Pippy, they are fairy tales though. Until the god-claimers can prove their monsters and superheroes, let's be honest and call it what it is. That's not an insult either. If one gets some good concepts or morals from a book of Aesop's Fables, good for them, but it doesn't make the stories non-fiction. They are still fairy tales. They are not divine and special and holy. They are not some sort of capital-T Truth.
Society still has the assumption/expectation that religious beliefs deserve some sort of higher respect than any other unproven illogical stories of imaginative brains.
If I were to run around warning people about those Parkinglot Paving Pixies that my Fragrant Flowerpot Fairies told me telepathically about, I would hope no one would be so droolingly accepting of it that they would avoid giving it the mocking and debunking it deserves.

I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
