Debunking false dogmas.

The terror of constant brainwashing indeed spells hopelessness for billions.
A static intellect is when predetermination takes the place of honest inquiry and truth is suppressed. The culprit is misguided religion which leads to fanaticism, barbarism and superstition. This form of credulity is the catalyst of existing adverse and prejudicial conditions that have plagued mankind for nearly 5,000 years.

"When the time of destruction is at hand the intellect becomes perverted." Vridha Chan. 16:17.

Can a fool, fool God? - Feb 08, 2002
What Baseball-club owner would pay his worst ball-player the same money as his best? Since he is the owner he can do anything and even through compassion make such a reward. But let's measure the disadvantages of such a measure, his club would go bankrupt because his worst players would never strive to be better while his best players would do less since it makes no sense to be the best. Baseball will become non-competitive and the millions who would be deprived of its entertainment will no longer support it, not to mention the thousands that will be affected by employment. If there were such an owner who lacks such business sense, he would be called a fool, won't he?

 A fool has no value for time or knowledge and so he remains a fool all his life. It certainly requires no effort to be a fool and in the end he/she repents for being a fool and gains salvation. On the other hand, a wise man values his time and works diligently and strenuously daily all his life, in his efforts through austerity and abstinence to attain higher wisdom also gains salvation.

Now I ask what would we call the 'All-powerful' God of the Torah, Bible, Qur'an, Puranas, Zend Avesta, Guru Grantha, and all that other false dogmas that can do anything, who gives the same reward of heaven to both a fool and a wise man? To an intelligent soul, he is not only mortal like the Ball-club owner but even more foolish. In reality, a fool who follows a false dogma is only fooling him/herself. 
                                                                 
                         Redemption can only be a fool's passport to a fool's paradise.

Just spent the most enjoyable 2 hours online with 120 bright young students from the Philippines, part of FROSH (@wefrosh) dedicated to improving scientific literacy there. It was my honor and pleasure to lecture to them. Fantastic questions! They are the hope of the future.

There is only hope if they are told the truth.

I don't know how many hundreds of time you will continue to send the same tired lines in response to every tweet of mine.. Surely this broken record can end.

Is that what the truth sounds like to you sir, "tired lines" & "broken record"?

All I want to know is why you don't want these young students to be as imaginative as Einstein or smarter than you.

Physics can't give you the origin of matter, the universe, language, and most important the understanding of natural laws.

You're indeed a broken record. [those who are not old enough to remember.... broken record means repeating himself]

Repetition is a necessary tool for the wise when disseminating the true knowledge. It makes no sense to move on when the present one is unanswered.

So tell me what he is saying here and we can move on.

I already answered this question. Don't read 'religion' as traditional religion but as philosophy of science.

No, you haven't and neither did Krauss! It's the reason he is ****** that it is being constantly brought up.

It is the philosophy of science! It is a philosophy that is in harmony with reasoning and science and in conformity with the laws of nature.
