I find this entire squabble absolutely fascinating.

One ideology asserts literal submission by all to the word and will of the ether. One ideology asserts the group ought to be given precedence over individuals. What makes this the most interesting is the sincerity each side has in their belief.

Fireworks like these are rare to watch: the fresh impact of two fundamentally incompatible philosophies who have not collided so sharply and so openly in some time.
