I am back. Word to the wise, never buy an HP Chromebook. It never ends well.

I have a new computer and am dealing with some RL related stuff with it (transfering important files, etc), so I will probably not be able to get any roleplaying done this weekend.

Take your time. I'll still be here.
Mussolini was not an athiest. He brokered the deal between the Italian government and the Catholic Church that solved a rift that had been in place since Italian unification. And he was very Catholic.
Stalin, Kim Jong-Il and Mao did not kill in the name of atheism. Neither did Dahlmer. What makes a crime a crime of religious extremism as opposed to a crime of just stupid nutfuckery (Dalhmer) or political oppression (Mao, Stalin, KJ-I)

Don't make atheists look back, Magnum. We live in the real world, not the world where you can be so blanketly stupid about extremist religion.
Alright.
Hey it happens. No worries.

Everyone Sane and Not Being Purposefully Difficult
And TV Tropes is always right.
The Nexerus said
Bigotry is completely and entirely reasonable in many cases. Human beings are being speciesist, intolerant of other species, when they hate or fear lions and bears upon encountering them in the wild.Bigotry is not inherently illogical, and it serves a purpose in moderating society.
I never said I thought bigotry was something to try to completely get rid of, nor did I say it didn't serve some kind of role - though more accurately, it is prejudice that serves the role. As in, pre-judging. Bigotry does not.
All I was doing was pointing out a logical hole in Mr. Bored's arguement - well, several.
Though to call fear when encountering a lion in the wild 'bigotry' is stretching the term quite a bit.
So, back to Mr. Bored: Antithetical =/= disagreement. In this case, means the two cannot, straight up, co-exist. Water is antithetical to fire, and vice-versa. Water and fire are not intolerant of each other. They are not in disagreement with each other. They cannot coexist in the same space. Bigotry and Tolerance are the same thing - they are antithetical.
No, that's not fixing. There is a difference between intolerance (bigotry) and just something that someone doesn't like. That's like saying fire is intolerant to water. The two are essentially antithetical to each-other.
But wouldn't a tolerant society want to discourage bigotry?
