South park becomes extremely vapid once you're over 28 years old.
You can't just always pick the middle of two sides of an argument and assume you're always right.
So much this.
The problem with the BoTh SiDeS crowd is that they have opted out of thinking and believe that by blaming both sides they've found a cheat code that allows them to always be right. Real life is not so simple that there's a one size fits all solution to everything.
This is actually why RESPECTABLE religious groups have theologists that study the bible and why the Vatican has a pope to say which passages are relevant for the modern day.
(One of the Pope's last rulings for example was that while the Catholic Church still believes in strict gender roles, it's not cool with transphobia, citing legitimate medical need for transition)
There are no shortcuts, you must engage with all information you receive.
You can't just say "Compromise?" in an argument between a fire fighter and an arsonist.
