of the most intolerant religionists that it INTENDS to offend.

It's just as grounded in reality as any other religion - give it a couple hundred years and see what happens.

Praise the FSM and pass the sauce!

...that all religions are a sham.

The only real difference is that some have a more privileged place in society.

I wonder what "evidence" and "facts" are required to determine the veracity of a religion.

And so, an outside organization can claim a church/religion is not what its members claim it to be?

All-righty then, goose meet gander...
