Only if you define "irony" the same as "lying hypocrite."


Well, I mean if you want to refer to yourself that way, it's
certainly your choice. Doubtfull it will have much of an impact
on anyone's impressions of you.

You really need to take a remedial course in reading comprehension if
you don't know the difference between "this is why it happened" and
"he deserved it."

Or maybe you just need to not be so ****ing stupid.


Or maybe you need to take a course in writing to be understood:

"Bruno wasn't burned at the stake for saying the earth reovlved
around the sun, he was burned at the stake because he was a violent
asshole who went to considerable trouble to get burned at the
stake."

But then given your entire purpose of posting here appears to be cussing out other people, maybe taking a course on anything is far more than one could ever expect from you.

the specific claim was that Bruno was burned at the stake for

quite what he said, and b) had *nothing* to do with his being
burned at the stake.


Well, in fact that is pretty much what he said, and it was most
certainly an important factor in his heresy trial.

A major part of his
heresy was for supporting the new scientific understanding of
his day. The Church was killing people who advanced accurate
knowledge. That was Tyson's point, and it was well made.

The Church *paid* for the Age of Enlightenment.


Accidentally. I have little doubt they did not get the outcome they
expected! Knowledge. The killer of religion.

If it's only "why it happened", and not in any way "he deserved it", then it in no
way mitigates the guilt of the Roman Catholic Church in his fate.

I mean, we already know that he was very brave.

And what part of that, in your dementia, indicates that I feel he
deserved it? That describes what happened in a fairly objective
fashion. It says nothing about how I feel about it.

Moron.

But then given your entire purpose of posting here appears to be
cussing out other people, maybe taking a course on anything is

My entire purpose in posting here is to amuse myself. When grown ups
engage in grown up conversation about subjects I'm interested in,
that amuses me.

The other 99% of the time, I amuse myself by taunting idiots.

You're gonna be fun.

Perhaps he got so much negative feedback for his hateful
propaganda, they edited it to something more factual, and you saw
that edited version?

Because that's certainly not what I saw.

(And no, it wasn't an important factor in his trial.)

Only in your hallucinations.

There is no conflict between science and religion, outside of your
dementia.

But, you *are* named Chris, so dementia is mandatory.

And any guilt the Catholic Church may or may not carry in no way
relieves Neil theAss Tyson of his guilt for spreading hateful
propaganda, which is the subject at hand.

Like I said, there are pleanty of reasons to criticize the Catholic
Church, then and now, for things they've actually done. Repeating
hateful lies actually makes them *more* sympathetic, and makes you
look like a tool.

(Which you are, but at least you're not named Chris, so it's
*possible* for you to occasionally not be a ****ing moron. Rare
though it is.)

I mean, we already know that he was very brave.

So far as I can tell, he was actually too stupid to be brave.
Certainly too crazy.

Science is the use of reason. Religion rejects reason (after all, it
is impossible for a reasonable person to be a theist, and all religion
is theistic).

Science and religion are in total opposition.

No.

Religion rejects reason


No.

As usual, someone named Chris demonstrates it is mentally deficient.
