Fundamentalist Fervor

What is with the self-proclaimed "objectivist" contributors here who wrap themselves in the cloak of "science" and insist that they're faith based beliefs be accepted by all without question, challenge or doubt. I am not going to name these people here because it will likely result in this thread being deleted and that is not my intent but these "naysayers" as some here describe these people typically have no first hand experience with the matters upon which they produce they're pronouncements and proclomations and when challenged on that they recite their theory of some basic physics premise that is incomplete, improperly applied or not relevant or else they simply say it is a matter of common sense. You can identify these people easily because they have what Americans call a "trigger finger" and will rapidly label anything they don't understand as "snake oil" or "placebo-induced" or fairy dust and then demand that other's prove their claims with some test they say is easy to undertake but which they don't undertake themselves because they don't even have the product with which to experiment! They are a form of fundamentalists and my question is why do you think they are here what is their point if they don't hear differences at all?

amg56@clearthink You might be best reading the forum's policy before having a go at me. I posted same on the tweaks thread… Best you Clearthink yourself before slagging off at me, or my opinions, which so happens ...

You are paranoid and creepy I am not "having a go at you" and what you write here sounds very much like a threat so you would be well advised to state your opinions without targeting me.

amg56"A sceptic is only called that, by persons who have no factual backing about the subject they preach"

So what do skeptics call themselves then God? Mr. I Know Everything There is To be Known? Ye Who Shall Not Be Questioned?  And in case it is not clear to you it is these fundamentalist skeptics who are doing the preaching and proselytizing, just as you have here!

amg56"I am not paranoid or creepy and certainly not as foul mouthed as you, (regarding the end of your post to @unreceivedogma in the cables thread) hiding behind capital letters’

You look plenty creepy and paranoid to me and if you do not like my contributions here you are free to direct your complaint to the team of Moderators who monitor, manage and control this group it is not for you to direct me as to what I can say here. You're interference here is actually helping this thread because it illustrates some of my concerns with the contributors here who bludgeon others with their religious fervor and strict fundamentalist belief systems so you can leave me alone now and by the way what grade are you in in American "grammar school"?

Fundamentalists are being drawn to this thread like a moth to a flame yet many do not see themselves for what they are this is very enlightening to me that they are so unaware of their behavior!

shadorne6"Nothing fundamentalist about a skeptic’

Not all so called "skeptics" are fundamentalists but it is obvious from this is site that many of the people who would describe themselves as skeptics are indeed fundamentalists they use a particular source and cite it as perfect infallible and authoritarian that is what a skeptic is and then they use this fervent belief and conviction to state their opinions repeatedly in this group as though they alone have access to the truth.
