Thinking weaselish thoughts at Eastertide

    I'm with you on every count, except the dreary FSM. The gospels are historical fictions, created (as Ernst Renan says) out of early Christians' great love for the dead-and-gone Jesus, and FSM is a fictive fiction that is supposed to make non-exclusively-rationalists feel stupid for needing myth (among other non-prove-it-fundie-ables).
