Am I a bigot?

I grew up in a very religious family. I am no longer a part of that tradition. I was born with a prefrontal cortex and began to question everything as a young person.
I went through a complete deconstruction the Christian experience and discovered that there were many inconsistencies that I could not reconcile.

Faith is a fools errand. If you choose that path, then so be it. I see all religions as a bit of a crutch.
I won’t change and your replies about “truth” are meaningless.

Bigot: a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

Do you do that?

I've found that people who say they question everything don't. But that doesn't really matter. If you no longer what to be a part of a tradition you don't need a reason for that.

People who say faith is a fool's errand are just making excuses or ignorant of what faith is, but that doesn't really matter either since you don't need a reason. Just stop making them up and trying to rationalize or justify your decision. It kind of makes you look silly.

Let’s start with what I grew up hearing.

Hebrews 11:1 KJV

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

The chapter references many events that are questionable in their validity.

Enoch, pleased God, in my experience…the least talked about character in the Bible.
He was better than Jesus. How ?
Why didn’t god leave the rubric that he used for Enoch?

Faith keeps people in line and not thinking too much.

The definition you used for bigot, is the description of Saul/Paul.

If he can do it, so can anyone else. If street preachers can spread hate I can spread reason.

I could go on…but at this point, you look silly enough.

Be well and don’t come back.
