Science is the Only Objective Truth

[Major Nikon]

28. Science does a great job dealing with morality. Religion sucks at it

In the purest sense, science is the collection of knowledge. Up until a few hundred years ago, the study of the physical world was simply a branch of philosophy and the two terms were interchangeable. Within philosophy, you'll find the study of ethics which deals with the subject of morality quite well.

Religion sucks at morality. That's because pretty much all knowledge in religion comes from revelation that is supposedly divine inspired, not reason. There is no arguing with such "morality" outside the confines of religion and revelation always trumps reason. Therefore if a religious tome says it, or someone who pretends to be inspired by god says it, there is no higher authority one can appeal. That's why you get dipshit 'morality' like birth control is bad, sex outside of marriage is bad, jerking off is bad, abortions are bad, homosexuality is bad, and blasphemy is bad. Furthermore there is no way to challege such dispshit notions. God wants it that way, so therefore that's the way it is.
