Beating around the bush doesn't get anyone anywhere in a serious discussion, especially when treatment of other humans based on a certain system of morality is involved.
I do think you do need patient deconstructionists to wade through superstitious yellow brick roads, I simply have no patience for it.
The fact is no currently believed God/god/deity, or religion was around at the beginning of our current sapient forum. Humans had other superstitions then and still managed to reproduce. If we manage as a species not to blow ourselves up or pollute ourselves into extinction, and if a meteor does not hit us, in another 50,000 years things will be different and these nuts seriously think their human concocted sky heros will be around then?
Gods are the invention of humans, nothing more. No well wishing or convoluted apology will make a fantasy real.
