The resemblance is quite remarkable.
I can relate to your experience. Whenever I post over in C&V questioning any religious dogma expressed, I am quickly scolded to go back to General as my opinions and proselytizing are not wanted, as the their saying goes, never destroy a good story with facts.
The problem you are experiencing is that General is a place where facts and reality matter, not dated beliefs and myths told while repairing a tubular on the side of a road 50 years ago.
