Oh wow, this is nuts. I guess this guy is a walking evidence FAA does some things right. Sheesh.

That's pretty bigoted.

Read the rest of the thread and my updated post. It's clear that I also believe I must have loyalty to the current government.

See D&C 134:5.

nah, religious zealotry is nuts

I think what people are objecting to is the "rise in its place" narrative.

It's one thing to say "I'd like to move away to another place with more like-minded people" or even "I'd like to influence my country to align better with my own values". Great. Those are both pretty uncontroversial, non-extremist opinions. It's a whole other kettle of fish to believe "My country/city should be replaced by one composed of exclusively like-minded people." Particularly problematic if by like-minded people, you mean followers of a particular religion.

I think you failed to read my comment correctly. I said religious zealotry is nuts. Not referring to a particular person.

Your comment broke the site guidelines either way. If it helps all, I can rephrase the moderation reply like this: Please stop calling names and/or posting flamewar comments to HN, regardless of how nuts something is or you feel it is.

I don't think this distinction makes much difference in this case. It's clear which person people thought was the "religious zealot" and were ganging up on. He also broke the site guidelines badly, of course.
