how can anyone believe in religion and science at the same time? how do such people reconcile the conflict between the doctrines of the two? my mentor told me that one tells us why and the other how. but aren't they on different logic and narratives?
and i had no idea a box of small 280ply kimwipes costs over 60 bucks until i stumbled across the price online.

another friend of mine seems to conclude that some christian scientists take bits and pieces of values from the doctrine of christianity, and others from science as and when they need it. i find such practicality and inconsistency hard to tolerate. but maybe she's right.
also, i've been reading nietzsche recently too. in his why i am so wise from ecce homo. an exerpt talks about buddah and christanity which i thought was extremely true:
"This was perfectly understood by that profound physiologist Buddha. His "religion," which it would be better to call a system of hygiene, to avoid confounding it with so wretched a thing as Christianity, depended for its effect upon the triumph over resentment: to free the soul from it-that was the first step towards recovery. "Not through hostility does hostility end; through friendship does hostility end": this stands at the beginning of Buddha's teaching this is not the voice of morality, but of physiology. "
nietzsche is good.
