Ideally, scientists should take offense looking at the illogical beliefs and superstitions, which shit on the years of work they put in, to to get an understanding of how things work, to make lives better and to save lives.
Similarly, shouldn't it be the rationalists who feel offended at the ridiculousness of these beliefs and superstitions?
But, instead the people who are conditioned not to question these beliefs, take offense when ridiculousness is pointed out!
