I also wouldn't be as critical if there wasn't a sustained effort to reshape our courts & democracy to a more theocratic stance. We are secular republic based and it needs to stay that way.
A bigot is "a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion." Saying someone else's beliefs are silly and mythical demonstrates intolerance, and is proof that the person is a bigot.

OK, religious discussion is not allowed on APC for a reason, so please knock it off now.

Thanks.

You had no problem contributing to religious discussion by adding comments that stereotype religion in post # 22 when responding to the bigoted statements in post # 21. However, you waited to chastise MY post, which simply defends my religion that was mocked by post # 21. Why didn’t you chastise post # 21 for mocking my religion as soon as it was posted, instead of adding your own religiously stereotypical statements in post # 22? Hypocrite. Another Twitter-like useless forum where rules on their face are neutral, but definitely are not neutral in application. A forum that censors the defense of beliefs when those beliefs are attacked, but doesn’t censor the attacks on those beliefs.

No I just said religion is not the cause of human reproduction, that reproduction's been around longer than religion. I wasn't discussing or debating religion per se. But this is why we can't even skirt the subject...

No belief should be immune to ridicule. It either rests on evidence and logic, or it’s exposed.
