That's.... Holy ******** am so sorry.
It was a head-desk moment.

And I know I wouldn't have had a lot of support in my position.

Hey Celeblin, do you know of a word that addresses bigotry against another religion in the same way that some terms address bigotry against gender and the like?
Like sexist or misogynist? I think religionism might be a word but beyond that you probably want Anti-X bigotry.

Yeah, like those.

The problem is that our lexicon for most of this stuff stemmed from an age where we actually thought people with different complexions and physical features were a different species. Our understanding has changed, but our vocab really doesn't seem to have caught up. sweatdrop

It was just the audacity of it. "But the word G~ comes from Egyptian! And you read tea leaves and stuff... "

I rarely actually want to hit people. It just doesn't happen that much.

I can understand that sudden violent impulse in the face of that.

I would just like to wish everyone a happy Mabon. I celebrated last night and very much enjoyed myself. Hope all of you did as well.


I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. Apparently a holiday of some sort.

The best I have is religionist. And admittedly it's an awkward word. Religocentric seems to work though for ignoring other religious contexts in favor of one's own. So I imagine religionist or religist would work.

There was a time when I would say that, if I wanted a burger, then I would go to MacDonalds. Not that their burgers are stellar, just that I had not had a better one (and I had had a lot). However, recently, I had the most scrumptious of burgers ever. It was a lamb burger with feta cheese and some other fixings. Sooo good.

So, not completely a position of religious bigotry. Hmmm...

I make a Bell and Bacon Burger. I use ground beef and sweet sausage, a couple other things- patties about an inch thick after cooking. Top it off with freshly roasted bell pepper, bacon, and some other fixings.

Aww, now my mouth is watering! I'm off to get a Whopper. A poor substitute, but it'll have to do.

I'm not sure I can call it a substitute in good conscience. wink

Considering it smelled rather like an unwashed bum and the meat was burnt, I'd agree. stare

i'm still holding out hope that my brother brings in a deer this year. I've been wanting to make deer burgers for a while, but he hasn't gotten one in 3 years.

How ignorant do you have to be to think that Wiki's dictionary is better than the OED? I have some fool suggesting Wiki's understanding of Nihilism is actually better than a semester course on it at a University.
