The rational mind and rational thinking can operate from a place of evil or not. Math, physics, engineering, and medicine might be used to evil ends, but those things in themselves are not evil.

To link this statement from taxesareforever with math, physics, engineering, and medicine is a false and faulty linkage.

No problem, since words mean whatever you wish them to mean, and morality is whatever those in power say it is.

" To link this statement from taxesareforever with math, physics, engineering, and medicine is a false and faulty linkage."

In what way? They are all products of rational thinking. Taxesareforever has called rational thinking the devil's work. He has said,

""I don't consider rational thinking as a gift. It might be thought of as the Devil's play book."

Here are some more of his gems(not sure how much of this thread you have followed):

"That is the reason that people who think rationally usually reject God because the thought of a God who could accomplish so much is just not rational and therefore unbelievable."
(in other words, rational thinking leads to atheism--CG)

"I do not think that I am capable of making rational decisions on my own."

"Why is it not wrong in other countries? If there laws allow it, that is what makes it right."
(speaking of things like honor killings, genital mutilation, stoning of adulterers; expressing his moral relativism--CG)

"By the way, answer my question. Is slavery a moral issue? If you say it is where do you derive what is moral and what isn't?"

"Of course I consider abortion wrong. If the our government sanctioned slavery I would say it was wrong because it would be against our Constitution."
(Whatever a government says is OK--CG)

"What is right or wrong for one country is not necessarily right or wrong for another country. Just ask the people living in other countries."

""Like I said, the Bible doesn't support it nor does it condemn it, so who am I to say it is immoral."
(speaking of slavery--CG)

"I did not say slavery was moral just because the government allows it."
(admitting he thinks slavery IS moral--CG)

Saving the best for last,

"My position on slavery? I don't consider it is wrong to have slaves."

I don't think you want to be defending this one Running Wolf. Just think of what you would be defending.
