I willingly concede that some clerics say hateful things and encourage terrorism. I believe in "hate speech laws" and and pleased to see violators in jail.

I willingly concede that most scientists don't preach at all, much less preach violence and most scientists who do preach, do so at the risk of their scientific credibility. Preaching is not the purpose of science.

I don't see clerics committing violent crimes.

I believe that a very small minority of clerics urge people to violence and I do not believe that all of religion can be blamed for that.

Likewise I believe that scientists are sometimes partly culpable for death and terror when their inventions and discoveries are misused. I did not come to this conclusion on my own. Alfred Nobel's guilt over his culpability is the reason for the Nobel prizes.

My position is that Science and religion are both useful, both generally a public good, that are sometimes misused.

OK?
