It appears to be not so easy to provide an in-depth explanation of one's own conclusions of what Reality is to back up the snide sneering.
May I suggest that those who wish to make such criticisms do so with some element of wisdom which gives expression to their views.

Ok, let's talk about some of the bigotry that's perpetrated in the name of Jesus.

What so you think about a church that for decades has hidden and defended it's child abusing priests, and thus allowed them to go on and commit more heinous crimes, and ignored the thousands of young victims, in order to protect itself?
When we've fully exhausted and discussed this topic, we can move on to the bigotry that arises from not allowing people to protect themselves from transmittable diseases, because of man-made prejudices, and which has absolutely no Biblical foundation.
In the meantime, because it so suits you, have some more devilishy red karma from an atheist, and former Sunday school teacher.
