this is what I said :

I think there is more than enough time to do your bit, even with the plethora of causes that exist in what is IMO a broken world. You don't have to give your life to a cause, but there are plenty of things to be done, even if they're only small.

I emphasize small gestures that are manageable by the average person, and you come out with a hit list that no human could ever meet, and then say I'm a hypocrite. Righto then.

Its a quicker version of the same point.

I could ask, what have you done in your life to......Save the whales?
etc etc etc
Until it gets to the point where you haven't done anything. Then i can call you a hypocrite as you said there was time for all the causes.
There simply isn't and no matter which way you slice it, there is simply too much to care about in the world to focus on it all.

If that's the case, then why not come out and say it, instead of hiding behind some flaky Theological pretense ? It's been obvious all along. All of us are motivated by a need for security, a need to belong, all of us seek validation and acceptance by our tribe and our community. Nobody wants to be ostracized. Being the lone dissenter is worse for some people than being the spare pr1ck at a Jewish wedding. I get it.

Why do they need to? There private life is their own.
Why do they need to justify anything to anyone. They have their opinion and it is what it is.

Do they need to say that when they were younger they were raped by someone while they were wearing a rainbow t-shirt and the rapist commented on the t-shirt and it brings back bad memories and they vowed to never wear anything rainbow again?!

Look, i don't know why they have an issue with something seemingly so easy to go along with, and so beneficial to plenty out there.
I don't understand it, but i don't need to.

The choice is their own....and they are entitled to it.
