Even things that are untrue may provide information about the mental experiences of the person who believes them.
Religion and mysticism are far too common to simply dismiss as nonsense; it behooves those of us who reject them fundamentally to understand better their hold on the minds of others.
I don't think that dismissing them as nonsense, and seeking to better understand their hold, are mutually exclusive. We should do both.
Nonsense is not the same thing as falsehoods.
For comparison, I am happy to dismiss as true nonsense, and give no further consideration to, the significance of nature's 4-day simultaneous harmonic time cube.
You are stupid and evil, have been scammed by criminal educators you one-ist anti-intelligent fool.
Ok, I had to actually go read (well, skim) that abortion of a site before I realised why you seemed to suddenly turn into a troll ;)
But I have to say - your sentence makes too much sense to really reflect that site. For one thing - your sentence isn't in newspaper-headline grammar. All cube truth denied!
Although I must say I've personally adopted the phrase "educated evil and stupid" as it applies so well to so many people.
My eyes! my EYES! oh, why, oh why did I click on that link!

As an upside, I might be able to grok Nabokov for the next two weeks. best case scenario: the effect wears off the moment my nabokov paper is turned in.
