If somebody literally believed in a multi-armed, elephant-headed monstrosity up in the clouds granting wishes[1], I would THINK TWICE about him. I reserve the right to THINK TWICE about people who are completely deluded. As an employer, might I still exploit this person's labor? Quite possibly. But you better believe that modern-day medievalists give reason for pause. Most people are only nominally religious, or behave so, which is expected.
Sorry for repeating myself, but when I say something that is 100 percent reasonable, I don't really like taking a lot of shit from people.
ignorant comments, perhaps you should read the Bhagavad-Gita
The day I read the Bhagavad-Gita or Rama-rama Ding Dong for that matter in order to reduce my ignorance is the day I die.
which implies suspending scientific, critical judgement
...which implies stupidity. I know, I know. That's the problem. I don't want people suspending scientific, critial judgement.
[1] Or whatever the hell it does--it's not relevant.
- comatose_kid 19y agoSuspending scientific, critical judgement wrt religious beliefs does NOT imply stupidity - I thought my previous post made that pretty clear. As to not wanting to read the Bhagavad-Gita, I don't really care if you do or don't - but don't expect to be taken seriously when you deride Hinduism. And if you don't like taking a lot of shit from people, perhaps you could try respecting others first.
- mynameishere 19y agobut don't expect to be taken seriously when you deride Hinduism There's a whole army of people on reddit and elsewhere who deride Christianity endlessly and are very much taken seriously when they do so. It's a common double-standard, and I'm always amazed when people get offended by it merely being pointed out.
