The Full Definition of bigot as provided by Merriam Webster

a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

The definition doesn’t support your accusations so in essence the foundation for your sensitivity is without substance which makes your claims even more inane.

At least you are starting to use substance instead of resorting to the “I’m right because it’s so obvious” technique. I appreciate you at least starting to use that noodle of yours, since you’re obviously so much more intelligent than the ignorant morons who profess a belief in the divine.

However, are you obstinately devoted to your view? Are you intolerant of religion (and by extension, its adherents)? Are you expressing prejudice based on your perspective and a limited sample? Are you singling out a particular group? Note that while racial or ethnic groups are given as an example, they are not the definitive recipients of bigotry. Have you expressed hatred towards that group?

The answer to each question is yes. And then you have the audacity to say that the definition doesn’t support my accusations.

Most humorously, however, is your insistence on my sensitivity. While at times I’ve become quite upset on these very boards for what some have written, I have not even had my pulse quicken. I may have been harsh in my wording, but such was not out of anger. I actually can see decent conversations with an atheist like Jeebus. I have enjoyed many conversations with CP3S in the past, a very adamant atheist. But you literally offer nothing useful in your debates thus far. And you literally, in very definition, are a bigot. I’m sorry, but this you have demonstrated quite vividly, and your sensitivity to my use of the term only further highlights the reality of that bigotry in your heart.
