I am saying bigotry is evil. Make of it whatever you wish.

I don't wish to "make" anything of it - I just want you to clarify yourself. Are you saying that to have mean unreasonable thoughts about someone is morally equivalent to being a pedophile - whether they just "think" about it, visit sick websites, advise others how to do it, and/or do it themselves?

In my view (reality) the two are like comparing stealing penny candy and robbing old ladies out of their life savings while beating them up. Both are crimes, but can't compare morally.

That is not for me to decide.

The bigots know who they are. The bigots know the coldness of their own hearts. The bigots' hatereds will lead them to lead lives that parallel their mean spirits. The bigots will face their ultimate judgements before God.
