I am not. How is repeatedly saying they have nothing to with each other treating them like they are in a neck-and-neck race? One is running down a track and the other is painting a picture. They have nothing to do with one another
Again, if they have nothing to do with one another, why would I think "people make some choice like 'will I use science or religion to figure this out'" ? That makes as much a thinking people use some choice like "I will use math or art to figure this out." I have said repeatedly they are not the same and you keep arguing as if I have been claiming otherwise.
No more than the meme is, and I am pointing out the pointlessness of doing so.
Never claimed you did.
I think people on the Internet who don't properly understand Science or Religion try to use one to argue against the other without realizing it makes no sense and is useless.
That is exactly what I said, yes. I'm glad we agree.
If you think the majority of Christians and Theists are trying to burn books and force creationism is schools then you will be shocked when you find out how many Christians and Theists actually exist in the world. The majority of Americans are Theists. The fact that some sect is trying to force creationism in schools, and it's not there by default, would be evidence that that is not a broadly held opinion by thesists. Afterall, if the majority of people wanted it it wouldn't be that hard to implement.
Where specifically did I do it?
I agree, the Christian Right is fucking insane. So it's the Taliban. Note how we are now talking about specific groups instead of Religion as some monolithic entity (Something you were opposed to people doing to Science.) Also note that trying to use Science has never successfully convinced these groups to behave differently.
You are inferring a lot here. I'm not scared of pushing anyone away. I'm also not trying to get everyone to get along. I'm saying it's a waste of fucking time and makes no sense for either one.
Do you see what happened there? You were talking about the Christian Right and the problems they cause, and then suddenly changed to the monolithic group of "Religion" as a whole again, as if the Christian Right was every religion and religious person in the world.
