I Am So Sick Of Religion Versus Science
Jun. 14th, 2008 09:33 pmSeriously, I am so done. What the hell is it about religion that it needs to make itself a martyr? Why is it always "science is against religion" when science clearly doesn't care about religion and has nothing to do with it?
It's like comparing bananas and screwdrivers.
Religious banana fanatic: "What the hell is wrong with you screwdriver people?? You can't eat screwdrivers! Screwdrivers don't actually nourish you at all! Can't you see that bananas are natural, and screwdrivers are not?"
Screwdriver scientist type: "Dude, you're not supposed to eat a screwdriver, you use it to build stuff."
RBF: "That's besides the point! You're saying that screwdrivers are right, and bananas are wrong!"
SST: "No, you just don't understand that they're two different things and you can't compare them. A screwdriver is a tool, it's not something you use to nourish yourself. What I said was that I don't like bananas. But that has nothing to do with screwdrivers."
RBF: "You use screwdrivers and you hate bananas. You obviously hate me and everything I stand for, and you are using screwdrivers to destroy my life and my beliefs!!"
SST: "Look, I don't care if you eat bananas as long as you don't throw them at me and force me to eat them and ask the government to buy them for you. You don't have a monopoly on what's right and what the truth is."
RBF: "But all people must eat bananas, they are so delicious. It is my duty to stuff bananas in everyone's face. Here, try a banana, maybe you'll like it now..."
SST: *sighs*
