You state vehemently Christ is a Myth. I couldn't agree more. Myth is unprovable Truth.

Yes, this one definitely deserves a Redefinition Project award. If the one already given cannot be withdrawn, let's give this post the "Fundie Word Redefinition Project, Honorary Mention" or something like that.
Wow, I wouldn't have thought that a Fundie Word Redefinition would be quite this blatant, but I guess I should have known better by now.
No, Myth is a "made up story", "folklore", "not founded on truth".
"You state vehemently Christ is a Myth."Indeed, I do.
"I couldn't agree more."
Good, that's much more than I expected from you.
"Myth is unprovable Truth."
No, that's "Myth is unprovable AS truth."
I've got God on line 1. Apparently, there's been a shortage of brains. God, being the omniscient being he is, knows you're not using yours so he'd like you to give it to him, so he can give it to someone that needs it more than you do.
A myth is an unprovable truth? Yay! That means Her Holiness Lilayeneh exists! *dims lights* :D :O :D :O :D :O :D :O
Indeed! Let us charge into battle with our brethren so that we may die glorious, epic deaths they shall laud us for in Valhalla for many generations to come!
What do you mean "That's not what I meant!"?
@Maronan: "...wait, are humans and deities the same species or not?" The Greek and Norse ones, at least, would be - according to some species concepts - since they can have fertile offspring with humanity. Others would say they're physically different enough to be distinct species. There are as many species concepts as there are biologists.
Myth is unprovable Truth? Truth would be provable. And truth would not be based in myth. Christ is based on the myths of Horus, Dionysius, Krishna, etc. And none of them are provable, which means they are not true. Hence, no truth. Moron.
So you admit that asserting a claim is enough for you, but it's not the standard of evidence and reliability that others usually expect. It is also harmful, because it will lead to awkward circumstances where you will say silly things and sometimes face reactions to that you may not find comfortable. When others roll their eyes or decide to suddenly be quiet instead of arguing, it's not because they're evil. Around me I know some people who suffer of social anxieties that are reinforced by this kind of stubborn indoctrination. They're in the Jehovah's Witnesses cult. Sometimes false beliefs also harm in other ways. Some reject medicine when they need it, or embrace harmful practices. Elitism can also encourage the abuse of others, deemed "less worthy".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
