Science, as we know, is answering many questions religion and philosophy used to answer. While scientists are typically honest and objectives, religious leaders often have some points to make that are subjective and arguably manipulative.

Scientific theories are designed to be tested with evidence. Theories that we have now are theories that, at least in the past, survive the scrutiny of scientific inquiry. Understanding scientific natures, for example, will help us understand theories that will correctly predict reality more.

For example, a religious sermons might advice, “Men should not aim for pretty women, and women shouldn’t look for wealth.” It’ll usually followed by messages that humans will achieve more happiness if they follow that advice.

The Jews and Palestinians have killed each other over land for thousands of years.

I was wondering. The Palestinians have controlled the land for more than 1200 years. Would the Jews mind allowing them to have the land for 60 years if that means peace? Probably not.

Some are assholes and will fight. However, most Jews are known for being good capitalists. Why fight if they can earn something peacefully even if that means it’ll take 60 years longer.

And what about the other way around? What about if the Jews say, “Look, I want the land for 60 years. After that, it’s yours.” Will Hamas choose to fight?

I was driving home from a marriage party. My girlfriend is driving because I can’t drive. Suddenly someone yell swear words at us. Then that guy stops in front of us. We apologize not understanding what’s wrong. They claimed that my gf hit brake suddenly. They look like they want to fight and keep yelling at us telling us to get out.

So I thought may be I should bluff them out. I yell at them to come if they want to fight. They call my bluff.
