As with so many other things, Bronies are victimized because the free will belief compels others to blame them for being Bronies. Aside from there being nothing wrong with being a Bronie, as we overcome the free will belief we will lose all logical reason to blame and target those we believe are doing something wrong.

America has a huge problem with bigotry though, I can just tell that you have to battle off prejudiced people on a regular basis, perhaps not you personally but on behalf of some people you know or hearing examples of it on the news, of course every country has its issues, but some hate groups like to use the US constitution as a free ticket to belittle others. Kind of like what the Westboro Baptist Church were doing, you know they say it is justified that their God tortures somebody forever in a hereafter for not following their belief system, I don't hate them now, I just hate what religion does to people and I want the suffering to stop.

Just as there is no such thing as free will, there is also no such thing as free religion. I don't know if there is a way for religion to be free from the causal past of hatred and violence.

America has a huge problem with bigotry It boggles the mind to realize that there could be absolutely no bigotry without free will belief. I think free will belief is by far the most hateful and harmful belief humanity has ever devised.

If I didn't believe that free will was the most harmful belief, I would not have gotten in the business of refuting it. George, your shows seem to cover just about every possible harm that comes from blaming others for what they can't control.

I think free will belief is by far the most hateful and harmful belief humanity has ever devised. The UK has had a history of it as well, I remember a video of Question time with Richard Dawkins and it being mentioned that in the past it was illegal to be a homosexual here, yes ridding ourselves of this free will paradigm will lift this unnecessary hatred. I'm curious though why would the universe fate us to be so antagonizing toward one another? then again nature doesn't care for good or evil because it isn't a person.

George, your shows seem to cover just about every possible harm that comes from blaming others for what they can't control. The white supremacy groups and WBC can't help who they are, you know I used to hate Fred Phelps because he set a very bad example for the USA and its people, with his horrific ideas that gay people deserve to be tortured in hell for eternity, that is horrible. Obviously I didn't hate all Americans otherwise I would not be showing compassion to you and a couple of others I speak to on Skype from time to time, I try hard not to generalize Americans though because I've had a few tiffs with some in the past who were quite arrogant, one of them sent me death threats (which I still have a screen cap of and showed to police) of a very stupid man who called me and my friends a pedophile (which he clearly doesn't know the definition of) just because he didn't agree with a discussion in relation to the age of consent we have in Britain, that I mentioned on a friends Facebook profile, I know states in USA have it 18, but we have it 16 where I'm from and it has been that way since before I was born.

The Westboro Baptist Church is a fine example of how freedom of religion allows for people to get away with things that they could not do without it. I don't think I ever hated Fred Phelps but I wish someone had stopped him from starting such a terrible church.

I don't hate him now but I agree, he shouldn't have been allowed to hide behind the US 1st amendment because he was promoting hate crime through the media. It just isn't the same thing as allowing jokes or innuendos in cartoons, most people don't take those seriously but when you preach a religion that has the knock on effect of brainwashing and it is dangerous.
