaign from the evil side.
More like "See you in Hell"

Or Xenu is your God and Scientology was just another method for him to reach a different demographic.
