I've said this many times before. I absolutely refuse to be tolerant of the intolerant. It is tolerance of the intolerant that allows bigotry and hatred to thrive.
If I were open-minded and accepting of people that insulted people of other races, genders or sexual preference I'd not be "enlightened" but rather an enabler and an accomplice to the continuation of thousands of years of hatred.
As I said further up this page, there is NO justification, religious or otherwise, for treating someone as less than an equal. None. And if that makes me evil in your eyes, so be it.
