I was chatting to a God-botherer once...
I mentioned that a friend had a wife that was a "witch" (aka Bored Housewife Syndrome). He asked if she prayed to the mythical Gods.
I said her Gods were actually around before Christianity.
His reply?
"They couldn't have been. Mine created the Earth."

Hardly worth argusing against someone like that, is it!

I don't think his problem was that he was a Believer
merely that he had the intellect of a particularly dull potato.

You make it sound like these problems are mutually exclusive
or not intrinsically, fundamentally linked

*awaits holy smiting*

I think you've hit the nail on the cross, err I mean head.

You seem to be declaring the existence of your friend's pagan gods,
thus rendering yourself every bit as daft as the god-botherer you sought to mock.

Not at all
"her Gods were actually around before Christianity." doesn't mean the Gods actually existed, just that references to them did.

Not a complex idea to grasp.

Simple to grasp,
yet too complex for you to express, it would seem.

Sorry
I'll use shorter words and express myself clearer for the hard of thinking.
