More like a LAWL

just take this minute, this one minute in your entire life, to think about just how wrong you are, and how potentially wrong about other things you might be. This is your chance to change.

So wait, we must accept theories as fact, yet actual scientific laws are LAWLS?  Hope that wasn't your point. 

And you wonder why you can't convince others.  Honestly, you sound like a little like an extremist nut.  No real discussion, just "You're wrong."  So, have you ever thought what if you're wrong?

I sure hope you're trolling me. Because you're making it really hard to not feel intellectually superior.

LAWL = your answer is a joke.

Laws are unrelated to theory.

Laws state the case, and theories explain them. The law of gravity is how gravity works, the theory of gravity is WHY gravity works.

And yes, that means that theories are never proven. Isn't that wonderfully humble of the scientific community to say, "despite that we know some of these things are 100% fact, they will never be proven beyond theory". I often wonder how the pious can argue with that.

And yes, I always think about what if I'm wrong. I question everything I do because I need to know that I'm always making the best possible decision. And sometimes, I don't know the answer. I encourage the culture of questioning everything, and not faith, because in both scenarios, those actions become habit and it is better to question everything, than to believe everything.

Far from the case that I want religious people to give up religion. I want religious people to stop being sheep, despite whether or not Jesus is a shepherd.

That "minute" still exists, btw
