As a Christian, I am a citizen of another realm and as such have little interest in the science of this one. However as one called to live in this one, and seeing the damage done by scientists, I have to say that if I had an interest in the future of this planet I would vote for all scientists to be put in straight jackets and put somewhere where they can do no more damage.

GTFO the internets and live in a cave if you like it so much.
Ok, if you don't want science to be doing any more damage, then give up everything that science has done to make your life what it is today, starting with that computer you're using.
People like this annoy me. Just about everything we enjoy and take for granted these days is down to science.
If you are a citizen of "another realm", why don't you just fuck off to to it, no one will miss you here.
So set up the Lampstand Theocratic Republic of Science is Evil, then. I'm sure there's SOME government that has some land they're not using.
...Sadly, it would probably get lots of immigration.
How very christian of you.
The same can be said for you and your kind, judge not lest ye be judged after all.
"As a Christian, I am a citizen of another realm"
you mean, like a mental patient?
'I am a citizen of another realm'
Yeah, the person who says this shouldn't be put in a straight jacket... It's those crazy scientist types who should be locked up! Makes perfect sense...
Ironic, in that you use a computer built with science to promote your stupidity. Fuckers like you who hold such disdain for this life in the promise of some batshit fairytale afterlife piss me off. We're trying to make this place livable for future generations, and all you assholes do is try to ruin it with your apathy, focusing on something that doesn't even exist! Die, all of you.
Like everyone has said, this person should stop using all the wonderful technology science has given her before saying something like that. Not just the computer used to spread these hateful views, but things like medicine, glasses, modern clothes and food and so on..
And also, here's a quote from the wonderful Isaac Asimov that I think rings very true: "If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them."
Yes, scientific progress has, at times, created problems. We are destroying the world through our modern technology. But short of killing 90% of the population there is no solution to this other than doing more science to come up with new, cleaner, more environmentally friendly technology. And that's what we're working at.
Take your clothes off, chances are you are using something made with science.
Get out of your house. Electricity is sinful.
Enjoy the cold. We will let you have fire, advanced stick and perhaps a tent. Good luck living...
I have to say that if I had an interest in the future of this planet I would vote for all scientists to be put in straight jackets
Religion have done FAR more damage, and cost many times more lives.
And yet you're using a computer and the internet. Why are fundy christians who hate science such hypocrites? He probably has a large screen hi-def TV, large stereo system, and all the good stuff science has given us. Why don't you and all your fundy nutjobs go back under that rock and leave us alone?
Streetsinger, about one in four of you "citizens of another realm" are here because science has vastly improved infant mortality rates. So first you should select which 25% are going to off themselves so as to undo that particular piece of damage.
Next, modern medicines and vaccines have greatly increased your chances of living through a disease. So if another 15% would kindly "undamage" the world, that would be great.
Oh, and the survivability of surgery has vastly increased, so if any of you remaining has ever had an operation, would you kindly decide amongst yourselves which 50% of you needs to do the right thing, thanks.
Plus, all the rest of that damaging increased life-expectancy has to go too. So the older citizens will have to top themselves until the average age of the group is back down to about 35.
After all, if you want the scientists to stopping doing all this damage, you wouldn't wish to be the ones profiting from it right? That would be hypocritical!
ARRGH! It's "straitjacket," not "straight jacket"!!
Obviously language skills aren't your forte, either.
"I would vote for all scientists to be put in straight jackets and put somewhere where they can do no more damage."
You mean damage like antibiotics, improved agriculture, stuff like that? Surely they should burn in hell for such monstrosities!
This is the single most insane thing I've ever read.
Here, let me translate it...
"As a member of the Venusian race, I am a citizen of another planet and as such have little interest in the trees of this one. However as I crashed my spaceship on this planet, and seeing the damage done by trees, I have to say that if I had an interest in the future of this planet I would vote for all trees to be put in straight jackets and put somewhere where they can do no more damage."
No, doesn't make any more sense like that, either.
"As a Christian, I am a citizen of another realm and as such have little interest in the science of this one. "
"I would vote for all scientists to be put in straight jackets and put somewhere where they can do no more damage. "
We are asking for damages and restitution in the sum of one bajillion dollars.
Somebody is too stupid to actually grasp what it is they are saying and wanting.
Here is a moron who wants to go back to living in caves, wearing animal skins and hunting his own food. Everything else in the world is the result of science. Of course, this guy couldn't skin a cat.
"However as one called to live in this one, and seeing the damage done by scientists, I have to say that if I had an interest in the future of this planet I would vote for all scientists to be put in straight jackets and put somewhere where they can do no more damage."
They tried that once. It's called the Dark Ages and spanned about a few centuries worth of oppression, cruelty, violence, disease, famine, short life spans and technology that extended to who could make the sharper sword. Sounds like heaven on Earth to you though, I'll bet.
Okay- no more science. Turn in your Bibles; we're going to start scribing by hand. None of this "printing press" flibbidy gibbidy.
EDIT:
I'm the citizen of another realm, too.
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
@Tarvu for President!: What is that graph actually measuring as advancement? The Romans didn't really invent anything the Greeks didn't (well, a couple architectural innovations and some military gear...)
And are they seriously claiming the "Dark Ages" were about equal to the Egyptians ? They barely bothered to make metal weapons! The Egyptians were about the most technologically stagnant civilization ever. Also, the Mycenaeans and Greek Dark Age are missing.
... I am a citizen of another realm ...
Oh, I know, I know, Disneyland, right?
What, so, like, you're from another planet?
That would explain a lot.
"As a Christian, I am a citizen of another realm..."
Careful streetsinger, you are endorsing a crucial aspect of gnosticism, which orthodox Christianity declared a heresy long ago.
"As a Christian, I am a citizen of another realm"
Cloud Cuckoo Land, presumably.
"and as such have little interest in the science of this one"
Ever heard of $cientology? Your local Org would love to meet you!
"However as one called to live in this one, and seeing the damage done by scientists, I have to say that if I had an interest in the future of this planet I would vote for all scientists to be put in straight jackets and put somewhere where they can do no more damage"
Psychologists are people who study the science of the mind. You are a $cientologist!
"I am a citizen of another realm"
Yeah, well I have dual citizenship with the UK and Atlantis. Honestly, do you realise how pretentious you sound?
Well, aren't you special. Don't mind us rational human beings trying to maintain a livable world for our descendants, just stay in your own private Idaho counting the number of feathers on an angel. We'll try to get by without you.
"As a Christian, I am a citizen of another realm..."
Oh yes, never a truer word said. Is it true that Bizarroland is nice at this time of the year?
"However as one called to live in this one..."
You can fuck off any time you like. No, really, don't let us stop you.
"I would vote for all scientists to be put in straight jackets..."
And all scientists (and all other sane people) say the same about you. That is, those that don't think you should all be thrown over a cliff or fed to the lions.
"...where they can do no more damage."
Well, I agree that not all scientific progress has been for the good, by any means. However, on balance I'd rather live in a modern world with guns and nuclear weapons than live in a bronze age society run by fundamentalist imbeciles. A "joy" which awaits our American friends if they somehow manage to make Rick (I-Should-Be-In-A-)Sanatorium president come November.
Says the dolt on a computer, and posts it on the Internet. I bet he's in a modern house, with some kind of air-conditioning, with modern appliances and electricity.
Don't worry, dearie, we can remove all these "damages" of science from your life for you.
Monks have been the scientists of their time, at different times in history, ya know.
"I would vote for all scientists to be put in straight jackets and put somewhere where they can do no more damage.”
He said on the internet…
I mean, yes, Science was used to create the products that caused the hole in the Ozone layer a while back. But it was science that detected the hole. And figured the steps needed to fix it.
So, you look at, what, pollution, as something scientists caused? Well, why lock them up now, then? Figure prayer will be more useful in fixing it? Or magic?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
