I have little or no patience for small- minded bigots...

What you say here is quite ironic.

The whole "essentiality" of bigotry is intolerance (or perceived intolerance).

And yet when we don't have patience for others, guess what? (We lack tolerance.)

The same thing that fuels REAL bigotry -- intolerance...
... (& let's face it, "bigotry" has often become simply a trump card used to hammer others who disagree with them) ...
...is the same thing that fuels impatience -- lack of tolerance.

So basically you seem to be saying that your lack-of-patience type of intolerance is a-okee-dokie...
..but others' brand of "intolerance" is problematic...

Big difference between "tolerance" - which is generally my position of choice - and allowing falsehoods and calumny against the faith I love.

Would you stand by and let people lie about or insult your faith?
