A valid point indeed,
In retrospect i can see what you mean, most definitely .
We arent talking small numbers of people here either , where talking loads and loads. And where only talking about those that are blind !
How far do you think extremism and fanaticism reaches? How far do you think it reaches when its coupled with blindness?
On that note, i wonder how many are in a position of power or importance and hence are spreading this stuff throughout the masses .
Just remembering a couple of completely awesome threads but the actuall subject matter and true information in them made me sit back and shake my head. Some of the stupidity and ignorant people out there in the world is astounding. It angers me that some of these people are responsible for educating our children and our children's children .
I understand that you have to have pride about things and i agree but when you have things going on like what follows , If you cant understand that your going too far in doing this stuff then your truly too far gone already and shouldn't be in any authoritative or powerful position regardless of what it is.
One that springs to mind is where this stupid teacher wanted to remove a child in his class from school because he accused the child of black majic and dark witchcraft for something completely simple . Honestly the downright disturbed mentality that some people have out there is just pitiful . Fanatic extremists should not be in a position like that and ill tell you im damn sure that if these halfwits are running around when i put my child or children into school, ill be transferring them so fast, the systems head will spin and then ill go to work on alerting other parents and removing the offender from their position, permanently. I dont think anyone should have to deal with that crap let alone children who should be shown the correct and right way of things at all times .
Extreme fanaticism needs to be burnt and trashed , I don't care what "Faith" anyone is, the point is this BS has no place in society these days .
Fair enough if your a little blind, thats why its faith but to be stupidly and ignorantly blind? that is something completely different .
**Breathes** Ok im good
On another note i think that it is quite nice that Dawkins said that he is open the possibility of a higher power while not banging on about garbage.
I know just what im reading now on Mr Dawkins but i think the way he chose to word his statement was honorable and he seems to have his head somewhat screwed on the right way . i would love to see what yours and others take on this is .
