bigot
he reads my essay on atheism
and writes me a note
he says i’m too hard on the religious
that he likes the religious
atheists
agnostics
everyone
reading this
i think this is such passive bullshit
to like everyone
is to like no one at all
he wonders if i’m a bigot
because of how i feel about religion
do i think i’m better
than the people who have god?
i think about not writing him back
but then i do
i tell him
that religion is bigoted and vile
that i equate religious speech with hate speech
and that if hating the religious
makes me a bigot then so be it
then i tell him thanks for reading the essay
and i hope you look forward to the next one
which will be on baking
and no one can be a bigot
neither i nor the religious
about chocolate chip cookies
and cheesecake.
except that chocolate chip cookies are a religion on their own :)
