If you really believe that most cultures would accept this you must be an atheist. Coming out with a story like this would hit the radical religious fanatics hard. In fact more than just what we stereotype as a religious fanatic. I think every religion based around christianity or nearly any other religion would outright deny these kinds of claims. It would threaten what they actually believe in entirely. This would/could create chaos very easily in a very quick way. Threatening someones belief system especially those raised with those beliefs is like asking for the death sentence in texas. |
