Most good people would have responded to the ideas in the post , to historical sources of bigotry , xenophobia & racism which rose out of intolerant particians and the politics which were intimately tied to the vehement religious bigotry & intense group haterds of those times . Typing big "LOL's" is the best you can do then thats the best you can do ,yet even the smallest investigation the word "bigot" itself describes you perfectly .

What would the poor rabbi say of all that religious persecution & the millions killed because of it ? Centuries of infighting & brutal war , schisms of doctrine & politically manipulating blind indoctrinated masses thru religion for justification of brutal mayhem that was endless & all over what ? Was it just based upon some trivial variations of ritual worship , clerical structure & some differences of ideologies or is it just something deep in human nature that rises out of Darwinian competition tied to centralizing authority , ensuring survival of tribal groupings acting out of fear & self protection ?

They say a bigot is like a pupil of the eye that with the more light you shine on it the more tightly it closes , but even in the instances of those examples of "Atheistic" movements one sees exactly the same hierarchies & patterning of avid ideology that demanded complete indoctrination , obedience & oaths , whether to the state or an imagined kingdom on earth , the two sets in their totalitarianism were equal in the results they produced and history shows this clearly .
