Boss
Take a Memo:
"There is no god and there was no creation intelligent or otherwise.
The only meaning to the existence of homo sapiens is that at this point in time we have developed enough scientific toys to possibly extend our stay til the end of universal time when it is suggested that the cosmos collapses or perhaps and more likely artificially destroy ourselves long before the next great collision or certainly when our sun expires."
Congratulations! You have become a faith-based believer!
Nonsense.
Faith is a reaction to and equal to the size of the carrot offered. I do not believe in any science that promises me anything more than the benefits I receive from the medications science has delivered that are extending my life and making what it cannot cure at least make more bearable.
I believe that science has had a hand in the preservation of this country and our way of life. I certainly do not have faith in those that have positioned themselves the gate keepers of the scientific discoveries care about me personally.
We here in the USA have been fortunate to have ":won the lottery" in a sense. But still our leaders babble on and on about God and their enemies babble on about their Gods all of which is just so much nonsense to me.
If science was so beneficial to us as individuals we could have used this knowledge to radically reduce births of stupid people and really extend ours, those that understand that science offers more to us the living and our stays here on earth.
Sure science has won many skirmishes against the true enemy of humanity which is disease. Still we offer the drastically poor a benefit for spitting out more mouths to feed. We seem to value stupid people more than ourselves. When bad things happen to us our representatives say "pray" to God for the victims and their families. I am just worn out on the nonsense. I resent the exposing of the stupidity of faith as transference to some other "faith".
Sorry, I have no other faith to substitute for the ridiculous faith of religion. I do not step on cockroaches to make room for a different brand of vermin.
What you are expressing is your faith.
"...all of which is just so much nonsense to me."
That is a direct grammatical expression of YOUR faith. I highlighted it and pointed it out so that you can see, even when you are professing you do not have faith... you have faith. And by the way you actively express your faith in these threads when they always come up, is indicative of how much conviction you have in your faith.
Now, I can't actually speak for you because I don't know you... but what people of your faith typically have done is... they switched a faith in religion and God to a faith in Science and themselves. Science has become their Religion and they are their own God.
...to radically reduce births of stupid people...
...We seem to value stupid people more than ourselves....
These are jarring comments to me, someone who values life and believes all humans are created with God-given equality as humans. It is Freudian evidence of where the Faith of Science and Thyself eventually leads with regard to ethics and morality.
(BTW... Eugenics has been tried before.)
