Take your ad hominem attacks elsewhere. They do nothing but make you look like a schmuck.
> My objection to bona fide religious persecution you attempt to extend to the content of private conversations.
Well, now, that's a flat-out lie. Discussion, debate and even mockery are not "persecution." Only do the paranoid see it thus.
> just lay out the reasoning behind your statement that calling someone's religious beliefs "mythology" is not insulting
Because it's not. It's a simple statement of fact.
> 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.
Oh My God. You *actually* believe that, don't you.
That's just so very, very sad.
"Take your ad hominem attacks elsewhere."
Another one who can dish it out but not take it.
"Well, now, that's a flat-out lie. Discussion, debate and even mockery are not "persecution." Only do the paranoid see it thus."
Ah, the old dishonest tactic of referring to a differing opinion as a lie. And on top of that, the false implication that I have asserted that discussion and debate are persecution. Pathetic.
There's no point in even referring you to the discussion above of how mockery can rise to the level of persecution. Your mind is closed.
"Because it's not. It's a simple statement of fact."
Oh, yeah, that's a compelling argument. That's not a statement of fact, it's an expression of willful blindness, of closed-minded bigotry.
"You *actually* believe that, don't you."
Me and hundreds of millions of other people, yes.
"That's just so very, very sad."
Whereas your refusal to accord people of belief the same consideration you demand for yourself is just disgusting.
