Data is sometimes useful in applying reason but not always. Verification of data, framework in which it is obtained makes analysis difficult. People use intuition where no data is available(unscientific and therefore unacceptable). The social context is the source of data. Social context itself is affected by prejudices and technology. So, we are gathering data on shifting sands.
It is therefore necessary to introduce dialectical materialism to get data on individual needs(physical) and make conclusions.
The problem is : Humans are emotional. Prejudice or hate is a very vital emotion for survival. They call it "fire" in the South. One does not go beyond ones prejudices. These prejudices may be of well informed individuals.
It is necessary to decide the course of action. Which data are we referring to to bring change.
The explanation given above is necessary to distinguish between an atheist and a theist. The theists are responsible for carnage and mass murder quoting the scriptures all along which is pure BS. The theists want comfort on every level in their life. The theists have managed to convince us that all are not equal. They forget that this may mean that some people are superior to them. Yes, theists have a very wide comfort zone. Unfortunately all that is going to change in the current millennium. Mark Twain had said that the Bible contains more than 1000 lies.
We atheist have given the theists concessions. The theists sometimes show human nature making it difficult to call their bluff. The purpose of theism is Equality and Justice. The failure to realize this has been a boon for the atheists.
Thank you, theists
