Richard Dawkins's lack of sympathy for those who cling to religion is a shame

55. No, the bigotry is about the broad brushing.

Hating people for their beliefs, that is what bigotry is about. You can hate the beliefs as much as you like, but hating the individuals, calling them names, smearing them, poking fun at them, attacking their family members, is pure bigotry.

I do not defend religious privilege. I defend individuals who are bullied by assholes, just because of their personal beliefs.
Not all anti-theists do that and not all atheists are anti-theists. But we have a crew of them who post here and their only motive is to bait believers and tolerant non-believers. They have no interest in discussion or debate. They are here to disrupt, period.
They are intolerant jerks. I suspect some may even be RW fundies just here to stir up shit.

After reading a few of your posts in this thread, it appears you may support these bigots. At least I haven't seen you making personal attacks on fellow DUers and their families, but I've only read a couple of your posts, which was quite enough.
I don't recall having any interaction with you in the past and I doubt there will be any in the future.

Consider this response a courtesy on my part. Bye now!
