Singer quits Mormon Tabernacle Choir rather than sing for Trump

83. You are comparing an apple to a field of pineapples

both have "apple" in it but that's as far as it goes.

I was brought up in a Christian fundy household so I know all about the kind of insidious indoctrination that takes place in the human mind. To require this person to go all the way or no way at all is asking a lot. What do you want her to do that would be good enough? Publically denounce the religion of her family and friends? When you are ensconced in a dominant religion you are conditioned to think of yourself as following principles that define you as a good person. Its not a simple break. For her to stand up to this one clear principle in her mind, is a lot in and of itself. Baby steps. It was a brave move, who knows who else in that 'faith' will be encouraged by her move and back her up. Also in the bigger picture, what she did would perhaps help a young Mormon to question that 'faith'. So what she has done may have deeper outcomes no matter what.
