This is an ad in the back of a Marvel Comics for a magic "levitate your friends" trick — oh wait, this is Respect All Religions Week. They've been setting such a good example of respecting each other for oh, 30,000 years. You'd think that if something was obviously true, you wouldn't have to kill people to get them to respect it, right? Nobody would burn the embassy of somebody who denounced the Theory of Gravitation or the Theory that the Sky is Blue. It's all these other assertions that require Faith (the nice word for arrant Pigheaded Prejudice).

"You know it's completely impossible for a virgin to give birth! You know it's impossible for a man to walk on water or turn it into wine! If you had never heard these stories before and some guy sitting next to you on the subway told you that he saw this stuff happen you'd fuckin' move your ass away from the loonie and go sit in another car."

— Tony Arena, Violin Outbreak #12 (quoted RFD #88 p23)
