H: Well I lost my job
M: What? That's terrible.
H: Yeah I worked at an Orange Juice plant. They said I couldn't concentrate, so they canned me.
They were the most terrible, horrible jokes I ever heard and I loved it because they were so bad.
Jubber, you're not a bad person just because you're religious, but if you're willing to let your child die just because your beliefs suggest you can't give them an otherwise acceptable and readily available treatment, you're a bad person.
Bolded relevant sections.
I don't like religious people either but you are an incredibly bigoted person to disdain a group of people because they crack bad jokes, or to regard the telling of bad jokes as a hallmark of moral inferiority.
It is bigoted and small-minded to think that another culture is less worthy than your own because you perceive their otherwise benign humor as less witty.
You're also dense and ignorant to fail to realize that allergies are caused by immune dysfunction; since all forms of life have immune systems, it is logical to conclude that all animals have the potential to develop allergies. Since you had not heard the punchline and therefore did not realize he was telling a joke at that point in the dialogue, the implication is that your bigotry caused you to smugly close your mind to whatever "study" he was about to cite.
If it was popular to hate black people, you'd be talking about the science behind the pencil test.
Ultimately, that is the only reason you disdain these people - because you feel it is socially acceptable to make them an object for your morally evil drives. I mean isn't that what you're saying? You "loved it" because "it was so bad". It feels good to be able to tear people down for purely arbitrary reasons, because you can. That is bigotry.
Mindset, not beliefs, is what separates bigots and enlightened people.
