I hate seeing "the religion of peace" bullshit here.

10. No hate to say that some dogma provide more cover for pro-violent fundamentalists than others.

I'm not a believer, but I won't travel anywhere near theocratically governed countries because I don't feel safe there, religions of peace or no.

I don't know how you hope to pressure party unity here by pointing out the bigotry of some of its members. There are some, for sure; but try, at least, to understand those who don't tolerate intolerant believers of any faith. I've been out of town for a couple of weeks, so maybe everyone knows to whom you're referring, but I just don't. If bigotry gets called out around here, I think it's better to challenge bigoted statements as they appear in threads, instead of create some blanket condemnation thread. Because it doesn't help me, at least, to understand who you're talking about.

We need to stay objective about the basis by which people justify their intolerance toward intolerant believers. Not all people here are bigots when they watch and weigh believer conflicts. And, of course, not all non-believers are tolerant of believers. But my experience is that non-believers tend to be live-and-let-live types.

The only time intolerance is rational is when it's shown toward those who are irrationally intolerant toward others' free will. Speaking as an atheist, I've noticed that not all who are intolerant are bigots. Some simply want others' intolerance to back off.
