If you can do that I ask you to consider what your religion would look like without the assumption of divinity. For example, the Greek gods. Few, if any, people still worship the Olympian gods, so it's "safe" to discuss them and their rather naughty habits. You would, however, get a few million people seriously upset if you question Mary's virginity.
For those of you who can make the leap, please keep in mind that your gods are equivalent to the Olympians in my mind. I'm not out to destroy your belief or turn your churches into brothels (even if it would be great idea), I just don't believe your god or gods are any more special than the panoply of discarded gods that came before and after yours.

Every religion that is not my own is a religion I look at from the outside. I imagine I probably wouldn't feel any differently about Catholicism as I do about Protestantism, Judaism, Buddhism, Hindu, etc etc if I was something other than Catholic. I don't feel a need to keep putting those people down, or calling them stupid, or mocking something that is so close to their hearts.
You do understand that they come here looking for us. We don't go looking for them. If you had a guest who walked into your house and started shitting on your carpet how long would it take you to get pissed at them?
They never bring evidence. They just bring the customary bullshit which they use to con themselves into believing in nonsense.
