It's typical of liberals to feel superior to others and look down their noses at people. X has written his bigotry down for the internet to see.

I tend to look down my nose at people who believe in the Tooth Fairy or that if you make an ugly face, God will "freeze" it like that forever.
Many people have silly beliefs. It is not bigotry to observe that people have such silly beliefs. You can believe that an aspirin in a bottle of Coca-Cola will make you high, but after trying it and observing that it does no such thing, a smarter person passes off such folk beliefs as useless.
If there are no jobs in a mining town after the mine runs out of ore, you coule take up hunting and perhaps save a bit on the food bill, but praying for Jesus to bring back the mine is quite unlikely to make anything positive happen. I suppose if everyone gets together at church to pray for this, and they all bring a covered dish, the food that people can afford might be more equitably distributed, but the chances that hunting and prayer will restore a once-prosperous mining town to its past glory are pretty slim. To point this out is in no way bigoted, it is just a factual observation.
Flint Michigan was once a prosperous and thriving manufacturing town, but then GM closed one factory after another and those who have not left are not prospering at all any longer. No amount of hunting or Jesus will restore Flint. The choices are to stick around and be poor or sell out for whatever you can get to move away.
Every once in a very long while, some smaller town finds a new lease on life. But as a rule this is never the result of either prayer nor superior marksmanship.
I have observed the following: when something remarkably good happens, there are always those who attribute the good fortune to Jesus. Let a major disaster (a tornado, a hurricane, a volcanic explosion, a terrorist attack, whatever) and the same individuals will invariably be thanking Jesus for not being utterly wiped out.
"Jesus be praised, I lost my family, my home, my community, my dog, my cat and my clothes. Lord be praised! "
That sort of thing.
I do not find it bigoted in the least to say that this seems like rather illogical behavior to me. I tend not to atribute good fortune or bad luch to Jesus or God myself. Usually there is a discernable cause. When there isn't, it seems to me that there are many phenomena that are not yet explicable with the senses that we have.
I would not personally point out to such a person that they are being illogical, but it is not bigoted in the least to simply make the observation that this seems to be somewhat illogical behavior.
Pointing this out is simply an astute observation. It could be made by a Liberal, a Communist, or William F. Buckley himself.
When we left vile diseases like leprosy up to God and prophets to cure, at the end of the day, we still had lepers.
Smart people have determined how to cure and prevent leprosy, and we don't have any lepers in our midst. I am not opposed to those who say that God might have had a hand in causing smart people to research leprosy and find a cure, but when we left the whole problem up to Jesus and God... we still had lepers.
