...the fact that if you voice certain opinions to police it will cause them to treat you differently should be telling to you that there is a problem.

If you cannot see how that attitude is dangerous, and how many times in history human dignity has been trampled because people were too afraid to unite against a bully, I don't think you deserve to call yourself an American.

Always enjoy reading your lucid, critical-thinking posts. You're an asset to the Shroomery and PS&P in particular. Thanks! I hope you stick around here for a long time.

CS Said: This acceptance with no evidence basic delusional thinking at the heart of every religion world wide is the real problem.

If they believe something based on no evidence, no amount of evidence is going to change their mind.

The big bang doesn't pretend to give an answer to the origin of the universe while religion does. Scientists are searching to find a reason, and religious people pretend they already have one.

There are so few rational people here who have a clue what science is and isn't that it's nice when a new one shows up. Welcome to the Shroomery. I hope you stick around.

something cool said: I am the world's authority on the matter [neuroscience], and many comprehensive resolutions for some of the most enigmatic human ailments come directly from me. And my work forms the forefront of some areas of neuroscience, and national health agencies are learning from me.

Linky for the audence. 'Nuff said.

I wish more people had the capacity to think clearly like you obviously can. Welcome to the Shroomery. I hope you stick around!

If I'm rotting because of shitty decisions don't pay for it, don't assume responsibility, let me dry out in a ditch. I didn't ask for your moral paternalism. I'm an adult. If I make shitty decisions that's on me. Don't prevent me from getting a job for it, don't expect me to have to buy the rights to my own body, & don't assume some abstract responsibility to take care of my health.

It's totally mind boggling to me that for some people they need to believe in the supernatural just to be happy. I've even heard religious people say they would commit suicide and or go chaotic and kill everyone if their god didn't exist. That is fucking hilarious and equally disturbing at the same time. What is so wrong in that we are humans on planet Earth that is situated in a super vast Universe that might as well be infinite to us? Isn't that enough? You still need a god? You still need to believe in magic so you don't slit your wrists? You can't metaphorically and literally just stop and look at a flower and appreciate it? It has to have some supernatural meaning or else you aren't content?

If anything is sad it's those people. Those people who aren't content with their own lives so they have to make some bs up just to stay sane.

Welcome to the Shroomery. I enjoy your posts and point of view. I only wish there were more people like you in the world. Maybe then this planet wouldn't be such an ugly place full of the harm superstition and nonsensical beliefs cause.
