      _more offensive than the fact he's an atheist_
      That's funny. It really is. But "more offensive"? Doesn't that seem weird to you?
      Try the substitution test. "Colbert finds it more offensive than the fact that he's a Jew." How does _that_ sound? :)
      I just think it's funny. You could be an atheist yourself for all I know. But why in the world are so many people fine with others who don't believe in their god _except_ when it comes to those of us who don't believe in _any_ gods?
      Again, doesn't that seem weird?

      Bill Garthright Excellent point, sadly that's the world we live in. Maybe because as Stephen points out, you can just dismiss other religions away as cults when you also believe, maybe because they see it as a direct threat to their own beliefs and their own sense of worth or maybe that most of the world still incorrectly believes that without religion there is no basis for morality.

      I think Colbert misunderstands what it means to not like fantasy. At least, for some people, (well, OK, me), it's not that for us, everything "has to be real", but it's just not very interesting when reality gets suspended, because when everything becomes possible, nothing is a surprise.
      As an example, plot twists are meaningless when they're achieved by fudging what's possible. To me, it's a bit like inheriting too much money and going shopping: it's no fun anymore when you can just say "I'll have everything in the shop"

      @@Gottenhimfella I guess it does take a bigger step to suspend your disbelief enough to be invested in the fate of Hobbits and Dwarves and Elves. Before I read Lord of the Rings, I was very sceptical about it - all the goofy sounding names and places... how could anybody ever care about Aragorn, descendant of Isildur, wielding the sword Andruil to defend Minas Tirith? It sounds bonkers, I do recognize that.
      But then Tolkien came along and somehow sucked me in. Because yeah, it's all made up, but with so much love and effort and detail that you can FEEL this universe living and breathing beneath the pages. And before I even realized, all the ridiculous names meant something to me and felt honestly more like history than the word salad they look like.
      And obviously, a fictional universe also has rules that you can't just break for a random plot twist (unless it's just a bad story, that happens in every genre). It needs to be consistent and believable, and that's a lot harder than it looks.

    For anyone who's interested, no, the majority of Icelandic people do not actually believe in elves. We do avoid "disturbing" places that in olden days would have been considered an elf habitat, but it is mostly just out of tradition because Iceland is very focused on preserving its history and culture. The idea that all Icelanders believe in elves is just something we tell tourists.

    The icelandic law thing is not because they actually believe in elves, but because nearly all the fairy tales and legends are tied to certain places in the landscape. Any human that narrowly escapes a giant wanting to eat him or a servant completing magical chores or whatever - you can GO where the story takes place. So it´s more about preserving artifacts of folklore rather than actual believe in hidden folk living in rocks.

      When I visited Iceland in 1984 I was guest in the home of an Icelandic native family. They had a painting prominently displayed of a giant Jackie Kennedy peering through the window of a home. I asked, "What is that?" They informed me it was a troll. The artist had an unfavorable opinion of Jackie K and so made her a troll. The families I met were most convincing that they believed in the existence of trolls. And not just Iceland, but all of Scandinavia.
      It's no accident Norway made the tongue-in-cheek Trollhunter.

    This is how you should be about religion, although you may be an atheist (like myself) just smile and respect their opinion and get along like these two do even though they clearly have polar opposite beliefs. No point starting a war over it cause like Ricky said, it gets us nowhere
