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.
