I am also not saying that all beliefs are equal, or that you have to agree with them. I disagree with lots of them. I even exhibit Bigotry toward those who believe them. I do try to be honest with myself about it, though.

Intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself. That's the definition, straight out of Oxford.

Primate @ 11/5/2018 11:59

Hatred and intolerance aren't the same thing. Please look at the definition that you both claim to know, yet clearly don't.

definition of a bigot

a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

I have my belief, I let others have their own. I don't hate them or anything.

Not agreeing with somebody isn't bigotry which is what you are basically implying.

Your posts say otherwise

I think you are also missing out on the definition of "tolerate":

Quote

allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of (something that one does not necessarily like or agree with) without interference.

Providing support to <> "tolerance"- I can allow Chick-Fil-A to exist on its own, as well as the organizations that the owners support in turn. I'm not protesting their stores nor attempting to drive them out of business nor screaming for the heads of the owners. Instead, I choose not to eat there and I explain why. Nothing I have done is directly working to disallow the existence of Chick-Fil-A. I'm not "bigoted" against Disney Princess movies because they don't match my interests and I don't spend my money on them. I'm not bigoted against political candidates because I choose not to contribute to their campaigns.

It's OK with me that you want to deny your bigotry. It's a little sad that you are still spinning and nitpicking your original post to justify that bigotry, but you do you.

You are intolerant of creationists and flat earthers. Your earlier statements lumping them into groups and declaring them "stupid and ignorant" make that clear. A fact you still choose to spin and dance around.

Flat earthers are pretty stupid and ignorant.

I agree, and that makes me a bigot.

Wear it like a badge of pride.

How about this- I'll take your definition of bigot once you admit a thumb is a finger.

It's not my definition. It's "the" definition.

That's what I told you about thumb fingers.
