[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 162899, member: 221"] [B][/b] If a persons faith is rooted in a believe that their scriptures (and religion ) are directly from God than attacking those scriptures as myth is attacking the merits of the religion. If I was to start a thread concerning where I thought Joseph Smith obtained ideas for the Book of Mormon than I would be inviting attacks from Mormons (I am not starting such a thread just postulating). The position advocated by the author of the essay is a religious position as much as an intellectual position and is in fact a position that many Christians do not agree with. The arguement of whether the books of Genesis through Malachi are authentic or fabrications pasted together by late authors is a heated religious debate with profound implications into a persons view of the Christian religion. Well you responded oh figment of my imagination ;) That makes such good sense. By this rule I could post a thread about the myths of evolution and if you thought evolution was true you would not be allowed to post. Right? Or would it not work both ways. :) And I am sorry if posting my opinion (i.e. that it is a bit rude to publically call a person's faith a myth) was offensive to you. I will try to be more tactful in the future ;) [/QUOTE]
