ben stein : "it was science that led my cousins into the gas chamber"

[iamthebandfanman]

i heard him say that on a morning christian show yesterday.
they were talking about science versus religion...

now, i know ben is a convservative jackass and all....but...

damn.
thats a lil out there.
he shames his 'cousins' by such a statement....
science didnt put them to death, the nazi(FASCIST) ideaology did.

anybody else hear him say it by chance?


EDIT: ive been looking around the net n found out he actually wrote a book about how science has persequted christianity...that explains it. i had no idea he was a religious nut until yesterday.

1. science is just a neutral tool that can wielded for good or evil.

[hatrack]

2. Invoking the Holocaust in the service of ignorance and untruth . . .

But I guess as long as more money makes its way into your bank account, that's A-OK with you, right Ben?

Because when we get right down to where the cheese binds and the panties twist, that's really all it is for you - gooood ol' all-American money, and how much of it you get, right?

Whatfuckingever.

3. It was also science that U.S. consertives were using

to push and implement eugenics with the Germans
the same people behind the planned coup against Roosevelt

4. And it was science that put him on my TV

6. Its not like the reasoning in the Old Testament was a walk in the park...

7. You could just as easily say that business led them into the gas chambers-- or religion.

The fact is, it was the Nazis who did it. The Nazis used religious mythology, science, business...

8. well, they are going to kill them regardless

so they probably figured hey might as well do experiements...
its no different from people using lab animals these days...

its sick and horrible and he shames all the jewish people by making such crazy comments.

10. Governments Have Never Lacked the Means of Carrying Out Executions

If they didn't have gas chambers, they would likely have used electrocution or the gallows.

11. Godwin's law.

You fail, Ben Stein.

And, to be fair, it was also science that got them out. :shrug:

[uppityperson]

12. What religion were his cousins?

Were they killed because of their religion? Most likely.

[malaise]

13. He's one of the 'stupidest'

of dumb fucks. What is not a product of science?
