EvF
Someone who has no convictions is more biogted than someone who has because he who has none can always change his mind at any time to win an argument whereas a person with convictions has to keep some integrity because he has to defend that stable conviction, so he cannot be bigoted to the same extent

I just thought I'd pop in and say that you are not defining the word 'Bigoted' correctly in your explanation.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online Wrote:Main Entry: Bigot
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

EvF is correct. Your signature quote gets it backwards.
