I know it is not about hating anyone. I’m just saying it leaves that sour taste in my mouth. If I can pinpoint why, I’ll post it.
As for me, I have walked in many shoes, so I try not to point fingers at religions, religious beleifs and believers.
I believe it takes the whole lot of it to make the world, even if at some point or another all are guilty of some kind of mistreatment towards “the others”.

Are you Jewish?
Then perhaps it’s that the bigotry toward you comes sugar coated sometimes. It looks pretty on the outside but is poo when one gets right down to it. I think this makes one wonder about the motivations of a person who mentions some of the things here.

We just saw the movie “Hairspray”. One character’s mother is very Catholic, with a Miraculous Medal necklace and a rosary. She is stereotypical, bigoted, zealot who ties her daughter up with a jumprope when she does something wrong and throws Holy Water on her. I should have been very offended by her, but I realized that portraying a Catholic is easy with all of outward signs of being Catholic. More than any other religious zealot. For the few minutes this was on, I over looked it, because the rest of the movie is so bright and happy.

It might be hard, and I apologize if the article offended you, but please understand that I feel the author would be horrified if they were truly meant to be slams or if he knew you felt this way.
