What else would you call religious doctrine except fairytales.
I like to the think that the English language is majestic in its variety.
It is indeed but that doesn't answer the question. The Merriam-Webster thesaurus offers the alternative "lies".
Edit: I could see "fantasies", but that's not going to be recieved any better.
I think you could probably call religious doctrine "religious doctrine."
Your problem isn't the words though, its the analysis of the phenomenon. You're irritated that other people see things differently than you.
Actually I'm mostly just amused by their assumption that I'm going to pretend their unfounded beliefs are real for the sake of excusing them from defending something indefensible that they willingly opted to buy into. I don't get irritated until they start to demand such pretense by way of threats. Up until that point I'm trying to withhold a chuckle and failing to hide a grin.
Edit: Oh and I'm also irritated by people using fairy tales to justify hurting people who haven't hurt anyone else. Which is huge-popular in most of the places I've lived.

Why would this not be the case? What's so hard about believing a disenfranchised Catholic who smokes a lot of pot is more likely to chuckle than get angry at people for believing silly things?
edit: I mean apart from how it neatly kneecaps your high-horse.
edit 2: Or are you simply forgetting that south/central Ohio isn't the east coast?
I dunno... it just won't be Terminator without Arnold.
Also, if this takes place shortly after T3 (which seems the case, given that Connor is just starting to organise the resistance) then it makes no sense for the terminators to jump from bulky machines on tracks to human-like models in one sudden giant leap.
Some people didn't buy into it so much as they were indoctrinated into it.
So was I. But I eventually discovered that I was indoctrinated into nonsense and abandoned it as useless.
I'm pretty sure most people who are indoctrinated completely, not just with the superficial rites, don't leave because they've never had anything happen to them that shake their beliefs or don't really believe but get something else out of the whole church experience.

Still fighting the war on bad taste I see.

mtvcdm is either having a nerdgasm or crying bitter tears over this. I think I'll go do the latter.

I've seen chunks of S1 and 2 on tv, and read the recaps for the ones i missed. just watched the first 4 eps tonight.
So you saw the Wendigo one?
That one was the one that got me hooked to the show, and also a bit scared of going camping in the middle of no where.

It was kinda scary.

And I use the word "dancing" very, very loosely.

The show is my guilty pleasure. :P
So many episodes I can go on about but not sure if you saw them or not.
