dogma!

The difference is fundamental: Crucially, science
is a continuing debate BASED on the available facts.
The advocates of those scientific debates are forever
expected to be willing and able to defend all their
positions, as well as to constantly challenge all
other positions advocated using the available facts.

Religions, on the other hand, are blind advocacies
based solely on the feelings of absolutist and/or
supercilious philosophers whose directives then
are made impervious to further analysis and/or
critique. As such, both Nazism and Communism
were religions (Hitler, or "the power of the Will,"
being the Nazi GOD... while the communist God
is that "lesser evils are always justified for the
sake of the greater good"). Facts are irrelevant to
all religions. And, unfortunately, as we have seen
in the case of Islam and of communism, finally it
really becomes a case where evil simply becomes
good, more or less.

It may not always be easy to tell which are the
relevant facts, or even which are the correct facts.
But it is always easy to tell who the real purveyors
of evil are... because they will tell you themselves:
They are always the ones discouraging a free and
open debate of the facts.

Because they know their arguments cannot stand
against the facts, you will ALWAYS find the real
purveyors of evil advocating and practicing
censorship.

When you really believe that you are in the right
you believe that you are impervious to lies, and so
you do not mind them. You welcome them, in fact,
because they prove that you are standing with the
truth. And the truth is always welcome by those who
believe they are in the right.

But when you know you are in the wrong (or merely
suspect it)... you cannot bear either lies (or, least
of all) the truth. And this fact is what will tell you
who believes he is standing for the good, and who
believes he is the advocate of evil.
