You are definitely not a zealot.
I sometimes get the impression you'd like to be one, though.
As for me, don't feel threatened about anything I say, I only have questions, not answers. It's the guys with all the answers you have to worry about.
What we see around us is a chess game, except we don't know the rules, and we can't see the players. We've been staring at it long enough that we recognize some of the moves, but we can't tell who's winning, or what the object of the game is. And we certainly don't know whether or not there's a prize if you win.
