I'm sure you've heard the phrase "Ignorance is bliss." I don't know everything about the Bible but I have studied it quite a bit and have never seen anything that supports their hateful beliefs. I think they either are incapable of understanding or they are afraid of what understanding may do to their belief system. So they must have based their beliefs in fear.
Bergice, why are you always on here bashing religion? Go get a life and do something worth your while. I don't know why you waste your time. You can't convince me so give it up.

The real question is why do idiots like you always try to blame racism on religion? That doesn't make sense, especially since most of the racists I have ever met were Bush bashing atheists.

Define bigots. Racism is against the Bible, so anyone who uses Christianity to defend racism doesn't understand Christianity.

acts 15:14 God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Also says that before the judgement seat the nations stood.
In every nation the man that is acceptable to god.
goes to heaven.
So it is not anymore one nation. But all nations the man that is acceptable to God that goes to heaven
Racists and bigots will not be in heaven.
All men are created equal

I dont know what you are getting at BUT the Bible clearly states that all those Hebrews of old were Black! Racist and bigots did not learn this from the Bible!

Here is the definition of a bigot
n : a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own
- I believe most atheists better fit this category than religious people do, and if you dont believe me just read a few of the posts from the atheists on Yahoo Answers.

Everyone else twists the meaning of the bible to suit their own agendas, so why should the racists and bigots be any different.

Because their twisted point of view of the religion is the only excuse for their psychotic breaks and jealous behavior.

They don't really know much and that's why they're racists and bigots.

They try, but it doesn't work out. If they really knew the Bible they would not be racists.
