Main Entry: big·ot Pronunciation: \ˈbi-gət\ Function: noun Etymology: French, hypocrite, bigot Date: 1660 : a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance — big·ot·ed \-gə-təd\ adjective — big·ot·ed·ly adverb _________________________________________ If the shoe fits... You say, "one is not a "bigot" for questioning it. Nor are we "bigots" for steadfastly believing the word of God, and not the word or opinions, of men." We tell you we have a DIFFERENT standard than yours, and you continue to attempt to hold us to yours. Pointless, and bigoted.

Please stop with the personal attacks and don’t make this thread about me.

Bigot:

a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices

It's interesting because Liberals use the same pejorative against Conservatives. Essentially what they are saying is that we hate your principled position.

Once again we note how Romanists fall back on liberal mantras.

"a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance"

Sounds exactly like the handful of more rabid Catholics here (not all of the Catholics for sure!).

Yes, you do have different standards than we do, but ours are accepted as inspired by the Holy Spirit, almost universally, while yours are from the minds of men, and have changed numerous times over the 1600 years since they began. When I look at the posts of rabid Catholics I don't see bigots; I see fear that their man made system of salvation is crumbling.

If the word of God is a source of bigotry, give me bigotry.
