Bigotry at Home

Here is a bit of religiously inspired bigotry for you.

What shocks me isn't really what he said, since I've gotten used to the fact that religious fundamentalists sometimes spout biblically inspired hate speech ever since I started outing myself to people as an atheist. No, what shocks me is how close to home this is. Sudbury is basically my home town.

It's one thing to see this stuff on the CFI's blog or to hear about it from the Rational Response Squad or from RichardDawkins.net, but to read about it in my own local newspaper was just odd...something I'm not used to at all.

Religion is the single greatest source of the world's bigotry. When will people wake up, grow up, and stop believing?
