    No. I'm saying scientists are no less prone to killing their fellow human
    beings than any other group, and will rightfully join others who kill to
    preserve their freedom to pursue their scientific world view.

    The quote from Dawkins expressed a holier-than-thou attitude typical of
    know-it-all scientists. That's what got me riled.
