People of one religion may also consider the beliefs of other religions as
'mythology' - although the
use of the term may be considered derogatory. Often it's simply a case of
'innocent' arrogance
though, rather than deliberate insult. Of course, athiests might consider *any*
religious idea
as 'mythology'. It's all a matter of relativity.
To get back to the subject though - anyone with dentures might want to use the
extra-strength
denture adhesive before attempting a pronounciation. :-)
