"Did someone get up on the wrong side of the rock?"

That quote is very apropos. As a matter of fact, I regard the "cavemen" in those ads as glyphs representing the American "redneck," who is alone told he must tolerate bigotry because "how can it be offensive if it's wrong?"

Thanks for noticing!

And now I'll actually answer your question. Yes, I got up on the wrong side of the rock because I went to an Orthodox Jewish site and found it full of attacks on Protestant missionaries and on no one else. Now I'm a Noachide, which means I actually agree with these people theologically, but sometimes the use of the Protestant Missionary as the greatest evil the world has ever known just plain gets to me (especially by people who consider themselves "too good" to proselytize anyone). What is the point of being right if you're going to keep it to yourself???

I will sat this again: I fully expect to see an attempted ecumenical union of all "good religions" (ie, the ones that don't proselytize) in the near future based on nothing but a united condemnation of Fundamentalist Protestant missionaries. I can see Orthodox Jews, the Dolly Llama, Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, new agers, indigenous shamanistic beliefs, and everyone else you can think of having one big happy pow wow about those horrible intolerant rednecks who for some reason seem to be the only people in the world whose religious beliefs don't deserve any respect.

As I explained in a post on another thread last night, I have never been "born again" or even been a member of a Protestant church (the only church I've ever been a member of is the Catholic Church, for six years), but when that day happens I know on whose side I will be.

Now . . . that make it crystal clear?

I went to an Orthodox Jewish site and found it full of attacks on Protestant missionaries and on no one else.

ROFL!!!!!!!

I'm not an Orthodox Jew (being Catholic, I suppose that in some sense I'm a very un-orthodox Jew, but that's for another thread), nor is this an Orthodox Jewish site. Dragging arguments from Site A to Site B doesn't strike me as a very wise thing to do, if for no other reason that the folks on Site B have no idea what one is talking about. YMMV.

In the post on this site which seems to have attracted your ire, I compared bigots (unfavourably) to crows. In fact, I as much as called them stupid. How is that wrong? Is bigotry smart? Where I come from, one can be very highly educated and still be a total moron ... one can be illiterate and still be quite smart.
