Ah yes, those stupid enough to believe in religion are also the ones who
are terrified of and attack anything they don't understand. Just because
*you* don't have the intelligence to understand what GM is and isn't,
doesn't meant that those producing the GM items don't fully understand
it, nor does it mean that more than a small subset of the population
doesn't understand it. While you were busy studying your fantasy "holy
book(s)", the rest of us were busy learning how the world actually
works.
