Bingo.

I'd like to point out that the OP is about as far from a free-thinker as anyone possibly could be. He doesn't think for himself, he just parrots the propaganda of his particular ideological group. Anyone who disagrees is free to question him on his particular dogmas and watch him get all pissy. It's fun.

Yeah, all Christians believed in a predefined dogma and refuse to change 😕

Yep. That's why for 2,000 years they've remained entirely of one group and one dogma. Oops... no, they haven't.

That definition of freethinking doesn't say you have to believe in "one dogma for 2000 years". It says "ANY DOGMA".

The world would be a better place if everyone including the OP would quit putting down others beliefs.

Meh. I wouldnt worry to much about the OP. My take is this. It's only an insult if a person means it as an insult, like the word "gay".
