CMV: Someone having a moderately bad view does not make them a bad person.

I see a lot of things like "X person is racist/sexist/homophobic for this one comment!" And while these things may be true, I don't believe that holding a certain belief (to an extent) makes you a bad person. 

Say someone says "Fuck the Jews. They control everything, hold all the money, and fuck things up. They should die." That person is a bad person, because that belief is indication of further bigoted views.

But someone saying "Yeah, I think being gay is a choice. I don't support it." Is very different, obviously. One person says people should die, the other says they don't like a facet of a person's character or personality (that's not the best wording, but you know what I mean.)

Obviously there's a line where things get really bad, like once anyone advocates for violence that's a good sign they're not a great person. But someone saying something like "I don't like gay people," while a shitty belief, isn't necessarily an indicator of that person being a bad person.

First: Someone having a moderately bad view makes them a moderately bad person in the same way that having an atrociously bad view makes them an atrociously bad person.

Being "bad" is not binary. 

Your badness as a person is pretty much proportional to the badness of your views combined with your willingness to act on them. That's entirely natural and hardly controversial. 

Second: Each individual will have a different threshold for how "bad" someone must be before they feel like they must take some kind of action, and that action will likely be proportional to how bad that individual thinks the view (and actions) really are. 

And that's *also* entirely natural and uncontroversial. 

I find it hard to believe that anyone could disagree with anything about either of those things.
