Or the people who act like Islam is some kind of pagan religion.

You know what really bugs me? It’s the people who act like the Christian “narrative” (how I hate that word!) was adapted entirely from Greek mythology and Mediterranean folklore. They act as if Easter is some sort of derivative of the pagan celebrations of the Spring equinox, and they go on to claim a lot of nonsense about ancient folkloric traditions about gods — born to virgin mothers — who later died and then came back to life after a while. There is simply no way that early people whose very survival depended on noticing patterns of freezing, thawing, fertility, birth, and death could ever have invented an elaborate system enforcing those ideas. Tide comes in, tide goes out.
