Why religion isn't under the same amount of scrutiny?

[devonin]

Well, it's unfortunate that you think it is dumb. But "I think it is dumb" isn't very good CT.

Here's the thing though, explicit in the whole concept of faith is that it does not need to be questioned. Having faith in a construct requires that you be prepared to accept it without subjecting it to scientific scrutiny. Anybody who tells you that religion -does- stand up to scientific scruitny is just as idiotic as someone who says it -should-
