Bigotry is when you lose all perspective between understanding a person's character and lump them into a group. We are reasonably cautious about folks who belong to faiths like Mormonism especially when you consider some of the things in their teachings.

Hmm...

9/11 was almost a decade ago. In that time, how many slam-type comments have we seen on FR & elsewhere that lumps all Muslims into a group?

Have you been consistent? On how many of those threads did you enter therein, and proceed to accuse 1-2 posters of being "bigoted?"

Thousands of such threads?
Hundreds?
Dozens?
A handful?
None? (Except this thread?)

If the answer's the last one...my...how "bold" and courageous of you to take on a poster or two re: Mormonism when the way you just defined "bigotry" would give you a mountainful of posters to attack as "bigots"! (btw...yet another "fave" accusation per the liberal lexicon).

So. I'm "anxious" to hear on how many Islam & 9/11 threads you've lectured and properly frowned upon those who have lumped Muslims into a group.

Anytime anyone uses the word bigot, or accuses another of that, I consider the source using it with much suspicion as it's commonly used by cults as a tactic to intimidate those opposing them...not to mention a favorite for liberals. And if Mormons don't want to be lumped into one group then they need to show they have a mind and will that doesn't tow their LDS line. I haven't once heard or seen a Mormon who doesn't.
