Bigotry murders religion to frighten fools with her ghost.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth.
Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
There's so much bigotry that needs to be overcome.
Bigotry and intolerance, silenced by argument, endeavors to silence by persecution, in old days by fire and sword, in modern days by the tongue.
My mother was a modern woman with a limited interest in religion. When the sun set and the fast of the Day of Atonement ended, she shot from the synagogue like a rocket to dance the Charleston.
Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity.
There is no religion that has a monopoly on bigotry.
I have never yet heard of a murderer who was not afraid of a ghost.
That religious earnestness forever tends toward fright and hence towards brittleness and inquisition is clear enough in mythology and history.
Bigotry is the sacred disease.
