I am completely with you on this, Amos--two wrongs don't make a right--they make a fight.

Bottom line is, you've all got chips on your shoulder, and you're all just daring the other guy to knock it off. When they won't you escalate the level of provocation--to be blunt, you're not being good Christians, not being good Scientists, you are being assholes.
