"How about judging/condemning your neighbour's appearance... Doesn't that just reek of ignorance and bigotry?"

If you want to call me a bigot because I think people who use religion as a rational to justify mutilating their children, you go right a head... it says more about you than it does about me...

This isn't about wearing a turban, or having to face a certain direction when you pray... this isn't about what you think some invisible man in the sky said about what you can and cannot eat on certain days of the week.... This is child abuse... plain and simple...

If your religion said it was o.k. for a man to beat his wife, I'd be JUST as condemning and condescending of that practice as well....

Oh... wait... That's already been done...

I don't know why I'm surprised to find such prevalent attitudes here, I really don't....
