"The difference between science and religion is that it doesn't care about yours or anyones feelings."
This is such a silly understanding of what science is
science is only as beneficial to humanity as its practitioners will allow it to be and its practitioners have routinely demonstrated that quite often it is not rationality that wins out in the end
"Science doesn't have any of this bullshit.
If science is used for "bad deeds" it's not the fault of science"
Isn't gun control requested, for example, because the type of science that has gone into creating guns has facilitated the ability to kill people more easily?
how is that not the fault of the types of experimentation that has lead to perfecting guns as killing weapons?
science is a practice, its something that someone does to solve a particular problem and if the problem is to say kill people, then experimentation is done to refine technology used for killing

You cannot tie Science to morality. They are completely different.
The scientific method gave us gunpowder, which originally was used for medical purposes.. It was later that it was used in warfare by those with less than honorable ideas.
Science doesn't control how something gets used, science is about explaining how it works.
Religion is the opposite, it dictates how we should treat others... And like the Bible verses I provided earlier... It doesn't care if it makes statements like telling men to marry their rape victims. Science doesn't partake in any of that. It doesn't care about morality.
People need to stop trying to tie science to human emotion.

Hehe, like a priest would say.
Ontopic: I do know some good people that are Christian but most of them kinda worry for what happens to me after i die,part of me wants to be kinda offended by it,another feels pity for them and the last part is semi gratefull that they care for me.

The power of fear does some crazy shit to people, it can throw all rationality out the window.
Take the current Corona virus issue for example.

"You cannot tie Science to morality. They are completely different."
You cannot separate the two and to think you could shows a complete lack of understanding of what science actual is
Science as I have stated is a process carried out by people
The end result of that process is therefore dependent on the philosophies of those people
"Science doesn't control how something gets used"
Well it couldn't since again science is not a noun, science is a verb, an action and actions are obviously informed by philosophy when it comes to sentient beings
"Religion is the opposite"
There's a kind of ridiculous notion that i think you are laboring under that all irrationality in humans can be tied back to religion and if we could just destroy religion people could become much more rational and that is such a wrong proposition that its absolutely incredible that anyone could entertain it
"it dictates how we should treat others"
all of the philosophy on the left when it comes to how society should be governed is atheistic and largely determined by what leftists would claim is science, do you disagree with that?
for example, when leftists say we should eat the rich, they claim this idea is based in scientific models showing increasing inequality correct?
