I just feel that, if you're going to show a bit of respect and sensitivity for some beliefs, you have to show it for them all.

I quite agree that it would be good for all of them to be described as myths, but it is a fact that the BBC regard some religions as worthy of more respect than others. That's hypocrisy and morally bankrupt.

And trying to argue that just because lots of other people talk about "creation myths" makes it ok for the BBC to do so is a logical fallacy; argumentum ad numeram.

Sorry eds, you fail on two counts.
