"wont belive anything unless they are told by the scientific community and/or the media."
Spelling mistakes aside, you've got to ask yourself - who's more worthy of our trust - a bunch of power-mad ex-hippies who have a history of using torture and oppression to get their way, or the scientific community?

Or you can make up your own beliefs, which is what you seem to be saying. Guess what got us started on the whole slippery slope in the first place?

Thing thing with the god of your choice is, it requires your belief to exist. No believers = no god. Subatomic particles don't give a shit whether you believe in them or not.

you seem to have a problem with individualism
I would prefer "search for my own beliefs". rather than "make up".

a careful study of both religion and science reveals that they are both in essence, the same thing. attempts to find knowledge. but the problem is that the institutionalised versions attempt to take discovery of knowledge out of the hands of the "lay person" and into the realm of experts.


all in all. fuck St Paul.
