sorry, still looks bigoted to me.
It express superiority of your own opinion in a clearly prejudicial way. That is the definition of bigotry.
As a Fundy Christian myself I found her language insulting and anti Christian.
As a Far Right gun nut, I found here inability to accept responsibility at odds with the common FAR RIGHT value of self reliance and accountability.
I know its all hip, PC and UN approved to be bigoted towards Christians and you probably don't even know your doing it so I'll just blame it on your socialist up bringing.
I love it how you continue to be incredibly insulting to me and manage to justify it based on a misconception, a flawed premise and a lack of understanding of the terminology that you're using and yet somehow, I'm the bad guy.
It's hilarious because you're doing exactly what it is you're accusing me of doing and while I'm innocent of it, you're plainly guilty.
But like I said, I know I'm not going to change your mind because it's stuck in neutral and you don't have the humility to self-evaluate using reason, logic or any form of critical thinking.
How's that college education working out for you?
hey, this is fun. If your not enjoying it just say so. I dont want to be "that guy"
I regret the socialist comment its arguable that Australia is NOT socialists country.
In the interest of international brotherhood. Please explain how I was wrong about your comment being bigoted. I do want to learn. So far you stated that it was not bigoted, but have not given an explanation why it was not.

I'm going to take this at face value even though I'm not 100% convinced you're being genuine. The reason I haven't explained it is because you put me on the back-foot immediately by accusing me of bigotry. From that point forward I had no reason to explain myself and every reason to be indignant. In addition to that, I felt it was self-explanatory and obvious and didn't need explaining.
But hey, in the spirit of understanding and communication, I'll bite.
Firstly, the comment needs to be viewed in context. As is clearly stated in my post, the comment was meant to be a part of the previous post but I made a board faux pas by not editing the original post by making a new one instead. The reason I went back to edit my OP was because after I posted it, I noticed your comment which I hadn't seen before.
Therefore it should be read as follows:
I can't help but laugh at all of this. I watched the episode too but never thought it would explode and go viral like it has. Reddit is abuzz with it too. People have snagged the domain "amysbakingcompany" and redirected it to a petition to have Amy committed
And her responses have been pretty psychotic to the whole thing. There's only so much you can do in editing before someone's crazy shines on through no matter what. She's a diamond, that's for sure.
Well, apparently the likes have come from the far right, religiosity crowd who are defending her because of all her God ranting.
The 'apparently', now in context, indicates attribution to reddit sources. In other words, it is not "having or revealing an obstinate belief in the superiority of one's own opinions and a prejudiced intolerance of the opinions of others" since it's not something you can attribute to me and even if it was, it was not indicative of an obstinate belief. Not only that, but the sentence itself, even if taken out of context, does not indicate a 'superiority of one's own opinions', simply because there is no argument inherent within it and therefore you cannot attribute an argumentative value to it such as 'inferior' or 'superior'.
You chose to look at one narrow aspect and define it as being oriented towards a strongly held belief and a hatred for religion or religious people, solely from one word, that being "religiosity" which is nothing more than a quirk of language and writing style. "Her God ranting," is not offensive because that's what she does, she rants about God. Even you said you didn't approve of her language.
Attributing these things to me is a semantic misinterpretation that you decided to turn into a hateful display of, ironically, bigotry. Since you displayed an obstinate belief in the superiority of your opinion and a prejudiced intolerance of my opinion. My opinion being that you had misinterpreted my words, taken them out of context, and used them as justification to insult me, despite stating clearly that what you were attributing to me was incorrect and asking you to reevaluate your position.
For my comment to have been bigoted, it would've had to have stated an argument for one thing, and it would have to be attributable to me, rather than being referential. You attributing the comment to me was a leap of logic and not a statement of mine, presented as an argument. For your claim to be valid, I would have had to have formed the sentence something like this:
"I think she's a far right fundamentalist religious nutbag and there's clearly something wrong with being all of those things."
Now, if you can say that "Well, apparently the likes have come from the far right, religiosity crowd who are defending her because of all her God ranting," has the same meaning as the above, then quite frankly I'm done with you and this conversation.

nah, not buyin it. Your attribution defense is groundless. No reasonable person would presume a link between the statement "reddit is a abuzz with it too." and the comment that I claimed was bigoted.
However, lets accept that you meant it to be in context of the reddit conversation.
So if you meant this:
Would you agree that the statement from the reddit community is bigoted?

So if you meant this:
Then all is good, you were simply restating a bigoted point of view coming from the reddit community.

nice!
