LGBT Americans Are Less Religious Than Non-LGBT Americans, But Not Across The Board: Report

11. I could understand that if it was a mild divergence. This case is an entire role reversal.

Otherwise, I would not have stopped and asked.

You tell me if my tone was an attack or attempt to humiliate. I will link to my own post.

That seems pretty mellow to me.

Edit: Sorry, you said you can't view it. Excerpt:

"You can see examples of it in the religious left right here in this folder. People who have faith, but have let go of religious doctrine that is today understood to be sexist, misogynistic, or homophobic, etc.

No controversy, no headline.

"The religious fundamentalists have succeeded in gaining a great deal of power. What shall we do to counter that. I agree with the author that we essentially pave the way for them at times."

The only way for the religious left to change a 'faith' that includes doctrine of the sort I mentioned, really, is to leave it and find greener pastures in keeping with their faith.

Members of the catholic church that find something as un-controversial as contraceptives as acceptable, is actually HIGHER than the average US citizen's acceptance of same. Members of the RCC appear to have very little pull to change the official doctrine of the church on contraceptives.

If you can't change it, and individuals seek to either change it, or find other faith communities in which their values are respected, they are under no obligation to stay put and suck it up, where they can neither change it, or feel welcomed for their values. It would be a special kind of sadistic torture for outsiders to demand they do so."
