It's more the worship of modern orthodoxy than the worship of individual's or globularism's pythagorean roots.
Like other zealots, they become enraged at any difference of doctrine. The idea that someone's thoughts or views do not agree with theirs results in an apoplectic fit.
Please, inform me of a time I've become enraged at a difference of doctrine. My arguments have been level-headed and logical, and more often than not met with a simple 'incorrect' or 'you're stupid' with no attempt to provide a counter-argument.
.... Okay, mostly from Scepti and Bogous.
I've never felt a desire to visit an astrology website and argue with the people there, nevermind being upset by them. Live and let live.
Except astrological people don't say there are scientific reasons why their beliefs hold true. They are clearly and absolutely outside science and reason (not to belittle such beliefs, but to say that they believe it not for science but for belief's sake).
Flat Earth, on the other hand, claims science, reason, and observation support their beliefs.
If someone wants to believe in the Four Basic Elements, that's fine by me, and they can do that until the cows come home for all I care. But when they start claiming that elemental chemistry is a farse, and that the Four Basic Elements is scientifically valid, they have entered an entirely different ring.
And for the record, I came here to see how much logic and reason FE could ignore or explain away with magic.
