chris hedges on secular and religious fundamentalism

I have seen the results of other people testing it. Again, the scientific method intrinsically tests it for me, so I don't have to spend my life doing it.

I don't know that nuclear reactors actually work, I can't really test it because I don't have one available, but I think they do work, because I can see the results of them. Saying I have "faith" that they work, is misrepresenting what is actually going on.

>> ^longde:

The point is you haven't tested the results and the evidence.
It doesn't matter why or how or by what mechanism you have faith; you still have faith. Somehow, though, your faith is of more quality than someone else's. You reasoned out your faith, so it's OK.
"Assumption"? Let's not play semantics, here.>> ^gwiz665:
This is demonstrably false. "Taken on faith" is a huge misrepresentation.
We do not have faith in spite of the evidence, we have "faith" in the evidence. We can actually check up on it, we can even test them ourselves. If the results don't add up, one of our axioms (the stuff "taken on faith") might be false.
The entire scientific method rests on the fact that we can TEST our hypotheses, theories and the like.

Assumption is not the same as faith.
>> ^longde:
Whatever. Even atheists have faith. At least the ones that claim adherence to science.
Unless one has reproduced all scientific results and math proofs over the past hundreds of years, the efficacy of science and the honesty of scientists are taken on faith. This from an atheist trained as a physicist/engineer. There is nothing I have read about the scientific method that claims infallibility, but listening to alot of scientists (who should know better) and laymen atheists you would think it does.
edit: upvote for the discussion>> ^gwiz665:
Faith is the cancer of the mind, religion is just the outcome. The very essence of faith is to limit your curiosity, your search for knowledge and your very mind. I cannot abide by this.
I especially cannot abide by it when it is in people of power, like politicians.
It saddens me that smart, intellectual people are afflicted by this cancer, because it is such a damn shame that all they say have to be double-checked, because you cannot be sure whether it is actually founded in reason or in faith.
Faith has no value to me. Faith got us nowhere, reason got us to the stars.

I was happy when I saw Adam Sandler in "Funny People" making fun of the types of movies he makes in real life, but now I'm realizing maybe he felt he was actually just patting himself on the back.

Can't blame the guy too much I guess. There's obviously a market for his stuff or they wouldn't be so successful. Still, one must wonder: where would he be without 13-year-olds?

Veruca Salt "I Kissed a squirrel and I Liked It" Parody

Playinwithfire says...

>> ^shuac:
As Kenny Powers would say, "I'm about to fuck you up with some truth."
There were two songs with the title "I Kissed a Girl" and neither of them were by the band Veruca Salt. There was the 1995 tune by Jill Sobule and then the 2008 tune by Katy Perry, which this video is a parody of.
The footage in the video is from the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie with Johnny Depp from a couple years ago (really? do you kids really know that little about the threadbare culture we have?) and one of the characters in this movie is named Veruca Salt who happens to be featured in this video prominently.
And let me say for the record: duh. The internet is only the largest information repository known to mankind.

To Clarify, if it even needed to be, Yes, Veruca Salt IS ALSO a band, as well as the name of the well known materialistic,selfish little shit from Willy Wonka prominently featured in this video.
Wasnt aware, this somehow gave the impression the band "Veruca Salt" were the ones doing the PARODY, and they are 2 distinctly different things. So yeah point was, um its funny. The presumption from you though of any ignorance from this "kid" Is far funnier though. Seriously, you think anyones dumb enough to think this sounds like the band in any way? Get over your little judgemental, presumptuous, fact finding self and just enjoy the video for what it is, or heres a novel idea, how about if you felt my description gave the wrong impression, just simply pointing it out to me rather than spew venom? Check that information repository you mentioned, and look up "presumption" Then feel free to school the "kids"
