Now don't go making blanket statements like that. You said "as aggressive as bodybuilders", which is a typical stereotype. Bodybuilders aren't aggressive any more than any other athletes are. This misconception came about because bodybuilders look different, and stick out, therefore people remember them more than say, a swimmer.
If a guy is rude to you, and happens to be a sprinter, you say "that guy's an asshole." If he is big, you say "that bodybuilder's an asshole." See what I mean. We look different, the root of all prejudice and misconception.
The same would definitely apply to religion I guess. Muslims seem to be getting a lot of bad attention, and they happen to look different a lot of the time.
Now back to the God Machine, lol.
