What definition are you using for "outdated?" And what counts as "detriment?" So far, I haven't seen any indication that terrazoids is a fundamentalist by that definition. |
Outdated: Stone age man's first belief system was likely to be Animism, then magic, then religions with multiple gods and then religions with a single god. Christianity appeared 2000 years ago while science really only came into it's own during the Enlightenment of the 17C. In the UK, religion as a belief system has almost disappeared though there may be some that truly "believe". It actually shocked us to learn that parts of the USA were still wanting to teach creationism in schools. That's why I said outdated.
Detriment: I know nothing of terrazoids real life so I'll only comment on what I've seen in this thread. From his first post here he has been put down, argued with and subjected to ridicule. All of it deserved. This single thread will most likely taint any future activity on this forum. I'd say that's to his detriment.
