2-Your reasons for your bigotry are irrelevant as

Bigotry
1. Obstinately convinced of the superiority or correctness of one's own opinions and prejudiced against those who hold different opinions.
2. Expressing or characterized by prejudice and intolerance.

I may not have been clear, sorry. I have perfectly good reasons for hating ‘religion’. True I didn’t give you them, you may actually argue with them. But in my book bigotry means not having valid reasons for one’s view. Hating something doesn’t make me a bigot, if my reasons are valid.

I am not ‘obstinately convinced’. I have perfectly sound reasons for my hatred. They are much the same as laid out by Dawkins and Hitchens. If you want to argue them that’s fine.
If you can convince me that god exists or that religion is benign, then I will readily change my mind.

My morals are far superior to your religion’s morals. Debate it if you wish. I am not intolerant of gays. I don’t demand kowtowing and knee-bending to my presence. I don’t demand worship. I don’t demand than you eschew other gods. I don’t pretend to eat someone’s flesh and drink their blood.

You however have no verifiable evidence for your belief other than your ‘feelings’. Nothing I say to you will convince you that you are wrong. Not now, not ever.

By your own definition then you are a bigot.


I apologised for a false accusation, can you?

2-Your reasons for your bigotry are irrelevant as

So anything I hate, whether justified or not, is bigotry. Reasons are irrelevant?

So is it bigotry to hate stoning of adulterers? I have perfectly good reasons for hating muslim execution practices, but they are irrelevant? What piffle.
I assume you wrote this nonsense with reflex anger. I would be very interested to know if this was the case or not.

3- Your opinion of me matters even less than care about your "evidence" and I'll answer your question only because it was directed to me, not to pander to your ego. I do not believe religion or morality should be taught in public schools. It should be reserved for Churches and homes. Private schools can do what the parents pay them for.

That’s not what I asked. Let me re-phrase it for you. Do you believe that Christian dogma/doctrine should be taught to children under the age of 18.
The point being that they will be unable to make a valid assessment during their formative years for such dogma. Much of which is based on fear and repression.

Churches should teach morality, are you serious?
If you analyse the bible and list the things that god does most frequently then:-
top of the list - He kills people
Second on the list - He tells people to kill other people.
Appearing to the faithful and conjuring universes come way down the list.
This is your basis for morality? And you call me a bigot?
