Reply #65: It's really not that hard

[Ando]

I'm a Christian and I'm not offended by the comments made around here, but you can't tell me that you don't know that the words "myth" and "superstition" are loaded terms. The definition of superstition is "An irrational belief arising from ignorance or fear". More definitions for myth are "A fiction or half-truth, especially one that forms part of an ideology." and "A fictitious story, person, or thing". For a Christian, none of these definitions accurately describes our faith. You can make your case for these being accurate descriptions of Christianity, but I'll never agree with you. If you want to avoid arguments perhaps you should substitute "doctrine" for "myth" and "ritual" for "superstition". It would make for a more friendly discussion. I could just as easily refer to Atheism as a myth and its results as superstitions. I choose not to so as to avoid useless anger in what should be a thoughtful discussion.
