Now now, how could an invisible pink elephant be depicted in Mirth? In fact, how do you know it is pink?
Seriously - if anyone feels belittled then please argue away. I'm not an atheist much as it may seem, but part of my own beliefs is that all are equal (where harm is not done to others, so I wouldn't support you were you to admit to being a believer in Combat 18 say) as belief is intensely personal; that there is no Truth owned by any religion; that souls should not be 'claimed' as belonging to any one faith in acts of religious imperialism; and finally, that all debate is rigorous and open. That might even include questioning the beliefs of Tolkien. So stone me for it if you must.
