Following a subject matter has nothing to do with belief. You can follow something without believing in it at all. It is not a bad phrase.
You seem to be confusing it with the idea of following a religion. In that context, following has a different meaning.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoYour own original comment was (I checked, to make sure it wasn't some third party joining in on our fray): > make you question the beliefs of all the people who do follow the science? It seems that, even in your own head, these two things are related very closely, the beliefs and the "following", to the point that this later assertion that they "have nothing to do with each other" is... just weird. "Follow" is just a bad word. In the most generous way I am able to read your rebuttal, it seems that you may have (inadvertently) confused two separate meanings. It would be better if you were to excise it from your vocabulary. It would allow you to think more clearly, and to not make mistakes like this one. Or should I go with the other, less generous, interpretations?
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoWhen I used the word belief, I was responding to your original comment which said: "without wondering if the climate change believers". At this point, I don't think we are having a productive conversation. Interpret it any way you like.
