Why do religious people think *their* pet oral traditions, stories and myths should be accepted and yet they will dismiss out of hand someone else's oral traditions and myths?
Joseph Smith got some magic golden plate from an angel and read them in a hat with magic stones? Why, that's just silly.
Mohamed rode a horse-thingy back and forth to Jerusalem in a night? Fuckin' A he did.
If we are going to loosen standards of evidence for one, why not all?
Pagans (Homer anyone?), Mormons, Catholics (tons of "traditions" there, OMG), Pastafarians - all welcome at the woo table!
In my pastafarian tradition, it is said, in Heaven, thine first stripper shall be a brunette, about 5'5" with gorgeous tits. And she won't expect a tip! It is Heaven after all. And thine first beer shall be a Porter. Never ending in the glass it shall be.
