Members of both sides take to the boards and aggressively try to argue their case and won't hear of how they may have anything in common with their counterparts, and vehemently deny the possibility even exists. Fact is whether your beliefs are athiest, Christian, science/athiest, Muslim with an interest in gene-splicing, Islamic but you majored in genetic engineering, or whatever ---- if your faith in your belief is unshakeable and you are secure in your mindset and confident you are on the right path in life, that really should be good enough for you. Shouldn't it? It always amuses me how so many feel the driving need to convince others that their way is right and everyone else's beliefs are wrong. It really does smack of insecurity no matter who is doing it.

I'll say this much for the scientists and athiests, at least you don't come down my street in pairs twice a year knocking on my door trying to recruit me into your religion. I'm thankful for that because I'm running out of places in my yard to bury the bodies.
