Sciences strives for balance and harmony with nature through knowledge
Religions creates divisiveness through fear, ignorance, idolatry, and superstition
Skepticism compromises through process of critical thought
- Review of Ten Tests to determine scientific worthiness of any claim by Michael Shermer from his book The Borderlands of Science..
No search for the meaning of God would be valid without a discussion of the opinions of my three primary antagonists: the scientists, the religious, and the skeptics. They have intelligent members with pure intentions, but seem to derive diametrical opposing conclusions.
Essays:
"Man is kind enough when he's not excited by religion, but once the holy holies have got a grip on him he's capable of almost anything. When a disciple from the wildcat religious asylum comes marching forth, get under the bed. It doesn't matter whether he's a Christian, Hindu, Jew or Muslim. If he's made up his mind that you need reforming, he will do it with anything handy - an ax, 800 years of witch burning or, if necessary, he'll blow you up." Mark Twain
