`      That's another relevant empirical question: if there really are millions of people who would be horribly offended by ``Christian mythology``, then perhaps it's justifiable to avoid the term even if it's otherwise a good term.  But if it's just a few oversensitive ninnies, and most reasonable people can come to accept the non-pejoritive use of the term if it's explained, then I see no reason to avoid it.  I rather like ``Scientific mythology`` personally, and wish it were restored.  LDC    `
