I disagree. All I've done is calmly express my ideas in the most 
rational way I know how.

I think it's a cultural problem.

I think it is possible and necessary to change people's minds. It will

(I guess the scientists fighting religion overcame the same kind of 
problem).

Humans are tricky, and prone to violence and group-think.
