Science and technology have given us nuclear bombs, depleted uranium, a pacific ocean with more plastic in it than actual living creatures, created an over population problem, extinction of species, etc... etc... etc... etc....etc
If all of the so called "scientific-factual-logical" people were indeed scientific, factual and logical.... Then would it not have been prudent to
NOT develop the "*toys*" that we use to kill our fellow human beings and destroy the enviroment?
A dichotomy of logic and science most often tends to be a very selfish dichotomy that provides power hungry men the tools to commit their atrocities but never accepts any blame or responsibilty for its own involvement.
So how about just basing decisions on sympathy, compassion, respect and tolerance. Which are at the very least words within the language of religion.... But are in of themselves illogical, non-scientific and factually irrelavant.
