The other problem I have with Tomes' idea of "blasphemy" is that the ones he cites initially, the Jews, thought it "blasphemy" to treat Jesus as equivalent to God. Tomes notes that this is a "breach" in monotheism, but glosses over it. Not to mention the Trinity! Even worse!

So if Tomes wants to use them as his source of "blasphemy", then he's painting himself with the same brush.

Let's think of the unbelievers, here. How are any of them being helped by this conversation? I don't really get it.
