I think a bigot is simply someone who has no respect for certain people who are different from himself or herself just because they're different, isn't it? If so, one could find both religious and non-religious bigots of every variety out there, I'm sure... ;-)

John, you said... "...there are fundamentalists who do not understand, nor can they correctly explain the finer points of "verbal plenary inspriration". "

You're not kidding!!! Even my dog has failed utterly to do that, and he's a genius. Just ask him.

Matter of fact, I don't think I know anyone who has succeeded in correctly explaining the finer points of verbal plenary inspriration.

Sheesh. Maybe we should ask Batman about it. Or Noam Chomsky. Or Teribus. But definitely not Spaw. Gotta be someone out there who can appreciate those finer points and articulate them so the rest of us can understand.
