      What religion changes its dogma when new information arises? I can’t think of one.

      Hey now, that’s unfair! It only took Mormons a little under 150 years to decide that black people were allowed in Heaven!

      I thought I heard once there was a principle in Judaism that new science was supposed to be incorporated. I’ve never been able to find reference to it again so it was something the person that told me this wanted to believe. Has anyone else heard of this?

        The kneejerk anti-science feature of Christianity was added in a fairly recent update. Yes, you’ve got Galileo. Yes you’ve got the Scopes Monkey Trial. But I never saw the type of shitheadedness we’re now familiar with in the rank and file until the 70s when the Televangelists came online.

      Decentralized ones because no one stands to gain as no one holds control.

      Unless you mean that “there’s no proof of (thing) so it’s wrong to believe it”.
