Nota bene: Bigots can back the fuck off.
I have no tolerance for bigots. At all.
A bigot is anyone who hates other people for reasons of race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, body type, or religion.1 I don't care if you hate individuals for good reasons, or hate idiots and close-minded assholes like I do, but racists, sexists, transphobic persons, and anyone who hates fat people, gay people, bisexual people, people with asperger's or any other mental syndrome/condition, people with disabilities, furries, people of any religion (including paganism and Satanism) just because they're a member of said religion, or anything they don't understand. If you can't look at something or someone you don't understand without at least trying to have an open mind about them, then you can go fuck off right now. Yes, I'm intolerant of intolerance. So fucking what?
As for me, I rant about the kind of people I've been trying for years to understand, without any luck. But I do keep trying to be open minded, I really do.
1 = Be advised that rants on my personal blogs and stuff against "Christians" are actually aimed at the fundy types of Christians. I hate close-minded, fundy types of all religions and philosophies. For instance, Richard Dawkins pisses me off at least as much as Pat Robertson and a certain frothy mix of fecal matter and lube that is vying for the GOP ticket of the Presidential election.
But I respect and even admire open-minded religious people, especially Christians who actually try to follow Jesus's teachings. If you respect me, and people I've outlined above in the main text of the entry, then I will respect you.
