It’s not the fault of the church that faith is incongruous with certain values like sin and blasphemy.

- Terretta 8mo agoCertainly it is, as the church defines the terms.

- pfannkuchen 7mo agoJust in case: I am saying that the progress being referred to is progress in a particular direction, and that direction is a chosen one, and the choice is made by humans without any actual scientific basis. Just like blasphemy etc in religion have no actual basis aside from being in a direction other than the direction of the religion. To one group progress looks a lot different from what it looks like to another group, we can’t just say “progress” any more than we can say “blasphemy”.
