All of that is false, only remotely true in Kalamata's own mind through the magic of redefining words to suit his own purposes.
For example he defines "science" as "whatever I, Kalamata, believe" and defines everything else as "false religion".
He defines the Enlightenment as "everything Kalamata thinks was bad in the 18th century."
Whatever he thinks good... well, that was our Christian heritage, etc.
The fact is that Kalamata's thinking is both deep and broad, spanning the range from Lost Cause to Young Earth Creationism, I can't think of another poster like him.
And as you can tell by his posts here, he's also a royal jerk, loves to insult & lie, apparently for the sheer joy it, and so is unlikely to win friends or influence anyone who's not already committed to his unique outlooks.
I thought you had made a New Year's Resolution to make issue-based arguments to support your deeply held opinions and to avoid visceral, personal attacks.
You made it to January 2. It is not too late to turn away from the personal attacks.

Joey wouldn’t know the truth if it whopped him upside the head.”

I define science as the study of the world by way of observation and empirical evidence, in a nutshell.

I define Enlightenment as a word commonly name-dropped to make a person appear intellectual.

I need a translator for that one.

You need to get out more, Joey.

I am a counter-puncher. Follow my posts from the beginning of threads, and you will see that I only attack beligerent blow-hards, like Joey, who attack me first.
