Saying you believe god to be a fantasy or a fiction is not showing contempt for god.
It's just that you snowflakes can't take it when someone makes explicit their opposing view of your belief.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

But more directly, there's an endlessly growing list of fictional characters I find offensive, dangerous, contemptible, and even poorly imagined, yet I don't believe any of them exist.

But I have been going back through this discussion, and I cannot escape the fact that I was, indeed, "telling you what you were thinking/arguing," and NOT limiting myself to implications. It is a dynamic I dislike when it is done to me - so it would be less than honest of me not to acknowledge that I did it to you.
I apologize, CP.
