No, you can still openly discriminate against fat people, Indians, immigrants, Arabs, Mexicans, people from rural areas, and people of any faith not your own.
Don't worry, there's plenty of bigotry to go around.

Bigotry of any kind is unacceptable.
However, while you're standing there playing the martyr, consider this: If someone came up to you and said, "The moon landing was a fake, the earth is flat, the moon is made of green cheese, and the earth is the center of the universe," would you not think this person was an idiot?
Would telling him so make you a bigot?
Then I am not a bigot for telling Christians they have some pretty stupid ideas. As many Christians are fond of saying, "Love the sinner, hate the sin." It's just that in my case, I view the holding to outmoded and demonstratably false beliefs to be stupid, and stupidity is #1 on my list of 'sins'.

I don't know how much you have looked at the media lately but all bigotry is looking acceptable. You have groups that discuss every race, sexual orientation, as well as religion. I think as a whole people are just being more outspoken about their belief that they use to keep quite. Since media has given ever one an outlet people fell like there are connected to these other people by hatred. You shouldn't worry so much about Christianity as you should society as a whole. A better question would be why is there so much more bigotry lately.

Anti Christian bigotry is a fact but Anti Christian persecution is coming next. It's already started to some degree. A court in Oklahoma recently upheld a muslim girls right to wear a head scarf in school (head gear had been banned) because it was a commandment of her religion. These same courts, though, prevent Christian school children from discussing Christianity with other school children on school property. The great commision COMMANDS that we go into all the world and preach the gospel to EVERY living creature so that whosever believes in Him shall be saved. Preaching the gospel is a COMMANDMENT of our religion just as much as wearing a head scarf is a commandment of islam. Our politically correct legal system, though, safeguards the rights of muslim children to follow their commands at the same time that it restricts the rights of Christians to follow their commandments. As our nation's commitment to Christianity erodes and the secularization of our society increases we will see more and more of this type of prejudice and persecution. We must stand together as Christians and elect representatives both state and federal who are not afraid to stand up and state that we have always been and should always continue to be a CHRISTIAN nation under God. Not allah.

Anti-Christianity is not the last acceptable bigotry (although it is quite prevalent). For example, during the unprovoked attack on Israel by Lebanon, recently, on the daily KOS, there were quite a few posts talking about a "final solution" (in other words genocide against the Jews) as the way to solve the "problems in the middle east". Also, quite a bit of rancor was directed against Lieberman, not for his politics (which are very far left) but because he was a Jew. KOS rates the posts and those posts all had 95%+ approval ratings. The inescapable conclusion is that liberals in general and democrats in particular have a belief system very similar to national socialism (nazism) including the desire to kill innocent people in large numbers for no better reason than irrational hatred.
These are the same people working 24/7 to destroy Christianity (mostly because any form of morality is a large obstacle to their evil plans).
Nor is this an isolated issue. You see liberals championing the "God Hates Fags" idiots in the form of the ACLU filing frivolous lawsuits to try and block the completely reasonable laws that prevent these people from intruding at funerals of all places.
You see these guys putting black republican candidates as whites in black face with captions that say "Simple Sambo say, I wan be prez-o-dent!"
Then, just to show they don't discriminate with their racism, you hear prominent black liberals rabidly calling for the extermination of whites as the solution to black social problems.
My point here is that Christians think this is a fluke. That these people are hypocritically singling them out for bigotry and that it is nothing more than a bit of an annoyance.
That isn't even slightly the case. Very real hatred, violence and a basic denial of the rights and humanity of whole groups of people are what these guys are all about. For the past few decades (mostly because of the strong rule of law in the west) they have limited themselves to using politics to block western governments from intervening in genocide and many other atrocities all over the world. The result has been the cruel murder (murder that they, will full knowledge and enthusiasm for what they are doing, have aided and abetted) of hundreds of millions of innocent people over the last couple of generations...nazi germany, russia, china, north korea, cuba etc. etc. They have an ocean of blood on their hands. And their real goal is to bring that HERE. It's YOU and YOUR FAMILY they want to load into the trains to be sent off to the gulags or to the "showers".
Never forget that. And never let up resisting them.

In other words, you think all non-Christians are bigots. Isn't that kind of ignorant on your part? To base your view of all of us non's on an internet forum? Should all of us non-Christians then view all Christians based on what we see here as well?
If that is all you ever hear, it's because you are clicking on those specific questions that target Christians in that way. That is your choice to do so, but to label it Anti-Christian based on what you choose to click on is rather silly.
Isn't about time everyone started dealing with people on an individual basis rather than making sweeping generalizations such as these?

Honestly, I see more bigotry by Christians against other religions (mostly Muslims) than the other way around. Plus, I see Muslims being put down in real life, when I never see Christian bashing irl.

I agree that there are way too many bigots on this site or rather bigoted statements being written by both Non-Christian and Christian. One is too many.

Christians can be just as bad. Not all Christians, or those who call themselves that anyway, are good people. They feel by attending church their automatically forgiven for their sins. There are just as many bad Christians as non Christians.

A bigot is someone who is "utterly intolerant of someone else's belief system". I think there are lots of people here on Yahoo Answers who fit that description.
