The difference is you come into a story that does not align with your world view and you feel compelled to say so which benefits no one, except maybe you are looking for company in your place of misery. If as you say you are happy for those of us that do believe it, what is the point in you chiming in and worse, doing it in an insulting manner? "So-called," and the comment about people always claiming to have been heroes. By the way, while I have no doubt that in some past life a soul like Joseph's may have been a hero, this was not a memoir. It's a fiction tale that displays the general beliefs of the author.

And drop the free speech BS. Free speech is a concept of what the govt can and cannot regulate regarding speech. Free speech does not give you the ethical or moral right to be a jerk to other people and my pointing out your failings is not me being a jerk but if you think so, so be it.
