11. This is supposed to be funny. It's not. It's bigoted.

Can you imagine the reaction if something similar were written about a rabbi on Yom Kippur? But then, anti-Christian bigotry is perfectly acceptable on DU -- look at the atheists who infest the Religion group (who spew bigoted remarks about believers, but get the vapors when someone has the temerity to say "that's bigoted&quot .

And before some idiot says, "You have no sense of humor", it's not true. I am just solidly opposed to bigotry of any sort. My mother was Jewish and her parents were killed in Auschwitz. My younger brother is gay. My daughter-in-law is African-American. I have Asperger's. All of us know what it is to be discriminated against.
