The fact that you think there is ever a "good" reason to be bigoted is a little worrying...
There isn't any reason to be bigoted. In fact it goes against reason as Ayn Rand very clearly illustrates:
Like every form of determinism, racism invalidates the specific attribute which distinguishes man from all other living species: his rational faculty. Racism negates two aspects of man’s life: reason and choice, or mind and morality, replacing them with chemical predestination.

The "good" part was a moralisation on the part of the bigot.

That Vicki Moberg creature? Her good reason was that she was a victim of a violent crime.
The black nationalists in this country? Oh, it is because the ancestors of white people did horrible stuff.
Leftist in the US? Oh, it is because of slavery.
Leftists: Oh it is because you have the gall to have more money.

And all the LGBT activists that are bigoted towards conservatives?
If someone told me that my lifestyle (that causes no harm to anyone else) was an abomination I would have some fairly strong words to say about that person' views... But not all conservatives believe that about homosexuals do they...?

So if I tell someone that their viewpoint is wrong that qualifies as bigotry in your book?
You defended their bigotry, right after you said there is never a good reason to do so. When called out on it you wriggle around to make their behavior not what it is.

They hate religious conservatives purely because they are religiously conservative..... bigotry.

All the arguments/debates are anyway irrelevant - he's been found guilty of contempt of court and the law must now take its course.

Troll elsewhere, criticizing someone else's opinions or ideas is not bigotry.

No, hating them for it and discriminating against them because of it is though.

Following your logic, hating someone's ideas without hating him/her personally..... not bigotry?

That's not what he said, you took what he said and twisted into he thinks there are good reasons.

His post wasn't clear in my view, I questioned him and he clarified in a later post, a response which I "liked" to show i got his actual meaning.

It was clear, I replied to you before I read his later post. I can't see any other to interpret it unless english is not your first language.

All the religious expert atheists gathering again.... :laugh: :ROFL:

When it comes to basic knowledge about what different religions teach, Jews and atheists know more than every kind of Christian.

Perhaps follow the whole exchange before jumping in with your righteous indignation next time...

Cute, he could very easily have said the following...

Point was, people, regardless of religion/race etc will always come up with a good reason to be bigoted.

Makes the point as he was trying to make it, "people come up with their own reasons to justify their bigotry" adding the "good" in there makes it sound like that these reasons might be valid in his view...

That explains their obsession with religion. Also good to know it comes from a friendly atheist. :ROFL:
