Beware of this day. I shudder to imagine life where instead of morality to guide us we are guided by technological efficiency. For me to understand your thought here you should further define your use of the term science. Do you consider democracy science? Is justice science? Is music and art science? Is friendship and love ruled by science? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

I shudder to think where we would be if we hadn't eventually shrugged off the stranglehold the Church had on science and medicine. In the 14th century, probably. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

What again is your definition of "science"? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

And banned them all and imprisoned anyone who tried to use them. That's the difference between the Church and real science. The Church always asks what fits into their narrow view and disregards the rest as heresy. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | You have certainly shrugged off truth and let falsehoods rule your life. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Just like the Church, ay.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | Good comeback Bob. Come on just because you have a child's understanding of history doesn't mean you have to use a childish insult. Instead just read some real history. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

| Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | I'm trying out the Socratic look for a bit: Question: is it sinful to pray to pray for someone to die quickly and without pain, rather than suffer a lingering, painful death? Don't be too hasty when answering. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I think the Socratic method is a good one. I think that all would desire to die without pain. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |
