Religion
In reply to the discussion: A young man is skinned alive. A sign of new Taliban brutality? [View all]rug
(82,333 posts)Terrorists blowing people up?
Pedophiles abusing children?
Is this what you consider to be the essence of religion?
While religion may be a factor in any of these, the discussion does not stop there.
Bigots, however, always remain there because in their view nothing good comes from religion and religion is the source of all evil.
If you don't like being corrected on that and if it pisses you off, have the honesty to admit it pisses you off and try not to invoke imagined hordes.
As to insulting DUers by calling them bigots, do a word count on how many times DUers who express religious belief are called misogynists, homophobes, apologists, enablers, deluded, etc. whenever your groupthink is questioned. Then get off your self-righteous high horse.
I told you once already not to put words in my mouth. Have the integrity to own your own words.
And discomfort is your word. My word is discomfit.
If you want more of my words I'm happy to oblige.
