What is truly pathetic, is that they see all the other religions in
much the same way we see theirs: people who believe something that is
only "real" inside the religion. So they invent things we don't say,
Heck, we're not even talking about the same thing.
They imagine we don't believe in something that is real, self-evident
etc.
When it's actually like believers in the fairies at the bottom of the
garden, thinking there's something wrong with those who don't.
They simply can't grasp that in the real world it remains "just
somebody else's religious belief" until they demonstrate otherwise.
Which they are incapable of doing.
