I don't think you understand what the word bigotry means. I have no animosity toward religious people, I have animosity toward religion itself. 

Futhermore, I might wish to wash my hands after encountering someone with influenza - that does not make me bigoted. 

There really is no logic to be found in your argument. I sincerely tried to find it, but continually am disappointed.


Except that your quote clealry says a religious person, not religion itself. And ''hand washing'' implies that they are diseased, disgusting, repulsive people for  having different opinion and one feels the need to clean himself after coming into contact with a religious person as if his beliefs make him like a leper or something like that.  Thats some nazi-level pejorative right ther, and the fact that you are trying to defend it tells a lot about what kind of person you really are. It makes you wonder what would happen if people like you had any kind of power or influence in the world. Oh wait, I have a pretty  good idea

Right, because they are "sick" and I wish not to "catch" it. That's not their fault, they simply caught "the bug" from years of indoctrination. Just as someone with influenza isn't at fault, or dirty, or whatever you said (hilarious stuff btw), but I certainly don't wish to contract it.

You refuse to understand my position, because you initially took offense for no reason. None is intended. 

PS: Learn the difference between Communism (a gov't system) and Antitheism (the concept that religion is bad) and then slap yourself in the face for conflating entirely different concepts.

Seeing religious beliefs as a disease to the extent that you have to wash your hands is the same as me claiming homosexuality is a disease and I have to ''disinfect'' myself after coming in contact with a gay person. Yet I know for a fact that you would call me a bigot for it, but when you apply the same pejorative to religion, it isnt bigotry?

And I am refering to the quote in your sig the way Nietzsche meant it (not the way you can spin it), and that is that he finds religious people repulsive, sick and/or disgusting, you know, the same way Hitler viewed the Jews. It really is the purest form of bigotry and you trying to defend it really is mind boggling.

And Anthitheism is a part of communism the same way Antisemitism is a part of National Socialism
