How do you deal with a religious family?

[Aractus]

So, your argument is that people make up facts which are then put in the bible - I've no issue with that statement, since it amounts to the same thing.

No, you're either deliberately misinterpreting what I just said, or you're drawing a straw man. There are plenty of facts in the Bible, both in the OT and the NT. The OT has a lot more mythology which pre-dates it.

The NT on the other hand does not. It concerns itself with contemporary and recent events only. So the facts could be wrong if the authors got their facts wrong, but there's not much benefit in it for them to lie or to make stuff up themselves. If they had then the four gospels would have to agree on hardly anything, whereas they almost never contain any actual contradictions. One of the only contradictions they do contain is over who bough the "field of blood", yet it's still linked to the same event - it's hard to argue that one of the writers made it up.

So I ask again - how is any of it relevant to the question of minority rights?

Because if they're recognised then they can achieve things, whereas if they are oppressed and not recognised it makes it more difficult.
