Quote:Right, and that same argument is made by those with no understanding of how to interpret historical data about Pythagoras, and about Shakespeare. Pythagoras Mythicisim is in fact very similar to Jesus Mythicisim, so why not look it up.
But no one is telling us to live our lives according to Pythagoras' teachings or we won't get into fucking heaven, Danny. Likewise, and even more importantly, vicious gangs of Pythagoras' followers are not polluting the landscape trying to push their primitive beliefs into our schools and laws and collecting obscene amounts of money from gullible fools.
Religion is silly.... but it is dangerous. Pythagoras? Not so much.
