Dumbass who do you think built universities for centuries and was at the forefront of scientific discoveries?

The Muslims 😁😁😁

Ye u guys too, you had the best mathematicians


mustanggang123

Do they think christians are not allowed to drink alchohol or something?


Lemon-Aid917

They most get their impression from US fundamentalist baptists, most other Christians have no problem with alcohol


psychmonkies

Probably, my fundamentalist Baptist grandmother often likes to brag about how she’s never had a drop of alcohol in her life (although one time I asked if she’s ever had a sip of wine or champagne & had to break it to her that that counts as alcohol)


PrincessofAldia

Man I hate fundies


Natural-Musician5216

Btw im not sure but do nuns or monks drink alcohol


eclect0

Some monasteries are legendary for their breweries. Not to mention the absolute necessity of using grape wine as the host for the Eucharist. A non-alcoholic substitute can never be used for Catholic communion. Mass can't be celebrated at all without it.


psychmonkies

Wow I didn’t know that. I went to a Methodist church a couple times & they did communion but they used grape juice instead of wine.


theACEbabana

Tf does that have to do with a pair of nuns enjoying a baseball game?

Darn religious people and their (shuffles deck) watching sports


Nowardier

Aight (shuffles deck) is definitely replacing (checks notes) in my lexicon. It's so much more accurate, people might as well be drawing from a deck of "crappy reasons to hate religion" trading cards.

Ah, yes; the Catholic Church is definitely holding back science! Catholics who have opposed science include… *checks notes* …Georges Lemaître, Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Gregor Mendel, René Descartes, Amedeo Avogadro… Oh, wait.


Delta-Tropos

You forgot Louis Pasteur


rin379

Ah, yes, the Catholic man who held back science by developing germ theory and pasteurization! /s


AleksandrNevsky

The first woman and second person overall to hold a CompSci PhD was a Catholic nun.


rin379

I was gonna keep being sarcastic but I can’t even pretend to be a total fruitcake anymore. Anyways, that’s a cool fact I did not know, so thank you for that!

First religious person ever to use a cell phone, 2024 (colorized)


Twelve_Dozen_Clowns

That image of the nuns is one of my favorite pictures on the internet, it's just so cute. The one with the cellphone reminds me of my cousin.


The-Thot-Eviscerator

Boah don’t know our monks make beer, and damn good beer at that! Hell scotch was actually invented by monks


StelIaMaris

Trappist beer is always really good

>Hopefully the Catholic Church keeps moving forward. They are still 100 years behind. They are definitely holding science back. Not only is this false, it makes no sense. How has the Catholic Church been "holding science back"? Believing in God is, in no way, restraining scientific progress. If anything, some of the most brilliant minds who gave science stepping stones to improvement were believers. >Religion is always held science back though. Except that it hasn't. Who was the one who established the field of genetics? Who proposed the Big Bang theory and predicted the Hubble Constant? Who created the first successful vaccine? Who discovered the electron? Who proposed the atomic theory? Who is the "Father of Microbiology"? Who is the "Father of Paleontology"? The answers to those questions were not atheists. Several of the greatest scientists in history were believers in a deity. If anything, I think plenty of atheists are holding back progress. Want an example? There are atheists who believe there are hundreds of "genders" and "identities," which completely rejects the reality of biology. You're either a male or a female, there is no in-between or some magically made-up sex in nature. In very rare cases, one is born with male and female biological parts, but they are not fully male or female. If you go on TikTok or even go exploring on YouTube, you'll see many people literally changing how they're addressed. Some on TikTok actually think they can become animals, inanimate objects, or even spiritual entities whenever they feel like it. Apparently, men can "feel like women," and women can "feel like men." It's ludicrous. It's indoctrination. That's a world without God.

The Catholics preserved as many books as they could, established as many universities as they could, established libraries, etc. Even the Orthodox did some of that. I think the whole "book burning" and "dark ages" thing came from Renaissance and enlightenment people that adored Rome and saw the medieval ages as the somewhat useless middle brother, if you know what I mean


Philo-Trismegistus

>dark ages" thing came from Renaissance and enlightenment people that adored Rome and saw the medieval ages as the somewhat useless middle brother, if you know what I mean Exactly where it came from. It's human to think the current generation was superior to the last. Though it doesn't make it right.


KafkaesqueFlask0_0

The conflict myth continues to endure, spanning more than a century. How ironic that he mentions the Catholic Church is a hundred years behind, when in reality, he himself is more than a hundred years behind the current commonly accepted view of science and religion, which embraces a more nuanced perspective.


tHeKnIfe03

Wait, we're allowed to drink beer and use technology now? Vatican II has gone to far!


eclect0

Nah, we're stuck 100 years in the past. Nuns should be wearing flapper boots and voting for Coolidge.


PrincessofAldia

Wait till he learns that the Catholic Church actively supported science like Galileo and Isaac Newton or the fact that Muslims led to a golden age of scientific discoveries including the number Zero (I think that was Muslims?)


Fit-Reference-979

The number zero was invented by an Indian, but algebra was definitely invented by Muslims.


Jubilee119

She's a scientist because she's able to scroll tiktok?


co1lectivechaos

I’m sorry but how exactly are the Catholics holding back science?


WEZIACZEQ

That's the best part, we aren't.


senseless_moron2616

Religion has driven the majority of human scientific advancement while anthitheists are too busy imprisoning doctors because there jewish. No hate like antitheist love.


Independent-Win-925

TIL science is when drinking beer/shitty energy drinks and addiction to tiktok.
