There's a lot of truth to what Alice says, I think.   And so the 
question arises, is this kind  of attack blameworthy?  Yes, I think so. 
Belittling the beliefs of others just to make a name for yourself is mean.

But it's his shtick and it serves him well.  It's a jungle out here on 
the Internet.
