I don't think Amos meant to offend with the "12 year-old" analogy. I just thought he was condescending. Try as I might, I can't get any other read on it. I think it was a case of Amos being totally transparent. A slip if you will. I don't think you can read his post without concluding that the parallel, "believer=imature", was intentional. At least I can't. I'm not that offended by it, but then, when in Rome you are bound to, you know, find some REALLY good pasta. Even more if you visit further north in Italy.
