WELCOME TO CRITICAL THINKING
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.

Re: Evolution

Are you denying these are his quotes?

"Philosophy and reason will remain the most beautiful sanctuary they have always been for the select few." Albert Einstein

"Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind." Albert Einstein

"We owe a lot to Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made." Albert Einstein

Re: Evolution

No, I'm saying those quotes don't say the things you are attributing to them.

Yes, he said the part about science and religion, but not the things you are trying to attach to his meaning.

Re: Evolution

How would you know that it doesn’t if you don’t know the origin of science or even philosophy for that matter?

There are many religions and he is saying there is one that is harmony with science and this is what I’m trying to explain.

“Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.” Albert Einstein

Re: Evolution

Because you pulled it out of your ass to pretend Einstein agrees with your bs conjecture. That's how.

But to return the favor, how can you know what anyone is saying if you don't know the origin of human vocalization?

See? That's how stupid your last comment was.

Besides, why would you assume I don't? You're just making wild guesses about what I do or don't know. And embarrassing yourself in the process.

Re: Evolution

Now you’re going to wish you had an ass like mine - The one true religion

Glad you brought it up - now you’re saying you know who taught humans to speak, read, write and count?

Are these wild guesses? - Evolution Debunked

Re: Evolution

No, I'm not going to wish I had an ass like yours, nor am I claiming that I know the origin of hominid vocalization, other than our ancestor species. I'm saying it isn't necessary to understand the origins of something to grasp its contextual use or applications. In other words, i don't need to know that Isaac Newton formulated the first equations of gravitational attraction to be able to send a ship to Mars with them. Nor do I need to know the things you listed to understand that you are attributing far more to that Einstein quote than it actually addresses. Though, I'll be polite and work from the presumption that it is you misunderstanding the quote, as opposed to intentionally misrepresenting it.

I'll look at your links, but not until I get home and can use my computer. The firewall on my phone is not as secure as that one.

Edit:

Ok, I chanced it after pulling up a whois report on your site, and seeing it's likely safe enough.

Brother, that thing is straight out of the 1990's website design handbook, aesthetically. I know, I know. It's the content that counts, sure. As soon as I can get through your dense, florid landing page, provided I have enough word salad dressing, I'll be back to respond at length.

Re: Evolution

“I'm saying it isn't necessary to understand the origins of something to grasp its contextual use or applications.”

I also thought so at one time my friend but I was wrong, perhaps you too at sometime may see my way.

“Brother, that thing is straight out of the 1990's website design handbook, aesthetically.”

It is, this site was up since 1997 but as you said, the contents is what matters
