[QUOTE="BuzzStone, post: 209821, member: 2468"] Just one quick definition of Bigot a person who is [URL='http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/obstinate']obstinately[/URL] or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices;[I]especially[/I]: one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance A person can condemn an idea without being a Bigot. I can condemn both religion and climate change based on evidence not opinion. I do this on a regular basis. I see AE87 do this on a daily basis here. I do not think he is a Bigot in any definition. I do not hate nor am I intolerant either. I wish everyone the best no matter which fairy tale they believe in. You can have an discussion based on facts. You can condemn the things that clearly are wrong (ie evolution deniers, young earthers, ext) When someone throws out the Bigot card it is normally because they can not justify their belief and normally it is after being presented with evidence contrary to their belief. Being a part of this board I would hope we all have the intellectual capability to have a discussion on any topic without having our feelings hurt over an internet post either way. [/QUOTE]
