Is fiscal conservatism not Christian?

Although, be prepared to be called a bigot.

If one exhibits bigotry, one should expect to be called on it.

Of course, if one exhibits bigotry, wouldn’t that be a cause for the moderators to step in?

You could use the report a post button, instead of taking the law into your own hands, and being your own judge,jury and executioner.

Wouldn’t this be the prudent thing to do?

The prudent thing would be not to make posts that attack or denegrate any particular socio-economic class, religion or ethnic group.

The prudent thing would be to respect authority. If you think someone is a bigot, you publicly say so, and neither the moderators nor the rest of the posters support your hypothesis, then that ought to at least make you wonder whether in fact you are really right.

If you claim a poster is a bigot, and the nobody else says a word, why should that poster believe that you are the only one who is correct?

A bigot can never admit his bigotry.

In your own words, you admitted that the term you used was likely to be offensive.

And you know that envy is one of the seven deadly sins.

This is true, and this is how I learned that you are a bigot. You are prejudiced against anyone who dares to question what you condiser to be orthodoxy.

Notice that in that in this entire discussion of bigotry, you have not allowed even the most remote possibility that you could be wrong. Now, either you are infallible, or given the evidence, there is at least a chance that you might be wrong. You refuse to even admit that chance, that is exactly your criteria for determining a bigot.

As far as envy, I fail to see how that is relevant.

I rest my case.

I did look at the evidence, and I admitted so. I was proctoring an exam and I thought about your claim. I even waited over 24 hours to reply to you, so I gave myself plenty of time to consider the evidence. The result is, you are the only person on the board, on other boards, in my life who has called me bigotted against the extremely rich. Like I said, this is a moderated board, so bigotry is not something one can get away with here. So to truthfully I have considered the evidence.

Now, the question to you is: How much time have you spent considering whether or not you might be wrong?

Ah, you call process “evidence.” A murderer who gets away with it isn’t a murderer.

I always examine my actions – and I can truthfully say I am not prejudiced against any socio-economic class, religion or ethnic group.

But you can’t. And the evidence – and it’s real evidence – is your discussion of the “filthy rich.”

Perhaps this is a board that allows bigots to get away with bigotry. I don’t think this is to be case, but perhaps I have everyone else fooled.
