[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GIGO? Great way to kick off the rest of your ill-tempered post.

So implying that religion is "absurd" by equating it to something that is "intentionally absurd" is different from an "insult"? I'd love to watch you try to flesh that one out.

And I find it hilarious that you're accusing US of not arguing in good faith. You obviously don't like being equated with racists. That's your prerogative, as you said earlier when you defended the FSM and said it was fine with you if we disliked it. But your dislike doesn't make the racism analogy any less valid as an analogy. In fact, it's all the better: we dislike "intentionally absurd" FSMs and you dislike being equated to racists. Call it "uncomfortable" but don't get all disingenuous on us and call it "bad faith." That would be, uh, bad faith on your part.

Also, your argument that a person who belongs to a "hyper-majority" is immune to insult makes no sense.  (And, we went from 20% of the population to a "hyper-majority in a single page?) [/quote]

I'm actually feeling quite tempered today! ;)

I'm curious, and I ask this in all good faith: if the flying spaghetti monster is off-limits, how about asking a "believer" to about the comparative existence of Jaweh versus Poseidon? Too disrespectful and insulting? Ganesh? Odin? Am I getting warmer? I'm honestly at a loss.

I won't touch your continued assertion that racial epithets directed at a minority are JUST AS BAD AS mild criticism directed at a religion that claims 70% of Americans as its adherents. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

(Is there anyone who likes being equated with racists? LOL...)[/quote]
