That is not compatible with live and let live. That I reference the worst of them does not make the lesser ones innocent. Just lesser. Half bad is still bad. So is a quarter. Or any fraction.

And trusting them to “live and let live” which in their frame of reference might doom others to some purgatory or other, isn’t as valid an option as you make out.
