Some here enjoy fencing with each other, that is not a problem as I see it. Apart from that, it is a very interesting topic, and has a bearing on so many things.

Lastly, I've seen religion being blamed for divisions and archaic beliefs. It is my humble opinion that religion is the simplest scapegoat. If there were no religion, greed, lust, envy, and all those bad things won't vanish. We will have wars, we will look towards a specific group as evil, and we will find something else to divide us.
