but that's not what I'm here for. Regardless of your view on that word, what they did was wrong, and is certifiably hurting people and doing the opposite of the stated intent, which is what I'm basing things off of.

If there's anything that heals religious wounds it's oppressing people. Just look at how the closest we've come to mending the great schism is the shared hatred of LGBTQIA people.
