Fundamentalist Fervor
What is with the self-proclaimed "objectivist" contributors here who wrap themselves in the cloak of "science" and insist that they're faith based beliefs be accepted by all without question, challenge or doubt. I am not going to name these people here because it will likely result in this thread being deleted and that is not my intent but these "naysayers" as some here describe these people typically have no first hand experience with the matters upon which they produce they're pronouncements and proclomations and when challenged on that they recite their theory of some basic physics premise that is incomplete, improperly applied or not relevant or else they simply say it is a matter of common sense. You can identify these people easily because they have what Americans call a "trigger finger" and will rapidly label anything they don't understand as "snake oil" or "placebo-induced" or fairy dust and then demand that other's prove their claims with some test they say is easy to undertake but which they don't undertake themselves because they don't even have the product with which to experiment! They are a form of fundamentalists and my question is why do you think they are here what is their point if they don't hear differences at all?

shadorne6"Nothing fundamentalist about a skeptic’ Not all so called "skeptics" are fundamentalists but it is obvious from this is site that many of the people who would describe themselves as skeptics are indeed fundamentalists they use a particular source and cite it as perfect infallible and authoritarian that is what a skeptic is and then they use this fervent belief and conviction to state their opinions repeatedly in this group as though they alone have access to the truth. |
amg56"A sceptic is only called that, by persons who have no factual backing about the subject they preach" So what do skeptics call themselves then God? Mr. I Know Everything There is To be Known? Ye Who Shall Not Be Questioned? And in case it is not clear to you it is these fundamentalist skeptics who are doing the preaching and proselytizing, just as you have here! |
There is actually another thread here that looks at this same issue, but from a less provocative angle. In both cases the answer is really the same: There is no shortage of those who would tell others what to do, think and believe. The best response is to think for yourself. |
