This is a rebuttal to [you know who you are] who accused me of hate
mongering and bigotry for my attacks on catholicism:

I disagree with the characterization (if you'll grant my retraction of
the "must be crushed" phrasing).  I'm attacking very specific policies of
the catholic church.  Is it bigotry against americans when people
criticism the american government?

I acknowledge that a ton of people we know and like associate themselves
with catholicism to varying degrees.  I'm not attacking them.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's
a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they
would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view
from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as
it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes
painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time
something like that happened in politics or religion."
