Well your comment was in response to my assertion that the words of a fundamentalist aren't dangerous. If dangerous people are looking for justification it's wrong to blame the one doing the justifying.
I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just suggesting that it is possible for someone to be genuinely influenced by the words of others. Surely we can agree on that?

Sure but does that make the influence dangerous?
Less dangerous than the action but it still contains a degree of danger. Not sure how anyone could legitimately suggest that it doesn't. That was your original inference.

That said, I am completely opposed to any attempts to use my argument as a vehicle to control free speech. Thats f**ken bullshit.

For Izzy, you’d refer him to a mental health assessment scale, scroll down to towards delusional psychosis.

Like I said earlier, there are no facts just interpretations.

Thing is you can track the big bang. Even today. No one with half a brain disputes that the big bang happened.

The question is why? Or maybe better, how?

And what was there before that and what created that?
Nobody knows.

My mate Jack Diplock reckons we are part of a kids school science project and he created the big bang by adding some chemicals on purpose

Well if you want to get really crazy, there's apparently plenty of evidence that we're just part of a simulation

There are facts when it comes to science. There are no facts when it comes to religion.

If I can routinely test something to determine how it works/it’s existence, would you not call that a fact?
True there may be something at an even finer level but it doesn’t negate the factual evidence above it.
The difference between your “facts and interpretations” is faith. Religion is faith in the existence of something irregardless of everything else. Pure faith would be even willing to question your own existence before questioning the existence of whatever higher power. Science doesn’t place faith in anything, rather stating you can and should test existence, not just take it as gospel
