When non dualists uphold the idea of Oneness ( equality of Lord Shiva to Lord Vishnu to Brahman), only from such PoV or philosophy it holds good ( and should that equality be expandable to anything and everything).
Who has better moral and or not is only the level of maturity and understanding of their very own following and faith! No point or merit assuming a Dualist or realist insulting the highest Bhaktha in the hierarchical order when such equality is in fact insult to the Supreme from their PoV. ( Its not the case of just Lord Shiva being equal to Lord Vishnu... this is true for Shaivaites who uphold Lord Shiva as Supreme and no for them Lord Shiva is not equal to Lord Vishnu). How about respecting their philosophy and not teaching morality etc. when your pov alone creates conflicts?
