"Math doesn't lead to jihad."
Yeah but darwin led to social darwinism which led to the holocaust.
And math is used to program missiles and build nuclear weapons.

Did someone say porn?

Oh....
.....my.....

:groans:
"Does this mean math causes porn?"
Oh man, check out the repeating digits on her!
Babe, your figure makes me irrational....
Damn, she makes me go all transcendental....
Hmm, so math is bad ??
You sound like the kind of employee I want in my Burger Emporium, no here is no need to count your wages, remember ... counting is Math .... and Math is ...
BAD !!!!
You, Sir, are a fucking moron, you are more than just a Moron. You are the archetypical moron, the moron by which we rate other Morons. I you will look up the term 'Moron' in the Hitchhikers guide to the Universe it will say "see 'abandoning eden'".
(that's in the latest edition, in previous versions it said "see Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal" )
(The Encyclopedia Galactic, btw, says "see George W Bush (or "abandoning eden")" )
And when the next chapter is added to your precious holy scripture, there will be an extensive parable devoted to you, the Beast of Ignorance, and you will be known by your own number, and the number will be:
1 divided by zero.
Exactly, they are just ideas used to describe the universe, and they are right, even if they can be applied to do things that are wrong.
Jesus coming led to hatred against jews wehich led to persecution of jews in chrtistian countries which finally led to the holocaust.
Jesus coming led to Jerusalem and the surrounding landscape being perceived as holy which led to the crusades which led to numerous atrocities by christian soldiers against jews and other inhabitants of the holy land.
Protestantism led to religious wars between protestants and catholics which, among others, led to the depopulation of whole regions in germany due to atrocities by catholic as well as protestant soldiers.
It is somehow funny if you think about it. Just compare the "o so peace loving" christianity with "not so peaceful" primitive european pagan religions. The primitive pagan religions were by far not so rigorous in the extermintation of unbelievers, as the christian denominations.
All of that is true, and yet stupid. Darwin,s goal was not social darwinism, and the theory of evolution has nothing to do with it either. Likewise, mathematics' purpose is not missile programming either. It would be like blaming Jesus for the holocaust because Hitler was Christian. Jesus' intent was never the extermination of non Aryan people. he wasn't even Aryan himself.
And from religion we got witchburnings, the inquisition, the crusades and a bunch of other holy wars. And not to forget 9/11 and other such things
And Darwin can hardly be blamed due to the fact that some people twisted his theories to fit they're preconcieved notions.

Hey, pal, you with me on my new toilet banning movement? It's sure to be the next big fundie craze.
Are you arguing that math is a bad thing? I admit, I have never been very good at it and struggled with it all through high school and college. I'm not a fan - but beyond that, what exactly are you arguing?
Social Darwinism led to biological knowledge advance. A leap, even. Still took over 100 years to really be applied.
The Holocaust was religious idealogy taken to its agenda. Christians thought the Jews killed Jesus, because the church taught them that, because the Catholic church wanted the whole religion game. It was a mandate to whipe the others out.
Math is a scientific tool, the Nuclear bomb is an extention of the knife, the sword, the spear, the gun, the cannon, the missle, the atomic and nuclear bomb. Christians have used them all. All the others? Not so much
The Old Testament
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy
Joshua
Judges
...
Math, it's used in all sorts of shit!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
