    It’s more metaphorical than literal. But I wouldn’t expect religious types to understand that.

      I’m as atheist as it gets. I’m just not into hating on others because they believe differently or have different opinions or think others should live by my rules and codes.

        If one intends to make a point, a strawman is probably not the best start.

        God has nothing to do with it.

          I intended to make a joke, which I hoped would be evident from the triple exclamation marks. You calling it an attempt at a strawman and rejecting the joke on that basis is probably the closest to a strawman of the two.
