The Fool replied:
And Rain really does come from "doors" in the firmament, and there really
are storehouses for snow up there.  And giants, dragons, cocatrices, and
satyrs really exist!  And the Earth really IS flat, holding up the
firmament on pillars, and being held up by pillars, and has seven
corners.  And worldwide global flood did occur, in 40 days no less
(30.3FT /Hour).  And All the saints really were reserected and marched
through jerusalem despite the fact that no historian ever knew about it.
And insects really do only have four legs.  And some people really will
believe any bullshit thats in a 'sacred' book.

Way to address JDG's actual argument, The Fool. Nice to know that you would never resort to the strawman argument of using examples that the other person never used.
