Sometimes honesty is stupidity. If you want to make a point and become a martyr fair enough, that's a choice. But you need to be cunning to survive.
I knew a Christian who judged two young people under his employment just because of their religious views. One was the same denomination as him, the other simply had no belief. I was just gobsmacked at his attitude... he had no good reason to treat one preferentially over the other. He reasoned that the Christian would, by reason of his hypothetical upbringing, be a better person. In reality, both of them were taking him for a ride big style. One would get extended lectures and the other a pat on the back. I'd say the atheist lad was by far the most honest... he was true to who he was, and was open about that. The Christian was a slimey creep who played the game.
People can't help be biased toward there own kind. It's instinctual I think. That's anti Christ tho'. These Christians are being anti Christ in wanting to make that judgement. Morally, I think Dotard is on the high ground.
