sometimes act like assholes. Genuinely good people can be assholes from time to time - I view with suspicion someone who doesn't act like an asshole occasionally. Someone who's never an asshole is probably a sociopath.

And the topic of religion tends to bring out the asshole in many of us (myself included).
