No but your woo policing gets extreme, IMO. Sometimes I really do picture you driving Ecto 1 from Ghostbusters, lights flashing and sirens blaring, rushing to chastise a couple of 5-year olds who are arguing about Superman vs. Darth Vader.
"Extreme"? Hardly. "Extreme" is when laws are written to stop people from expressing dissent. "Extreme" is when you get violent because someone offended you.
Yes I do go after all forms of woo. So? You can call me "extreme" when I start demanding people's arrest or get violent merely because they say things I don't like.
Sorry, but people argue over sky heros, they are not arguing from a position of evidence, they are merely protecting their own ego's and desires. YES fighting over Allah vs Jesus IS exactly like a Star Trec fan fighting with a Star Wars fan. The only difference is the si fi fans haven't created a religion to a political level nor do they settle their differences with weapons.
The fantastic claims in holy books juxtaposed to a comic book are BOTH based on suspension of disbelief. Both are appealing to the reader, but only one is believed to be factual. Religion at is core is a ignorant attempt to fill gaps to make up answers as to good vs evil.
If you can accept Superman vs Lex Luther as fictional, then you can accept God vs Satan as fictional. Calling something a religion, merely means humans want it to be more than fiction.
Now, I do agree my putting it like that IS blunt and offensive to those of faith. But that has nothing to do with force of law, but cold water or a mirror to the logic they use.
