59. I don't believe you are bigoted.

But I believe you have internalized a form of religious bigotry.

And while you're berating others for saying you've used extreme words (like "all" or "none" ) when NO ONE HAS, you turn around and use them against those who disagree with you.

So, none of these people might be slimy enough to lie about their "calling" in order to do this. None? Absolutely none?

No one said that. Literally no one.
