Always easier to point fingers at The Other! I believe every religious and non-religious ideology (including secularism and Science!) has its own phases of bigotry and intolerance. The more open we are to accepting this, working for reform, and placing self-correcting checks and balances in place, the better! Mario responds: Since I am the lone voice on Goanet of reason, truth and peace, I have no option but to point fingers at "The Other":-)) My intolerance is restricted to truth-twisters and crabs. But you are absolutely right. Secularism is intolerant and bigoted towards religious fanaticism and science is bigoted and intolerant towards ignorance and intellectual charlatans. I'm curious about what checks and balances you are proposing for the Christian fascism that ended hundreds of years ago? Furthermore, aren't you one of those who opposed the "checks and balances" of US-led forces against the Islamo-fascists who were targeting and killing innocent Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan? I have no idea what "reform" you have in mind, or what self-correcting checks and balances look like when facing the Islamo-fascism that is on the march right now, whose primary victims are innocent Muslims followed by anyone else who gets in their way.
