When I point out the truly stupid beliefs of the dumber Abrahamic religions, I get the typical jerks who can't really defend the point screaming "bigot" because I don't respect their silly beliefs.
The two biggest offenders being Mormons and Catholics.
I find the latter kind of Hilarious because I was raised Catholic, most of my relatives are practicing Catholics, and members of my family have worked in Church related enterprises for three generations.
But to the point, is pointing out the silliness of a belief offensive.
If you told me that you believed in Martians or Bigfoot or Santa Claus, and I responded with science and reason why these are silly beliefs, you probably wouldn't try to call me a bigot for not respecting your beliefs. You might even be inclined to say, "Yeah, when you put it that way, those things are kind of silly."
But if you believe a man in a dress is talking to God, or that that God told Joseph Smith to go out and have sex with dozens of women, and I point out that is really stupid or silly.
BIGOT!!!!
When I point out that there are things in the history of these religions that indicate that there really isn't anything holy about them...
BIGOT!!!
To make it quite simple. Silly things do not become less silly if you dress them up in vestments and call them a religion..
Sorry, still silly no matter how you dress it up.
