We're merely talking about the characters and ideas. It's no different than talking about any other piece of literature. Miss Havisham was a horrible person, for example, but talking about her in that way doesn't mean we think she actually exists. It's just easier to cut to the chase than to put "BTW, I don't believe any of the things we're talking about actually exist outside of fiction" in every post.
I hate god the character. I hate what real people do in its name. But, I don't think it actually exists outside of the bible.
You're giving Randy too much credit. I don't think he understands much of anything.
