NOTE:I’m posting this in the Interfaith Discussion forum, which is not a debate forum. What I’m asking for here is helpful ideas for people on all sides of this issue.
I’ll start with an example of what I would not do. I would not quote anti-homosexuality clobber verses in the middle of a discussion about prejudice and discrimination against gays.
Sometimes people see and feel some beliefs as hurtful and injurious to them. What Ideas do you have for those people who feel hurt and injured? What ideas do you have for people who honestly and sincerely believe those things? What ideas do you have for other people who are concerned about those issues?
One of my ideas for people who honestly and sincerely believe things that people sometimes see and feel as hurtful and injurious to them, is to read some of their stories. Another is to spend some time with some of them side-by-side, in some kind of community service.
