Except the Star Wars fans haven't been burning furries at the stake for hundreds of years.
I can’t recall anyone being burned at the stake over religious reasons recently. Maybe you can point me to an an instance where it happened again since the early 1700’s?
It's more metaphorical than literal. But I wouldn't expect religious types to understand that.
Hey, don't impose on other people's god given right to take things literally!!!
If one intends to make a point, a strawman is probably not the best start.
God has nothing to do with it.
I intended to make a joke, which I hoped would be evident from the triple exclamation marks. You calling it an attempt at a strawman and rejecting the joke on that basis is probably the closest to a strawman of the two.
