I request a forum be made on the subject of Christian ideology. In this forum things would be discussed like: the link of Christianity to such moral horrors as the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, medieval witchburning, the current situation in Ireland, denying real scientific knowledge to schoolchildren in certain parts of the world, and the war in Iraq.
The Christian ideology is central to the Creation vs Evolution controversy. There would be no big controversy if it weren't for fundamentalism. I would post some limks to people completely biased towards my position but I don't see the point.

Re: Let the satire resume - Now let's see what happens
Or you could re-close this thread, close the Forumarwinian Ideology thread, and everyone (with the possible exception of Syamsu) could get over it and get on with something a little more productive instead. That was my original intention.

Admin, can we all forget about this? Humans and their politics will use anything to form ideologies. What they use is irrelevant. With the exception of education, none of this needs discussing at this site. Please close this thread and Syamsu's Darwinist ideology thread. Again I state that this was my original intention.

Re: There's Nothing Funny About Satire
So what the fuck's you're point then Syamsu? Sum it up in one concise sentence. Otherwise get the fuck off my thread. Sorry to get a bit shirty, but all you do is spout irrelevant crap which goes nowhere. You got one, that's right one, sentence to make your point. If you can't then I for one ain't interested. C'mon put your balls on the line and try it.

Re: There's Nothing Funny About Satire
I can see that you can't make your point, because there obviously isn't one, as I expected. Goodbye, don't come back.

Re: Pages and Pages
That's all I wanted to hear. You've admitted that Darwinism is in no way directly related to genocide, just as I am prepared to admit that Christianity isn't. The question is why do you keep begging discussion of the links between Darwinism and Nazism? It's no big secret. The reason I started this thread was because the only reason I could see for you starting your thread was to point the finger of moral blame at Darwinism, in an attempt to argue that Darwinism is ethically wrong, and should therefore be ignored regardless of whatever scientific integrity it may hold. In other words, I saw that you were inserting ethics, politics and political correctness into a purely scientific debate, where it doesn't belong, as these things have no sway over science. If you can't see where I'm coming from with this, then it is you who are ignorant.

Re: Pages and Pages
I think it is clearly you who is being anti-science here. You are needlessly injecting politics into the science of history. I have the ideal that science should be free from politics, while you just blandly assume that Darwinist science is free from politics. It's not, as you can see when reading Dawkins, or Lorenz, or Haeckel or Darwin.
You can't just shake your head and say 'No I'm not, you are' without giving a reason. It also seesm to be common knowledge on this board that you haven't read anything by those authors. I can assure you that what I've read of Darwin and Dawkins (The Blind Watchmaker, and The Origin of Species) contain nothing even remotely political in the slightest. I'm sure if you've only ever read a few out-of-context, edited quotes it could be made to look like they do, however.
Natural Selection should be formulated individually, in stead of comparitively, if we would apply the same rules which we apply in every other science.
Please stop talking in riddles and elaborate on this further, if it actually makes any sense whatsoever.
