“Trouble arises when either science or religion claims universal jurisdiction, when either religious or scientific dogma claims to be infallible. Religious creationists and scientific materialists are equally dogmatic and insensitive. By their arrogance they bring both science and religion into disrepute. The media exaggerate their numbers and importance. The media rarely mention the fact that the great majority of religious people belong to moderate denominations that treat science with respect, or the fact that the great majority of scientists treat religion with respect so long as religion does not claim jurisdiction over scientific questions” -Freeman Dyson

Poor Mr Dyson fails to understand that there is neither 'moderate' salvation, nor 'moderate' Hell.

As Rush Limbaugh so often says, "there is no virtue in moderation."
