So what is the cause? Tongue

And if it was 'human nature', then I (being human), would also be subject to it. Yet I'm not. I don't wonder why, but maybe you do Smile

However, their church property and income should be taxed and they should be told to STFU about political issues.

Yeah. In fact, how DO we objectively ______________________?


tell the difference between a fiction story with fictional non-human characters (perhaps superior to humans) and someone writing a "scripture"? We don't want to ban "Star Wars" and _Lord of the Rings_ along with the Bible, Koran, and Book of Ubizmo. (Google it)

The better question is bold. How do we objectively _______________________?

There is no difference between 'scripture' and 'fiction'. Doesn't mean we can't lean from either of course (subjectively, as always) Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
