I need a good reason against angering the citizen hive mind and eliminating my only source of meat shields, so yes and no :|

Well, I have heard equal share of nonsense from real worshippers of certain (mostly monotheistic) religions. It does not strike me so odd - in cults, reason and critical thinking must go down the drain.
Blessed are those who feast on my flesh and drink of my blood.

Sounds about right to any reasonable DF player.

Efficiency and esotericism are the true facets of alignment; not good and evil, for both good and evil are subjective. Good and evil are simply chaos -- and order is their absence.

never got there, but they offer you food and drink (bread and water or was it wine) which is supposedly christs blood and flesh.

That was the whole point.  Observe it closely enough and Christianity is all-around terrible.  I assume the same for all serious religions as well, but I can't say I've spent much time around the others, so I'm not going to throw those stones.

Ready, aim, fire?

They're all pretty much just as bad.

DF needs an actual religious system, though, so we can mock reality even more for managing to be more horrifying than DF.

Oh heavens no. The pair of you, you've managed to offend someone it would seem. Shock, horror!
I bet you're both absolutely mortified.

Hm? Catholicism places great importance on symbolic cannibalism and split with the various Protestant demoninations because of disputes over (among other things) corruption and idolatry, Buddhism was a major factor in the development of the Silk Road, Islam considers visual depictions of religious individuals and events to be wrong and has a strong emphasis on respect for merchants because it developed in trading hubs, Confucianism isn't really a religious, contrary to popular belief, etc. etc.

Stating facts or presenting things as they are shouldn't be offensive, unless the bare facts are so detestable as to be offensive.  ???

Hm... so these monotheistic religions are "cults," and of course the stock implication that they are devoid of reason and critical thinking, not to mention the term "nonsense."

Next was a post saying "Yup, I'm totally going to identify a major world religion with the things that you just said."

Then another saying "Yeah, and all the other ones too."

Bigotry does not require that one make only untrue statements, nor that one think one is doing anything other than "stating facts." For example, what you said was not evidence of bigotry. The things above, though, certainly smell like it - because of what the posters assumed qualified as "obvious facts."
