That's not a "bigoted" statement. In fact, I used the disclaimer "most likely."

However, Rome doesn't show me that same courtesy. Rome says outside the Roman Catholic church, there is no salvation.

So who's the real "bigot?"

[Mad Dawg]

Rome says outside the Roman Catholic church, there is no salvation.

False.

I'd say one indication of bigotry is the persistent misquoting of texts even after correction is offered repeatedly and the consistent misinterpretation of texts after other interpretations are provided again and again.In general, if, despite the ready accessibility of the truth, someone persists in presenting false accounts, I would tend to conclude that that person's judgment is more important to him than the truth.

Oh, well, in that case...

When some can no longer defend their theology the term “bigot” is brought out and paraded around. Or some baptist shows up and defends it for them. “Bigot” is a big old spit slush ball, you might want to invest in a helmet and a visor with wind sheild wipers
