In reply to the discussion: LGBT Americans Are Less Religious Than Non-LGBT Americans, But Not Across The Board: Report [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)I would link you to the original thread, but that caused some sort of kerfuffle last time, but no, it was not my intent to suggest they were comfortable with it. In fact, they are not. As I also posted, Catholics poll in higher approval of contraceptives than the general public. (In fact, that was one of the topics.) My suggestion was, rather than attempt to change the church from within, why not simply re-subscribe to another faith that is in keeping with their values.
It does not seem a controversial suggestion, and Cbayer's point above about not blaming them for leaving, which I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with, seems to indicate she agrees with the principle behind my statement.
I want to know why mine was objectionable, yet hers is, to her, acceptable.
I didn't even suggest they leave religion entirely, as the people in Cbayer's example have done, I suggested they just find one that is amenable to their values instead.
