I was reading a recent answer and saw this

There may also be issues of humiliating a person (see Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Chapter 63, which while mostly dealing with business-related deceiving, has several non-business applications)

Having no knowledge on the subject, got me wondering:

Is bigotry prohibited?

    What's "bigotry"? Please better define the action you want to know about.

    8 people upvoted my comment, but none voted to close as Unclear. Why?

  • @DoubleAA, to be fair, I did vote to close, but for a different reason. :) I've seen this on several other stacks as well, I think that since there's a higher threshold for close voting than upvoting a comment (requires 3k rep to close vote), many people end up voting the comment in lieu of a legitimate close vote. May make an interesting meta discussion to see if there is something to be done about it.

  • @DoubleAA By this definition it’s a dupe.

Once you divide the world into the good guys and the bad guys, as we're always the good ones, you simply follow (Teh 97, 10):

"אֹהֲבֵי ה' שִׂנְאוּ רָע"

"O you who love the LORD, HATE evil!"

And from that point on you're free to treat them as you wish.

    What in God's name is this even supposed to mean??? Please don't respond to this question. It was meant to make a point, not to open a dialog.

  • @user6591 Is there something non Halachic in what I said?

  • Um, try again. Not to mention that the passuk you cite says that we should hate evil, not evildoers.

  • @DonielF Right, the Gemmorah in Brochos I think. But the idea is simple - once you mark something as evil you're free to exterminate it. That's how Judaism works.

  • @AlBerko Um, no, it’s not. It never was, it never will be.
