He explained the teapot in a nutshell (...oh, ha!) on an NPR interview. I'll look it up and transcribe it very soon.

Well, we all know of those magic tricks involving smoke and mirrors and sophistry, don't we? Still, it's amazing how something imaginary (that is, unsubstantiated by scientific evidence) could be so powerful as to cause the massacre of millions and millions and millions of people over the course of millenia.
I'm also bemused as to how powerful and destructive these three 'cults' (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and, if you count Mormonism, makes four) have become considering that they essentially came from exactly the same source, and that the core principles, which are still being practiced today literally
unchanged and
unchallenged (frightening), began in the Bronze Age!
