    @mouviciel: As with all religious debates about 40% agree with you. Another 40% think your idea is silly, and 20% don't care. And 100% of people think it is foolish to try and convince the other 40% of their foolishness because they will not be swayed by your arguments and have just as valid counter arguments. Pick a side ignore the other side and get on with your life. To think your side is better is human nature I suppose but short sighted nevertheless. Commented Dec 16, 2011 at 14:42
