Probably because you seem to think that any argument/criticism against the Church is "bigotry."

Perhaps because you seem to wish to exempt religions or religious belief (especially LDS) from criticism.

Unfair and dishonest criticism (like Rich's website)? Everyone should be exempt from that.

Disagree. Who judges what is "unfair and dishonest"? This seems like an arbitrary designation.

Why is it unfair, all Rich did was show inconsistencies in JW teaching using what they've published.

Simon,
You think religions should be exempt from criticism, and advise people to talk about their own faiths instead of attacking others. So, I put Contra Belmont in the title.
