Why do respected scientists get so affected by people who dont agree with them?

Probably the same reason Christians get offended by gay people who have nothing to do with them.

They should be able to accept that not everyone believes the same and they do. Have a live and let live attitude.

Many of the atheists here are that way too. /affected






It's hard to be accepting when religious wackos are trying to push their delusions on you constantly. I'm just supposed to sit back and be tolerant when school board fundies want to teach my son the earth is 6000 years old?

The truth is, Christians feel entitled because they represent a huge majority in America. So they think they should be catered to.

Thats just silly. My parents (well one is, my mom is dead and dad is alive) are Christians who supported gay marriage. It really doesn't help any argument to paint with a broad brush and declare victory. It looks dumb.

What even qualifies as a "scientist?"

Just some idiot with a degree in biology or engineering or some other science? I know plenty of those and of those I know plenty who haven't the slightest idea of what they got their major in. That guy sounds like an intellectual moron

I'm with Tych. Sounds like that's an issue with your school board. Not Christians.

Who votes to put religious fanatics on the school board, atheists?

He obviously was affected totally. He spend much of his free time studying and preparing his arguments so he can battle christians.

Many people are like this. /affected





Bonk why do you always like to over generalize like this? Are you really that weak minded?
