The reality is that everyone is tolerant of bigotry, it just depends on their moral belief of whether or not that bigotry is justified. You demonstrate this wonderfully here. You demonstrate a clear cut intolerance of those that share a different opinion than yourself, as have others on this thread. However, you morally feel your bigotry is justified because you feel the target of your bigotry is morally bad...thus it justifies your bigotry to you.
Which is frankly no different than the staunch christians who justify their bigotry towards homosexuality. They too, just like you, base it off their own moral view and code and judge the situation based on that.
That's the funy thing when people throw out words like bigotry or discrimination or other such things as some kind of universal "bad" word. They're not inherently bad, it largely depends on the context and view point of the individual doing them and how they justify it in their own minds.
No, bigotry is not "demonstrably wrong"....your clear, unquestioned, indisputable bigotry on display currently that you've defended and proclaimed as just is a shining example of a contradiction between what you said above and what you've said earlier in this thread.
You are acting completely and utterly bigotted...and you've declared that bigotry to be completely okay because it's aimed at something you find to be "demonstrably wrong". Therefore showing that you DON'T believe bigotry, in and of itself, is demonstrably wrong.
Very intuitive to pick up the double standard. It's a common practice for extremists to justify their condemnation of something with the same methods, not noting the hypocrisy.
