Science and Love, Religion and Hate ?

[mongers]

Listening to some old hippy music and this line crops up:

"It's a new age under science and love, joining together that's building a new age"

Which got me thinking, most scientists I've met seem like good, positive people. Whereas some of the religious people I've know have been somewhat judgemental and a few rather hate filled. Though that's not to say I don't know plenty of decent Christian folk. 

So do you see any connections between the practice of science and love ? 

[Admiral Yi]

No, but there might be a connection between the modern humanities and hate.

Yeah.  They're called Jesuits.

Generally speaking, I'd guess that to become a scientist one needs to have a decent upbringing.

I'm sure Mengele loved his work.

I don't run into scientists on a regular basis.  If they are like any other type of academic they often petty, vindictive, arrogant and more then a little crazy.

After what?

[Razgovory]

After they wake up.  They are fine when they are asleep.

[grumbler]

So, Raz's role models are academics.  Who knew?

[Razgovory]

Yep, in fact I modeled my posting technique on a certain educator on this board.

[Eddie Teach]

 

"Who taught you to post like this?" "You, grumbler! I learned it by watching you!"

   "You learned... poorly."

No all religions are equal.
Some are used as a conduct to channel hatred into outsiders and justify their failed ideology.

Are all religions ideologies?
Not sure. Islam certainly is.

Anyway, the only reason the West had the renaissance and the industrial revolution is because western religions, which shaped western culture, were far more pro-science than any other religions and cultures.

Don't believe all that communist crap about the conflict between religion and science.
That's a modern construct.
If it were true, there would have not been any scientific progress in the West and there would be a shitload of scientists killed by whatever church was in power.
Instead, we got Giordano Bruno, one guy, which by the way was half crazy in ways not related to science.

Whoa, languish is so fucked up and so liberal that even I find myself defending the fucking church, the cradle of anti-Semitism.
Amazing.

One could argue that Western advances happened despite religion. Those advances have been fought at every opportunity by zealots.

[grumbler]

Western "religion" has never been as pro-science as "Islam" was in the Umayyad and Abbysid Caliphates.  I use quotes because I don't think religion actually had much to do with the matter.
