12. The funny thing about the word bigot....

It's one of those words that as soon as you use it to label someone, you become that very thing yourself. It seems to me the concept works as a definition of a condition but no one can use it to label lest they become a hypocrite.

Those on the theist side sure like to hurl that word at us.

Coward is being used a lot as well. I just posted asking those who think RD is a coward to please post their name, city, state, profession, place and date of birth, religious affiliation and a recent photo. If they do this, then they can claim not to be a coward. If they feel uncomfortable doing so and do not.. they are very smart... but not necessarily a coward.
