Came directly from a real life buddy who posted this on face book.
Opinions???
"It has become almost a cliche to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature, but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics."

It's true... Because everyone can read really, and your mom dropped you when you were a baby if you can't.
((Or just couldnt afford to send you to school..))
About religion....... he is atheist
Now figure it out.
It's obviously a metaphor for sexy time.
Normal english version:
Everyone's afraid to say they can't read, but no one gives a shit if they say they aren't good in math/science.
Wrong. Its about religion and science.Quote:

Maybe because most of the people dont think maths will be usefull in their future lifes besides counting dollars or money? D:Quote:

LOLWUT???
It's a cliche to know literature?
But it's okay to reject truth socially?
/fail.
Seems like he's trying to say that despite proof through science and mathematics, people still try defend their religious literature, and find it comforting to know that others feel the same - Probably not meaning the actual "literature" but the peoples' beliefs.
"The people are ignorant and stubborn", sums it up :\
Sigh.
The fact is, that is how I would understand the quote. I'm not very big on religion, nor do I care if someone believes in the commonly taught science..
It's been proven.
That's why it's science. (Def:: The state of knowing. You wouldn't know it if it couldn't be proven.)
It's the same as saying 'WRONG!' to someone's opinion on a.. On a quote, for example... -glare-
If it can't be proven, how is it wrong?
It's the dumbest Quote I ever saw T_T
"God may be omnipotent, he may be all knowing, he may be all power, and maybe even vindictive; but, if I know anything of God, he still is kissing the fattest part of my @$$ every day of the week."- †wis†
No, I am not saying your wrong by the actual meaning based on the words.Quote:

The funny part is, literature is more connected to mathematics then to religion.
Read my above post again, I edited it.
Debating against opinions.. I give up on this topic t-t.
Literature in the quote is referring to religious writings.Quote:

I guess that's because literature can be written by man and known
Truly by only the past men who have written it, the way I see it is that Science and Mathematics are going to be cared about more seeing as they boast the most profit for man and is created BY man, while if you see the bible, you know how old it is and it isn't proven that god actually exists and you need one key factor for you to believe in it, which a hell of a lot of people don't have (Including myself) which is Faith.
That's the way I see it, and that's my opinion, I don't really agree with that quote at all.
