People who argue that their beliefs are true have the burden of proof. This is a very important concept in making arguments, known as Russell's teapot.

Russell's teapot states that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making scientifically unfalsifiable claims rather than shifting the burden of proof to others.

People who argue that Evolution is not science, but dogma -- then should also accept that we should teach Flying Spaghetti Monsterism in schools.

From the founder of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster )

I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; One third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism (Pastafarianism), and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence.

if the words "deviant sodomites" were used to replace "Jesufucks" in the post above, how many more posts of outrage would follow?

That's because "deviant sodomites" haven't been burning people at stakes, torturing them with Judas Cradles, and outright slaughtering non-sodomites the way Christians have been for the past 1700 years. Of course, now that it's Islams turn at bat, perhaps you can see why people are more apprehensive of religion than gay sex.

The rule is "don't pick on the weak". You can do whatever you want to the strong. For example, Apoc could have replaced the word "Jesufucks" with "senatorfucks", "lawyerfucks", "bankerfucks" and "realtorfucks" and no one would complain. However, it would be wrong to use the terms "jewfucks", "negrofucks", and "crackbabyfucks" because these groups have more than paid their fair share of suffering in history. Now if Christians were being thrown to the lions like they were before they acquired power over every Western nation, I could see your point.

The bottom line is that if you run everything, you have to take some potshots from time to time. So, if Christians don't want to be ridiculed for their behavior, all they have to do is give up all the power they have. Fair deal.
