Methodological Naturalism (in science)

[shunyadragon]

Is a religious agenda (as you put it) important?

A religious view is important for life. A religious agenda is not a good thing, especially when it represents a bias against science..

Is a materialistic agenda important?

Please define the materialist agenda you are referring to here. A strict atheist materialist view that the only things that exist are forms of energy and matter. At this point that has nothing to with science. Metaphysical Naturalism represents a materialist or physicalist view of existence. Methodological Naturalism only assumes that the Objective Methodology of Science is reliable in gathering knowledge and understanding the physical world, and makes no assumptions beyond this.

You tell me what agenda is important.
(Please don't pretend that you don't have an agenda.)

A universal agenda as proposed by Aristotle.

Thank you. Everyday you reinforce my decision to leave Christianity.

No wait, that's not fair, there are some wonderful Christians I respect here a lot. I love you guys, but he's a jerk.

***************************************************

Your decision to leave Christianity has nothing to do with anyone or
anything - you shouldn't lie to yourself or others. Your decision was
made because it suited your desires in other areas - end of story.

Actually, that's true. I confess. I was led astray by the spirit of chocolate.

No, what you said is weird, not related to anything I said. I believe God is universal, and the universal agenda proposed by Aristotle is good.
