You have the pope and virtually every other major organized religion actively working to deny basic human rights to entire classes of people for thousands of years up to and including murdering them.

Kinda funny how we have some who fuck up while trying to lecture others on what tolerance is while simultaneously acting as cheerleader for some of the most no-shit intolerant motherfuckers on earth.
