Mysticism vs. Science and Logic (yet again)

Just about every other Wednesday, some mystic head will put down science and logic. Whenever I (or Diploid or...?) catches it we generally respond, "Now transmit your message to thousands without using logic."
*Crickets chirping*
No response. Using a tool to tell other how much you hate the tool is the height of hypocrisy.
Are these fluffernauts willing to give up music, genetically crafted bud, a flush toilet, their cars? Hell no. Do they read the Cultivation Forums to learn process and procedure (science)? Of course!
Get a clue cyrstal-wielders and try to be somewhat consistent in your outrage.

I really don't know what you are talking about, and your use of a neologism obscures your meaning further.
What exactly is the problem?

You are too new to know.
Fluffernauts are people who believe in silly things.
For more info, try a Shroomery search for the SAME term.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Fluff: something of no consequence
Fluffernaut: one who bases much of their world view on fluff; i.e. New Age quackery, crytals, homeopathy, ESP, UFOs, etc. and has a very difficult time using logic and as it applies to their pet beliefs

I thought fluffernauts were those people who work in the porn industry...

Wow Middleman.
You can edit your posts a LONG time after you make them...
And it doesn't give YOUR edits a time-stamp.
Anyway, your edit inspired me to do the same.

The underlying meaning all depends upon how you split the word....
Fluffer: A fluffer is a hired member of the crew of a pornographic movie whose role on the set is to sexually arouse the male participants prior to the filming of scenes requiring erections.
Naut: An abbreviation for "Nautical" Nautical: Relating to or involving ships or shipping or navigation or seamen.
Semen and seamen all in one word....!

Wow Cervantes, lighten up. I thought it was funny. 
The OP is obviously trolling, so I thought I'd fight fire with fire.
If I offended anyone, I apologize.
