It's OK to dislike narrow-minded people. The bigotry part is when you assume that Christian fundamentalists in general are narrow-minded.

Christian fundmantalists in general *are* narrow-minded, though I fear you will never admit this.

I actually part company with Flame a bit here. I don't particularly like Christian fundamentalists and agree they are narrow-minded. On the other hand, they are not the bogeymen you make them out to be. You seem to have an especial dislike of Falwell, but to the best of my knowledge he never encouraged people to strap explosives on and walk into parties or to hijack airliners and slam them into buildings. Let's try to keep a little perspective here.

If you think about it, in terms of Christianity, the current leaders in the realm of bigotry, intolerance and religious bloodthirstiness are the Orthodox Serbs.
