My point was that this form of thinking can be used to support
anything. Some will use it to support one thing, others its opposite.
What none of them do is consider the evidence and decide based on
that. Instead they pick a conclusion based on faith ("based on
spiritual apprehension rather than proof") and then try and bolster it
with misinformation and illogic.
Religion is Evil because it destroys rational discourse Maru.
