RE: Psychiatrist says Trump shouldn't have access to nuclear button

Christianity is not scorned. People that hold other individuals accountable for their personal beliefs are scorned. Atheism isn't openly accepted. I routinely get told I'm a bad person for my lack of faith.

1. Christianity is constantly scorned publicly = read current news, read history = College professors are regularly in the news scorning Christians.
2. Atheism = no (a) God (the) belief (ism). Many many are in the news proclaiming atheism openly; specifically proclaiming atheism. Many many more, who do not use the term "atheism", push hard on 'no God' conclusions. Secular Humanism is 'atheism' (SH's god is "man").
3. you have faith, just not faith in the God of the Bible
4. individual people who call you a bad person for your "lack of faith" are not Christians even if they call themselves 'christian'.
   Being "Christian" is to believe in and attempt to 'be like the Christ' by following the tenants of the faith written in the NT. If a "christian" does not reflect 1 corinthians 13, AND 'the golden rule' Mathew 7:12.
5. everyone has faith. most faith is misplaced. Religion is not captive to Christianity, and being "religious" is very often far from being "Christian".

Faith and understanding the scientific method and the power of the peer review process are entirely different things...

PS
the peer review process is meticulous in gleaning out other scientists that disagree with the pack.
the peers chosen to be published are peers generally in total accord with the belief system the peer selection comes from...
Scientific American Magazine was created by a strong Christian man that wanted to bring science to the general population.
Now Scientific American does not allow publication of known Christians...no bias there is there?

no
they are the same
faith in evolution is based on certain scientific impossibilities actually happened against all odds
Faith in creation is based on certain scientific impossibilities actually happened against all odds
Faith is secular humanism is a faith of the imaginations of men
Faith in the Bible is a faith in the word of God
