@RealName & Anonymous
Seems to me you should just leave people to their own myths.
Why, I'd be happy to do that, RealName, if they could keep their myths to themselves and not insist that they are true and that everyone else must run their lives by those myths whether they believe them or not.
But at the risk of asking an obvious question, would any of you offer the same level of ridicule for a similar museum created by Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Wiccan, or Shinto fanatics?
Believe it or not, Anonymous, I most certainly would. In fact, you don't even have to build a museum! Just come talk to me about your favorite myth that you just know is the One Truth, and I'll be happy to tell you how ridiculous it is.
What is the alternative to ridiculing this? Let it go unquestioned as the truth?
Read the article carefully, and you'll see these particular fanatics have no problem ridiculing people who believe differently than they do. That's fine. They have every right to do that. If, however, you're going to drag religion out of your church and home into the public arena, you can expect people to challenge you. Religion doesn't deserve any special exemptions or privileges.
