[Avodah] Hating a Meisis to Kefirah [Areivim]

[Doron Beckerman]

R' Micha Berger asks for a source that Meisis to Kefirah is worse than
Meisis to Avodah Zarah.

That Kefirah is worse than AZ is in the Rambam's Iggeres Hashmad and in the
Ibn Ezra to Parshas Yisro. That it is so regarding hating a Meisis, I have
some indirect sources based on the above, but it is Mefurash Yotzei Mipi
Kohen Gadol in Chofetz Chaim Hilchos Rechilus Klal 1 in Beer Mayim Chaim 9
that Moshe Rabbeinu hated Dasan and Aviram based on hating a Meisis - Al
Achas Kamah V'Kamah based on Ki Bikesh L'hadichachah. He is very explicit
that the Mitzvah D'Oraysa is not limited to AZ per se.

R' Micha Berger asks:

>>  Applicability? Who preaches that there is more than one god, but one
of them went to Moshe in the midbar, taught him kol haTorah kulah,
including TSBP, etc... and you must keep the deRabbanans, etc...
Everyone who incites to AZ also incites to other forms of heresy. <<

 I could think of forms of AZ B'shittuf, plus Stam inciting someone to give
in to his Taava in the times of Bayis Rishon.

Applicability L'maaseh - Daat Emet.
