This is a perfect example of why we should always consider the specific issue, as opposed to latching onto general concepts. Religious writings’ sole purpose is to establish & promote a belief system, based on subjective values. Anti-discrimination laws’ sole purpose is to dissolve the practice of belief systems that objectively cause interpersonal harm. These are conceptual opposites in many ways. But if I generalize the concept “writing makes ideas immortal”, then I am able to conflate the two. |

You call it a "general concept", I saw it's a common understanding of reality. Hyperbole is used to poison further discussion.
eg I generalize the concept “writing makes ideas immortal”
Within your own post, there is misattributed hyperbole (sometimes called uncharitable discussion). Someone asked a question, I answered and all kinds of random assumptions were made about it. Good luck with whatever.
