In an effort not to derail this thread, I've started a new thread,

Is this an example of men using the name of God as justification of war and murder ?
Or is it an example of a bigoted religion ?
Perhaps it's a fictional writer by the name of Ezekiel or an example of God ordering the deaths of infants and young children for the sins of their fathers.
Jesus reinforced thou shall not kill in Mathew. Killing innocent infants and children is murder using any definition of the word.

I agree with Aerika on this; it's still intolerance and therefore, still bigotry. If someone's religion teaches they should kill those of differing beliefs is not still killing?
Bigotry is about what one believes, not why they believe it.
