It IS offensive, I agree. But the point he's making is, imo a valid one, even if it could have been made with more tact.
And if I want to make a point that insulted Erik, I wouldn't do it my making an obnoxious broad general statement about all physics experts or atheists, because either of those would also attack other people on this list. That's my point.
Bryon, reread the paragraph but substitute the word "homosexual" for "Catholic". Do you still think it's offensive? Why or why not?
Yes, of course it would still be as offensive, whether you substituted "homsexuals" or "Hispanics" or "Whites" or "Jews" or "Lutherans" or "Arabs" or "Democrats" or "Canadians". Why? -- Because it's bigotry in all cases, regardless of the point he's making
