"I'll have to remember that."

Won't do you any good. As your following remarks show, you lack the intellectual honesty to understand the ramifications correctly.

"You'll have to remember that, too, and never *ever* use the word again."

This is the tactic of restating the opponent's position as an irrational extreme. My objection to bona fide religious persecution you attempt to extend to the content of private conversations. So crooked you can't lie in bed straught.

"There is nothing today that most consider "mythology" that someone, somewhere doesn't believe in.

Road apples.

"However, to the thinking and knowledgable man"

How would you know? You've demonstrated that you can't think, and what you know of theology and philosophy could be written on the surface of a boson in grease pencil.

"Thinking Christians acknowledge this."

My Church holds that the 7-day creationists are mistaken; it does not, however, endorse such uncharitable behavior as calling it "mythology" solely for the sake of antagonizing them. That would be religious persecution.

"Not because such reasoning doesn't exist... it's just that you are unable to figure it out."

I probably had it figured out -- and had the flaws figured out -- when you were in diapers.

But if you want to embarrass yourself further, just lay out the reasoning behind your statement that calling someone's religious beliefs "mythology" is not insulting, and I will explain why you are wrong. Again.

Take your ad hominem attacks elsewhere. They do nothing but make you look like a schmuck.

Well, now, that's a flat-out lie. Discussion, debate and even mockery are not "persecution." Only do the paranoid see it thus.

Because it's not. It's a simple statement of fact.

Oh My God. You *actually* believe that, don't you.

That's just so very, very sad.
