Yep. Very few bigots want to give up their beliefs and understand what they're actually saying, especially if that bigotry is based in the religion they were raised with. So while IMO they're trying to defend an untenable position, they will still try to do it and, I guess, hope that other people will be hesitant to criticize believing that someone's religious belief is some sort of sacred cow no one should criticize.

Religion is a powerful thing. Questioning it in the past brought with it severe penalties including ostracism and death. Many today accept what their religion preaches without questioning it. After all, it's supposed to be coming from God.
I'm not sure if I would ever have questioned religion if I hadn't heard powerful people in the church saying things about me that I knew were not true. It made me start wondering how much of what else they were saying wasn't true either.

well if you want to talk religion I think we would need to start a new thread.. but remember people are fallible. Just because someone claims to be a man of God doesnt mean he has all the answers. We were given brains to reason out things for ourselves.
