[quote=Anonymous]If I argued that the US was the greatest country in the history of Earth, you compared it to Ancient Rome, and I took *incredible* offense to that comparison, would you keep making similar comparisons?

For whatever it's worth FSM is absolutely about logic. The genesis of the FSM was in response to right-wing Christianists who were attempting to codify Creationism in public schools. The FSM was conceived as a way of showing that every single argument made by the Creationists to leverage the fundamentalist Christian god into schools could be made for any arbitrary supernatural being.

Again, because you don't bother to understand a critique doesn't mean it's illogical. And while I'm sorry there are a small minority of "believers" who don't understand and are offended by the analogy, the absurdity is a necessary part of the perfectly rational argument.

Now, the truly sad thing about your post is your implicit comparison of the hegemonic class of American Christians--who have a long history of curtailing the rights of minorities--to the minorities that have been oppressed.

Sorry, calling a black person the n-word (with the long history of our nation) is a far cry from saying that the belief in one god is no more plausible than any other.

I think this kind of hair-trigger tendency to don the mantle of victim supports the OP's thesis.[/quote]
