How many people have died in the "name of science"?




Name just one, if you can. You can't do it. Only a fool would attempt to
do so.



Paging Dr. Mengele....




Wasn't it the Vatican that helped Mengele escape to South America?

Wasn't Mengele a Christian, in good standing? Just like Hitler. And,
isn't it true that they were never excomunicated for their religious
crimes against humanity?

What Mengele did to the innocent Jewish prisoners wasn't done in the
'name of science'. He did it because he was a crazed religious fanatic
persecuting innocent Jewish folks, like the Christians have been doing
for thousands of years.

Down with crazy religious loonacy! Long live the Sciences!


Using your same logic, Mengele was a human and as such, the crimes
were committed in the name of humanity! In fact, every religious atrocity
was also committed by humans.


My point, exactly... Religious atrocities perpetrated by a humanity
hideously distorted by religious dogma.

That's why I always say, "Down with distorted religious dogma. Long live
the Sciences!"

Naw, it should be "Down with humanity, the source of all evil in the world".
These arguments have only proven that any tool in the hands of humans is
capable of being destructive. Distorted religious dogma is merely the means
used to facilitate evil actions in the name of religion (salve for the
conscience of the evil-doer).

Religions don't do evil, people do evil. Religions are merely mental
constructions like society, clubs, teams, fraternities, etc. Some people
are religious, some are scientific and some are clueless, all are capable of
evil. The constraints of the structure they subscribe to either facilitates
that evil or inhibits it. Science is far less constrictive than a moral
code, so I think you may be throwing out the baby with the bath water here.

Perhaps you can advocate genocide of all mankind in the name of science to
rid the planet of potential evil doers. The Rudolph_X cleansing program.
One size fits all! If you think then you are subject to purge. Resistance
is futile.... Long live 'pure scientific values'. yada-yada-yada.
