Bigotry refers to a narrow-minded person who opposes his own law religion, etc. and ignores the suffering of the world. Bill Maher believes in equality for everyone as did the philosopher, political activist, Thomas Paine, in his AGE OF REASON.
Dear Ones,
These are still the times that try men's souls. Here is what Thomas Paine wrote about religion in his publication COMMON SENSE:
"All national religious institutions whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me as no other than human inventions, set upon to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and power." He also wrote, "Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst."
Thomas Paine, who wrote eloquently and masterly, used rough language in his everyday speech that only made his words more powerful to shock people in his times to take action for a better world.
By the way, Americans, don't be a goat. Get out and vote. Your vote counts toward what issues mean the most to you.
Mame.
