Really? You think it's constructive to allow a child's fairy tale to become the overriding factor in people's lives? You think it's constructive to allow these fairytales to be given the same respect as another point of view which has infinitely more evidence to support it?
I don't think it's 'constructive' in the slightest, all it does is show that we give respect to stupidity. I'd much rather see everyone make a mockery of religion, because that's exactly what it is.
