Religion is stupid and there is still a God in heaven

@TheMetrologist

It is very hard for me not to see him as quoting out of context to create the illusion that I’ve contradicted myself. I’ve been very patient, but I draw the line at blatant intellectual dishonesty.

Well I am happy to take another look. Here is the original claim I responded to:

@TheMetrologist

I think this is one of the reasons it’s important for scientists to be properly schooled in the humanities:

Here then is my initial response:

@Sheldon

Why would you make the unevidenced assumption “scientists” are not?

So that a question to be fair, as that was how I was reading that assertion. but asked for clarification from you. You’re response was a denial here:

@TheMetrologist

I didn’t say they weren’t. So you are reading into it.

But here you are reading into it accurately. I do think that too often scientists these days are insufficiently trained in the humanities.

I don’t think anyone could call that dishonest, and I partially quoted for brevity, and anyone can use the links to expand any quote to see the full post, or the link to go to it, and the preceding posts.

However I don’t think it is very honest to focus on this one point, and ignore all the rest in my post, since my intellectual honesty is being questioned. However if you want a contradiction you’ve made try this one:

@TheMetrologist

I didn’t make any claims about a deity on this forum yet.

What have we here then:

@TheMetrologist

Here “God is…” obviously is not a claim about existence, but about the notion of God.

That sure looks like a claim to me, and of course as I pointed out several times your profile contains a claim, as it states plainly you are a theist.
