Political science (Marx was a racist), Evolutionary science (Darwin was a racist), Psychology (Freud was a racist), Engineering (Ford was a racist), etc. | |

| May 2, 2018 at 19:07 | comment | added | JBH | The history of few religions is devoid of bigotry. It's a very human habit and very difficult to overcome. It doesn't help when scripture identifies groups as "chosen" or "elect," thereby drawing a line between that group and all others. It's also very easy (and just as wrong) to judge thousands of years of history by today's standards - just as it will be easy for future people to judge us by their standards. A more productive question might be "what are religions today doing to overcome bigotry?" | |
