She doesn't "back" the church, she's a member of the church. You need not respect her beliefs (no one need respect anyone's belief, contrary to popular assertion), but you should respect her.
That was way, way, way over the line. C_L is a respected member of this community.
And you are?
Respect is earned Tiger, I can not and will not respect anybody who gives credence to such an organization. And btw stick your community up your arses.
Thank you for making my point. C_L has earned our respect through the kindness of her heart, her willingness to get to know us as people instead of just "the opposition", and her willingness to reconsider her position (sometimes-- she doesn't always agree, of course).
You, on the other hand, have come in here as a Nobody and attacked someone who has already earned our respect. When it was pointed out to you that you're new and you're attacking a person who has earned respect from everyone else here, you chose to double down and attack all of us.
As my Drill Instructor once pointed out, "Son, if everyone else seems to be marching out of step, it's probably you."
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
