    It’s almost like “hate the sin” means “judge people” which is something god did politely ask us not to do.

      God: Judge not lest ye be Judged.

      Evangelicals: So anyways, I started Judgeing.

        The only thing I will say is that this can be a bridge behavior. If we at least get them to think with love and caring. If they believe I am going to hell, I at least want them to feel like they wouldn’t do the same if they were in charge

        In the internet and isolated from people who have different beliefs, it’s easy to forget that compromise is the only way forward without violence. In this case, not compromising freedom nor equality, but what you’re willing to tolerate in someone else’s beliefs

          Ok and we shouldn’t be willing to tolerate someone believing LGBT+ is dirty or sinful. That’s a belief that causes much harm. Imagine a trans child having to grow up in a home with parents who tell them it is a sin. LGBTphobia leads to abuse, all the time, so we should not tolerate it.

          Saying we should simply compromise is some blind privilege if I’ve ever seen it.

          I do not know how to explain to you that there can be no compromise between someone who wants to do or be a thing and a person who wants to make doing/being that thing illegal

            There’s space between “it’s against my religion” and “make it illegal for everybody else”. Compromise is the former and leaving it at that

          In my experience the bigots tend to view it as a bridge the other way. It let’s them feel like they care whilst still pushing a destructive agenda. There is no compromise on the table, they just want you to submit.
