No I completely agree they are excuses and it doesn't make my top 20 things to focus on. Everyone doing the inconvenient thing would mean that we at least have a shorter list of things to fix, I can agree with. I accept that some things I focus on could improve "that" as a side affect, but just like in programming we do the work based prioritized, concise, do-able tasks and sort out happy little ghost fixes in the release notes after some testing. I'm not advocating that it doesn't take everyone else's priority, to each their own, and I do think the conversations are worth having globally. It just seems ineffective, perfunctory or premature at this stage socially for me to invest more sacrifices than I do, personally. I'm not going to stop heating my home, or driving a fuel efficient car or boycott business that can't comply with EPA standard because those time efforts are being utilized by things higher in my priority list.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
