Science is known for free thinkers contributing to it.
But "tar and feathering free thinkers"? What does that mean? Example?

And have you got something against thinking freely? Are you expressing a fear here that people thinking freely will disbelieve your religion because that is what thinking does?

Agree.
If someone on this earth is *not* thinking freely, then there are a bunch of fundamentalists. Of every religion and -ism. No group is so scared of people thinking freely as the fundamentalists.
Terrorists are fundamentalists, because these are easily convinced that there is only one truth to believe in. The rest of us are a threat to them and have to be killed.

Whodey believes that Breitbart and the Daily Caller portray academia accurately, and would much rather take their word than that of actual academics. He endorsed the view that academia should be "nuked from orbit."

I'm certain in your religion of scienceism, you've heard of a fairly well-known physicist, Richard Feynman.

He was attributed with some excellent quotes, all of which are equally applicable with the clowns of this forum who fancy theyselves 'free thinkers' when the reality is, they're just a bunch of party line parrots, otherwise devoid of basic science discipline.
To wit...

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.


And this gem:
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.


And yet another:
It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.


But wait!
There's smores!
Our imagination is stretched to the utmost, not, as in fiction, to imagine things which are not really there, but just to comprehend those things which 'are' there.


Good stuff.
You 'fundies' could really benefit by being more open minded.

Just sayin...

Experiment.
Seriously: try it.
Actually be open minded; it will blow you away.

Subscribing to absurd conspiracy theories is not the same as being "open-minded." Indeed, it takes a very narrow mind to dismiss the obvious evidence dispelling these myths.

That go-to argument is about as insipid and boring as any excuse can get.
Whatever your individual level of understanding of human history might be, a person would have to be completely ignorant of the same to fail to see conspiracy as handmaiden to power--- especially when it's been revealed repeatedly.
Ever hear of the Tonkin Gulf incident?
Operation Northwood?
Are you naïve enough to think the people in government actually consider themselves servants of the public?
Were you born yesterday?

That people sometimes conspire to do things doesn't make every moronic conspiracy theory true.

Interesting.
Name one you consider legit which hasn't already been discussed.
Or, if you prefer, speak on Operation Northwood and explain the similarities of those suggested courses of action and, say, what happened in the U.S. over the ensuing years since.

Take your time.
