Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | June 4, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article author, while conceding that this would be a rather late hour in which to express surprise at the intense bitterness which bigots manifest toward heretics, is surprised to find in many cases the same sort of all-embracing and dogmatic hate upon the part of the heretics. It is much more logical for a bigot to be bigoted than for a so-called freethinker. But even the atheists seem to have creeds, by- laws, and a leaning toward at least an intellectual inquisition. The author believes that there is a certain unscientific thoughtlessness in such rationalists as hop up and down and utter fierce cries whenever the supernatural is mentioned.
