Re: Jesus Christ, dude

There is a difference, fbp, between "views" and bigotry. There is a difference between disagreement about politics, religion, philosophy, etc., and disagreement about whether or not minorities should be afforded full human rights.

I am not saying, and have never said, that you should not associate with someone because of his views. I am saying that you should not associate with someone because of his bigotry. Do not conflate bigotry with garden-variety ideology.

And being intolerant of bigotry is in no way worse than the bigotry itself. I would argue that it is, in fact, far better.
