"Values" are judgmental evaluations that label a specific outcome as better or worse than another outcome.

Science is unable to quantify value judgements.  Science can only tell us what "is", whereas values tell us what "ought to be."

Values are not scientific facts, because they can not be tested. 

For example, one way to judge an outcome is to look for the best "individual well-being", but another way is to look for the best "greater good."  Two different evaluations that can't be repeated or tested scientifically. 

Example:  Is it better that 5 soldiers risk their lives to rescue a hostage (individual well-being) or better to abandon the hostage rather than risk the lives of 5 soldiers.  These are value judgements that can't be resolved through any scientific or empirical method.

The people who believe science can create a "religion" and define what is right or wrong are looking at a narrow list of examples that agree with their persoanl moral value judgments in each case.

just pierce your dong and tell your parents you hate them, same result.

science has nothing to do with values...

here ya go right from the Satanic Temples own website. Notice how dumbass doesnt believe in any of their basic precepts?


III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

Nothing against my parents.  They too are not really religious.   Just cause you lived a religious life don't make mine bad.   Unless you got molested by a priest or have daddy issues cause of your childhood.

I believe in all of those...I use science unlike you.  I've never said you shouldn't be able to say stupid offending shit.  And I also believe in freedom, unless that freedom encroaches on others.

Yes it can,  you can value things that provide a good benefit for science and humans without religion...

Since you can't have Satan without Jesus, wouldn't that make Satanist just another Christian denomination?

NO

Dumbass just admitted he worships made up things. Not an epiphany for us, but maybe for him,

Most info he post is wrong, so that could fall under the "made up" category.  So are we surprised?

Why have a symbol of worship i.e. "temple" when you are the atheist?
