On bigotry

Nouille said in response to Christians Fight, Infidels not:


I find religion can sometimes cloud ones judgement of a situation. This may make me unpopular here but I stand by this.

I am neither liberal nor conservative but take the issues as they come.
Some issues I am more conservative than others and some I am downright liberal on.

Americans seem to have to label people one or the other, this is troubling to me.

The "Random House Dictionary of the English Language" defines bigotry:

"(1) stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own. (2) actions, beliefs, prejudices, of a bigot. (3) to be so emotionally or subjectively attached to one's own beliefs as to be unthinkably hostile to all others who disagree."

Religions are about morality and morality is about sorting actions and attitudes in good and bad. This causes followers of religions and creeds to be opposed to certain groups who are deemed to think or act unchristian. In some cases this goes so far that Christians become bigots. Counterculture of 1968 has attacked traditional and Christian bigotry and used that bigotry to discredit tradition and religion. This was done in the name of utopian expectations. An end to tradition and traditional religion would bring about an era of progress and the elimination of amongst others bigotry.

When we look at our societies these days one sees a entirely different specacle however. Presently it is soccially unacceptable to mention all kinds of facts and opinions, especially those dealing with non-western religion, non-western demographic groups, women, homosexuals just to name a few. The whole practise has become enshrined in laws against racism and discrimination. Universities and institutions of learning have adopted draconian speech and hiring codes. The corporate world hires diversity experts to organise brainwashing sessions during which emnployees are browbeaten into submission to a particular point of view and ideology. We know this practice as POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

Political Correctness is the new secular bigotry. It is more pervasive than ever. It enforces diversity of creeds, gender and enthnic background, yet abhors diversity of opinion. Because the goal of Political Correctness is to create a discourse of society that is perfectly and harmoniously Multicultural its goal is an earthly utopia. Anybody standing in the way of that Utopia must be evil and crushed. Due to the new improved bigotry society is subject to a permanent political witch hunt in order to sniff out dissent. McCarthy was given the power to organise witchhunts against the Left for a few years. Something the Left is still sniveling about.

The McCartyism of the Left has been made law, institutionalised and is terrorising citizens for decades already. So it appears that bigotry is a universal human trait and efforts to stamp it out, have in fact made it worse.

Ironic, isn't it? The more changes, the more that stays the same.
