Religion
In reply to the discussion: What Mormonism teaches me about religion [View all]Yes, I have made up my mind.
I have decided that I think it's unethical for people who know that women aren't second-class citizens, or who know that homosexuals deserve the right to enter into family contracts just as heterosexuals do to associate with those institutions because their association continues to lend power to that organization.
Nothing you have said counters that. The only thing you have said is this is personal, that there are progressive and liberals who choose to associate with organizations that, at the level of the exercise of that entity's power in this world - choose to oppress people.
Because they choose to continue such an association, it's okay that they do, because they do. That's the argument.
Those who think they are operating from an ethical foundation are operating from cultural and social conformity and comfort.
