Is It Wrong That A Scientific Nation Leans On Religious Views After Things Happen?

[tru_m.a.c]

i mean if your singing about religious things thats probably what your into and that goes for other styles of music as well


if your going to blaspheme and denounce religious things at any other time of your life what are you really doing trying to comfort somebody expect using their religion like a pacifier to stop them from crying or whining? its basically treating grown people like children and that isnt real respect


i wouldnt go to a hindu funeral saying all whole bunch of "praise whoever they praise" knowing damn well im not into hinduism

because you wouldn't be familiar enough with that culture to do that

oh so tell me again how this country isnt completely ran by science? im not sure why alot of you keep saying this with no proof

Why do I have to prove a theory you put forth?

lawyers aren't needed in undemocratic societies

Sacrifice them, then, harvest their cells for research

because you wouldn't be familiar enough with that culture to do that

not really because i am familiar with it somewhat i just dont have the same beliefs as them

Why do I have to prove a theory you put forth?

i already gave a video of how the leader of this nation is science first so now its your turn to prove how what he does and says has no real effect on what the people of this nation believe or how his re-electing is not a reflection of what this nation already believes and holds as most relevant and beneficial to this society

to be familiar with something somewhat is not the equivalent to being immersed, exposed and comfortable with it

whatever dude.

 

[Propaganda]

what the hell are you talking about?

america is quite obviously a very religious country that isn't "ran by science" and the non-religious people aren't asking "oh god why" or asking for prayers or any of that shyt.

so, well done dirty jerz. this is a shining example on how to make a completely nonsensical thread in an unbelievably stupid attempt at pushing an agenda.

Fierce debate after Newtown school shootings: Where was God? - U.S. News

Fierce debate after Newtown school shootings: Where was God?

What is to blame for the Connecticut school attack?




In the wake of catastrophe, people want explanations, and as news spread of the mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, some religious conservatives were ready with an answer: the exclusion of God from public schools and the embrace of liberal social policies.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who is ordained as a minister in the Southern Baptist Church, said Friday on Fox News that "we've systematically removed God from our schools."

"Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?" he asked.

The intensity of the rhetoric underscores how quickly discussions of the religious underpinnings of tragedy can turn heated. Little noticed among Huckabee's critics is that he didn't say God turned his back on Newtown; he expressly said God was there in the good works people were doing.

"God wasn't armed. He didn't go to the school," Huckabee continued. "But God will be there in the form of a lot of people with hugs and therapy and a whole lot of ways in which he will be involved in the aftermath."

Other social conservatives echoed Huckabee's thoughts on the root cause of Friday's attack.

James Dobson, the evangelical founder of the powerful organization Focus on the Family, said on his radio show, "Family Talk," that because "we have turned our back on the Scripture and on God Almighty, I think he has allowed judgment to fall upon us. I think that's what's going on."

"How many people are saying, 'Oh, we need more gun control'? How many people are saying, 'If only God was more in our schools'? How many people are blaming it on this politician or that politician?" Warner asked her congregation.

"Another article I read was about how Mike Huckabee was blaming this on our politics, and so from both sides you've got the questions and the blame game happening."

Those are "all ways that make it easier ... to stay a little bit more removed from it, to not have to enter it in such a profound and intimate way," she said. But that's what makes it all the more important for religious people to confront tragedy, not seek to explain it.

Sure, "we need doctors," she said. "We need symposiums on world poverty. We need people to go in and address issues and to help provide a response. ...

"But we need healing, and healing comes with relationships. Healing comes by reaching out to someone and listening. Healing comes by calling and following up.

Healing comes when those four friends grab their friend and say, 'We're in this with you,'" she said, an allusion to Mark 2:1-12, in which four men lower their paralyzed friend through the roof of a crowded building where Jesus is preaching so he can be healed.

Real healing, Warner said, "steps into the pain and is with someone in it."

For starters the US' rankings in science related academics is piss poor and dropping

Secondly yes half the country is for science, but the other half is against it... the only other countries in the world w/such backwards attitudes towards science are places like the Middle East

You yourself embody it... this whole thread is about how folks who believe in science run back to religion in dire times... you are playing right into the GOP agenda

 

[The_Sheff]

not really because i am familiar with it somewhat i just dont have the same beliefs as them

To go further on what Mac was saying.....if you were raised Muslim and grew up in that religion then if you entered someones home and they wanted to do some religious customs you were very familiar with then you wouldnt go out of your way to show them you didnt believe what they believe. Its the same thing that happens here in America with atheists.

so because some 15 year olds cant read and write as good as some asians who go to school all year round means this nation isnt science first? i dont get it friend


i embody backwards attitudes about science how? if "one half" of this country is science and the other religion and we have 1 religious candidate and 1 science but the science wins......what does that add up to?


i think you and your friends in here are so caught up in trying to say what this thread is about(attention seeking agendas etc) in an attempt to shut it down that you have pinned yourself in a position to say silly things like "well we dont rank higher than some other nations in grade school reading but we still have equal or further advanced technology than them"

To go further on what Mac was saying.....if you were raised Muslim and grew up in that religion then if you entered someones home and they wanted to do some religious customs you were very familiar with then you wouldnt go out of your way to show them you didnt believe what they believe. Its the same thing that happens here in America with atheists.

well i can see what you're saying with that but homie was trying to I.D me talkin that exactly what i would do stuff its cool though
