re: #385 Sergey Romanov

Yep, I do have a problem with the stance that some religious supernaturalistic or pseudohistorical claims are acceptable while others are obvious bunk that make someone believing them a dupe and an idiot. Smart people do believe in weird things, regardless of religion.

I would argue smart people don’t believe in an intergalactic coup d’etat millions of years ago in which the warrior Xenu entombed frozen souls in Earthly volcanos only to be released into neanderthal men. Um… no.

OTOH, much of the Torah has been proven through biblical archeology as to the men and women who actually lived in Israel 1000s of years ago.
