Save it for the Christians and Muslims.
You did miss the point though. FSM or a notion of sanity isn't relevant. I could just as easily pick something that people believe that's clearly ridiculous. Like Xenu or a plethora of forgotten shamanistic gods and superstitions or anything. My point was in illustrating what anecdote really is and its worthlessness in the scope of objectivity
This subject never gets anywhere, because it's doesn't come down to fact or proof, it comes down to the strongest or most passionate argument. I'm running out of steam, if I'm honest. I'm not expecting to change anyone's opinion, nor do I expect anyone to change mine. So what's the point?
It does get places sometimes. Only a few decades have shown people throw off superstitions by enormous margins because of discussions like this.
