From what I gather, "Lord of the Flies" refers to Beelzebub, who was called Lord of the Flies. I would rather he showed up than the Christian god.
I do not ask that you respect religion, but we need to respect the religious, because they are rational humans just like us atheists. I was rational when I was a Christian. I believed because of indoctrination, not lack of intelligence.
