I wonder what it's like to live in a die hard religious family, when stuff like this happens, when Cosmos is on TV. Do they never watch it, talk about it? How does that work, I don't get it, must be so weird, at least I think it's weird.... But what do I know lol
The family thinks you are weird. They become upset and angry at each other if the topic is brought up. The husband lashes out and applies strict rules with strong prejudice, shaming the family from none pure thoughts. The mother feels stress to keep unity in the family, she supports her husband. The kids go to bed feeling ashamed as they wonder what it means to be alive, thoughts of jesus or allah or whoever speak to them through their inner monologue. They feel a connection to their faith, yet, strangely find that connection is not from an outside force, instead the force is coming from within. They question if it is faith that pieces them together or if they are their own living being. The emotional abuse caused by religious dogma corrupts their self esteem and self understanding, creating undue stress and agony, fueling mental instability. The hierarchy of unity punishes them for speaking out. They feel trapped, with most giving up, broken by a system of control and manipulation.
The father is ashamed at night, feeling a sense of failure as his family struggles to follow the dogma which was brainwashed into him as a child. The wife feels ashamed at night, feeling a sense of falure as the family struggles to follow the dogma which was brainwashed into her as a child. The children feel ashamed at night, feeling a sense of failure as they try to understand the world around them and the faith being forced upon them.
You have to be wrong or the unity that has built the family will crumble. You are wrong.
Okay, I'll bite.
There's a very strange irony to your post; it comes more from a place of dogma than the family you illustrate, in how inaccurate it is in capturing an actual religious family and more a caricature of one. If you wanted to illustrate a dogmatic family you've succeeded, if you wanted to illustrate a religious family you've failed. not all "religious" families are dogmatic. you could also just as easily sub in political dogma for religious dogma in your illustration; but then does it really capture strictly a religious family? no. it's too much of a reduction to equate religious experience with dogmatic experience, and it's pandering to the same popularist crowd that people like dawkins like to cater to and think their achieving any meaningful critique. all you're really communicating is the idea that religious belief comes from a place of dogma, which is ludicrously wrong and only applies to a minor subset of the religious population who are more dogmatic than they are religious.
Most people are pseudo-religious. He asked for die hard religious. Politics and Religion are one in the same, at present. Most people are pseudo-political. My statement would apply equally to a fanatical (staunch) Democrat or Republican household. In politics it would be possible to have a party that was based purely on science or a present party changing to become more pragmatic, thankfully.
This is not the first time in humanity that people have more rights to think freely and act justly. Further, the present time is not guaranteed to progress into more rights and freedoms. History has shown that Religion or Dictatorship can overpower a group previously living in freedom, creating hysterical divide: known as the corruption from power.
None-Religious people can fall into similar circumstances of die-hard or fanatical religious (and certain cultures) people. Racism, Sexism, Prejudices, Stereotypes, Xenophobia are all learned behaviors. Religion by definition and practiced by definition is a harmless projection of humanity questioning consciousness. Religion at present and past, indoctrinate some or all of the following: Racism, Sexism, Prejudices, Stereotypes, Xenophobia.
I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time
Sadly the discovery made is yet to be proven as an evidence to the theory and it most likely wont. So much for the amazing discovery bleh :/
I sometimes wonder... imagine these physicists doing all this theoretically genius work for years and then they could struggle their entire lives to find a solid proof that their ideas are actually very much practically real and not do it. Must be damn hard, would probably feel like they wasted their life and yet if we didn't have these people we'd be probably still under the dictatorship of the church and the US wouldn't even exist.

The certainty and confidence people talk about gravity leaking through dimensions in the multi-verse when they can barely do basic algebra its kind of funny but I guess general interest and wonder in science is better than apathy for not understanding it
