NYT journalist calls aversion to Mormonism “bigotry”
In an article titled “What Is It About Mormonism?” NYT Magazine writer Noah Feldman says (emphasis mine):
Elsewhere, the reasons for the aversion to Mormons are harder to pin down — bigotry can be funny that way — but they are certainly not theological.
So Feldman, is aversion to liberalism, conservatism, Marxism and libertarianism considered bigotry? Because that’s the logical conclusion one has to make, based on his assertion that aversion to a belief system is bigotry.
NYT editors should have caught that and taken it out. It’s really time that journalists stop treating religion with kid gloves and start covering it the same way they cover any political or moral belief system.
Amen!
but but but you use logic…
see that doesn’t work in punditry arguments….
