Well being ignorant on purpose is not the trait of a good scientist or engineer.
I am not asking why this person doesn't believe in God, but rather why they believe what they believe (that we're supposed to 'perfect'.) This has little or nothing to do with religion. It is an inquiry into human behavior.
Also, do you know what the bible says about the Greeks and their knowledge? Because if you don't then you're just wasting our time. ;-)
You are making a very uneducated presumption by clumping these gods together. How very unscientific.
How am i expecting people to listen to me? WTF? Because I posted one post on this thread? I'm not the person writing a blog and claiming that I know there is no God.
I know first hand just how useless college education is, along with those books. Which to be honest, I've only skimmed through a few.
I honestly can't get past the self-righteous bullshit that those people assume. I just can't stand when they make simple mistakes regarding the texts they're arguing against.
I hate it how they assume their conclusions are better than the conclusions of thousands of years of accumulated texts.
I hate it how it's being taught to even dumber people who can't get past the bullshit. And I hate it because I'm forced to read them to find out the dumb shit people believe in.
If I learned anything in school is this: humans are stupid.
There has been few if any scientific truths achieved by a man that have stood the test of time. I would never rely on their conclusions for anything. (Much less any conclusions from a silly philosopher.)
(Sorry for the rant, I've just recently been forced to read stuff from Joseph Campbell and I'm still annoyed by it. Even though he makes an occasional good point or gives me an idea, he's still an idiot.)
