Is that not just what you are doing?
That's not how I read it.-The hotelier is an ignorant bigot who happens to be a Christian.A person of that type would be an arsehole no matter what his religion.
My oft stated view is that religions allow people's character to emerge, good and bad. IE Religions are reflections of the societies which invent them and of the people who practice them. ALL believers cherry pick the emphasis their religion takes for them. EG how many Christians actually turn the other cheek,love their enemies,or give away everything they own to the poor to live the apostolate?
