Especially the suspicion that it's a question of maturity (or lack thereof) and that there are sooo many at DU who expect others to agree with them on EVERYTHING, and if they don't....well....it's a black & white world for them. Very common with what you see on the Trotskyist left. DU, I am afraid, is infiltrated with some of these people and the whole point is to make it a fractious place. Of course, it doesn't take long before an issue comes along that breaks them up into splinters and because of this, there are hundreds of tiny Trotskyist groups (all who hate each other) rather than one, two, three larger groups. They are all angry and searching for something that NOTHING will ever give them.

Anyway, the way it is all displayed when matters of faith come into play was very well-said in your post. Thanks for saying it so well!
