Wasn't that because he had a dash of non-Vulcan blood in his veins?

There's no point trying to share this planet with seven billion other flawed humans if you can't accept that we all have different perspectives on things. And it would be arrogant in the extreme to assume that, somehow, your perspective is superior to theirs. There is a point, which I think can be objectively pointed to, when a perspective, applied by force to other people, becomes malevolent. I regard telling children that there is a supernatural deity in whom they must believe under pain of punishment is a blatant overstepping of that mark. Religions, look to yourselves.
