Doin' the Victory Dance! At least you are trying to be clever. That is worth something.
From my side of the Internet, this is what your victory dances look like:
Your tagline: "As long as people believe in absurdities, they will continue to commit atrocities."
None of the dogmatists in this thread have responded to my agruments. Therefore, I will press the point home. I wanted to avoid that. I was hoping that we could agree that it is more important to understand that reality and truth are objective, rather than subjective as the hard Left and radical Muslims believe.
It is with deep regret that I must now tell the children there is no tooth fairy. Furthermore, it is harmful to do so, especially if one believes that others must lose all their teeth if they don't believe.

A couple of years ago, some Conservative Jews from the U. S. went to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem to practice a ritual as a part of an annual observance. This particular sect allows men and women to participate in ritual together including women reading from Torah. Orthodox Judaism does not permit this. Some young Orthodox men decided to express their disapproval by viciously heckling their co-religionists while ritual was in progress. Not satisfied with that, they went further and began pelting the gathered men, women and children with plastic bottles. Some of these still had water in them and served as missiles, causing some minor injuries. The fact that there were infants in strollers present did not deter these men.
What makes this sort of behavior particularly outrageous is that it is done with a sense of righteousness; punishing those who practice their own religion, but merely in a different way, is done so with the notion that there is a Divine endorsement. I submit that, when a person or group purports the will of the finite to be the will of the infinite, this is blasphemy. Yahweh was not cheering these men on as they were flinging missiles in the direction of little babies. Similarly, it is doubtful that Allah approved when, confronted with a taboo against killing virgins, the Iranian Shi’a of the newly-formed Islamic Republic solved the problem of the proper way to kill female Bahai infidels by making sure to rape them first..."
