Author Topic: Petiton for religious threads to be bannable.  (Read 5933 times)

OP's complete bastardization of the big bang theory combined with his poor reasoning made me vote 'No'.

Anyone want a petition to make scientifically illiterate users banned?

Yeah you can. My views in regards to religion have changed a few times based on other people's arguments. What you just said is grade A ignorance.
I mean that you can't prove whether either side is right or wrong. Your views changing based on others' arguments isn't proof of anything except that your beliefs are easily swayed.

he's not ignorant on the subject -- it just means that he's an immutable human rock that doesn't develop or learn.
No I'm not.

Also, one cannot be a rock and a human at the same time. And if I were a rock, then you would be right about not developing or learning.

how do i read science

It's actually not. In his experience he has never changed his opinion through an Internet discussion of any issue. So, what he said has held true, which means he's not ignorant on the subject -- it just means that he's an immutable human rock that doesn't develop or learn.
Actually it does mean he is ignorant. Ignorance is defined by merriam webster as being "destitute of knowledge or education." By basing statements on solely your observations, when there are obviously people who would prove you wrong, you are lacking knowledge or education on a subject by choice.

This is true.

No, it just means I'm open to listening to other ideas, lol. If my religious stance was easily swayed I'd be switching religions left and right.

I didn't say your 'religious stance'. I said your views of something are easily changed. You said that they have changed a few times just from others' arguments.

So you're saying that you can prove to me that your religion, or any religion for that matter, is right?

I see nothing that could be thought of as ignorant in any of my previous posts.

Yeah, my views, which I am using synonymously with religious stance, have changed. My beliefs haven't for two years. But even then, beliefs can change from sound, logical arguments. Pretty much anybody's opinion on anything can be changed from arguments.

You said:
You can't prove anything through arguing about religion. It's like arguing with someone about what the coolest hat in the world is. It's all based on a belief, which is far from a fact.

A belief is way easier changed than a fact, lol. Saying that someone's belief can't be changed is ignorant.

let's ban all arguments so the forums will be a nice place

To me, the meaning of 'religious stance' is your religion, such as Christianity, or Islam. Your religious stance can be a Catholic stance, a Jewish stance, even an atheist stance. It's your view of religion as a whole, to me.

Religious views are the specific things you believe. One religious view I have is that God doesn't exist until someone proves that he does. An Islamic religious view is that Jerusalem belongs to Muslims, not Christians or Jews. A Muslim's view can be changed from believing Jerusalem belongs to Muslims to believing it belongs to Jews.
 
Saying that someone's belief can't be changed is ignorant.
You missed the part where I never said this.

Well then I misunderstood you, my apologies.

Okay great, we're all friends with different views on life again.
