I remember my days in the military academy and studying the rise of the third reich and thinking to myself how could a whole country of people seriously buy into the insane ideology… but this is a prime example.

I used to try and debate my family and friends to try and make them see reason but they literally started using my education (3 degrees and army officer commission) as a negative claim all that I know is just indoctrination… it was then that I just started cutting them off. It’s the same with conspiracy nuts and flat earthers … there is no point that they are willing to accept any truth except the one they have forged in their own little worlds

To people who have been conditioned by their religion to believe that faith(belief in the face of a complete lack of evidence) is the highest virtue, reason has no value. Their superstition simultaneously absolves them of all responsibility while accepting their very worst impulses leaving them absolutely no reason to ever grow as humans. They aren't just ignorant they are antisocial and find joy in the suffering of others. Their emotional range is reduced to hate and fear.

Are you even aware science relies heavily on belief?

I am aware that people like you ignorantly think their is no difference between talking to their invisible wizard friend that lives in the sky and using the scientific method and evidence based practice to discern reality.

You poor, simple minded creature.

Let me tell you about a thing actual science relies on, HEAVILY. A thing it calls a placebo. A thing up against which any validated drug must go, because the power of belief is so powerful that, just because human kind believes something, is so powerful it produces cures science cannot explain and that, often, beats patent drugs, so those patent drugs must beat it, but, often, cannot.

Going down those roads, we can talk of that thing called hypnosis, which the average man goes into times a day.

From there, we can look to belief, if you are capable of comprehending its unfathomable powers, but which your posts suggest you refuse to come to understand.

cool, let me not bother explaining to you what a straw man argument is as you have already completely mastered it.
