So does that mean that actively disliking homosexuality (which I'd certainly argue is bigotry, especially when sexual orientation is not a choice) because of faith is more defensible in nature and should be tolerated because it's not a blind belief?
I know I'm probably missing something because I don't think that's what you're saying.
Actively hating or being intolerant of someone based on their sexual actions/exploits is wrong... But that's not what Christianity teaches (or should in any event).... Actively hating or being intolerant of someone based on their Faith/Religious following is wrong.... which is what I had a beef with (double standard)
If you are trying to equate any type of faith.... directly to bigotry... we don't have a real discussion (not that you are, just seems that's the road you are looking to go down).... The faith based stuff I was taught (as a young Catholic) was not based on hate or intolerance... It was based on morality... just like the (morality based) 10 commandments people generally don't follow... but have generally become the law of the land.
I know homosexual people, friends, and family.... I love them... I don't "just tolerate them", they were born that way.... I have devout Christian friends and family.... I love them... I don't "just tolerate them", they were raised that way.
