I was simply responding to the thing about prejudice. You can call it prejudice if you want. But I call it reasoned anti-christianity, and I have a lot of reasons for being against christianity. As a biologist who has leared from experience that humans and other animals are really not different from each other except in certain evolutonarily developed traits, I find christianity's idea that humans are above all the other animals to be morally repulsive. I also am not very fond of the fact that christians are always sticking their nose in places where it doesn't belong, so that we have to fight tooth and nail just to get anything done or accepted in science because christians who don't know what they are talking about, and don't understand even basic biological concepts, have powerful lobbying groups that try to undermine science. (Did you know that as late as the 1960s, it was still illegal in some areas for teachers to teach Darwin's concepts of evolution in classrooms?) So call it whatever you want. But I don't call it prejudice when I can historically document my reasons for being opposed to christianity. Mike |
