| A Christian tells you: Man exists on this planet because God created HimAn atheist tells you: Man exists on this
planet through the natural force of evolutionA Scientologist tells you: Man exists on this planet because the
galactic overlord Xenu brought him here 85 million years ago.Can you acknowledge that these three positions are
contradictory? Can you accept that truth is exclusive? I'm baffled that you presume anger on my part when there is
none. (I'd emphasize that more strongly, but what would be the point? You seem quite willing to see whatever
attitude you expect regardless of how measured my words are.) Regardless of "attitude" here, the issue remains that
multiple answers are not possible. It is as simple as if a Christian asserts "2+2=4" and an atheist asserts "2+2=3"
while a Muslim asserts "2+2=5." Those contrary positions (while wrong) are far more understandable than what yours
appears to be. They at least proclaim *some* position with conviction and recognize that we can't all be right.
Your position seems to be "believe whatever you want as long as it makes you happy and a productive member of
society. 2+2 equals whatever you want it to." Which is absurd, and exactly the sort of attitude that gets people
into something like Scientology (or Mormonism) in the first place. Rather than respond the patently obvious problem
that mankind cannot *actually have* more than ONE real origin (regardless of the SECONDARY discussion of how we
determine which is the correct one) you seem content to assail an imagined anger you think I have and then imply I
am a bigot for not valuing a theory that says “the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is god and created us”
