I use that term to describe the sect that meddles a bit too much, to the
point of trying to prevent the distribution of condoms in Africa as part
of
our AIDS prevention assistance. You know why, and you know they're wrong.
People are dying, and these Kristians are trying to connect condoms with
loose morals because of something they read in an old book written by
people
who were no holier than you or I. It's pure bull****.

Odd - I never thought of you as a bigot.

I'm disappointed.


Bigot? I define that as disliking a certain type of person for stupid
reasons, like the color of their skin. Meanwhile, you know nothing about the
person inside the skin. I dislike a certain sect of Christians because of
something tangible they have done, and will continue to do. Tangible. Not
the color of their skin, or the simple existence of their religion, but the
things they do. They want to control other people's lives, and they'll quote
from their books to "prove" that they're right. Some of these lunatics
actually believe they OWN their wives.

I know a few deeply religious evangelical types. They're not all Kristians.
I've spoken at length to two of them about what one of the sects tries to
do, in terms of meddling with programs that have an actual chance of making
people's lives better. They find this behavior reprehensible. You should,
too. If you need proof that this happens, I'll find it for you. It's nothing
new, or hidden. It was big news during the early years of the Bush-2
administration. I believe they also hounded Clinton with their nonsense.

Pretending a certain subset of people is nonexistent does not work, Tom.
