(5,018 posts)if at all. Namely, don't think about it, put your fingers in your ears, and go LALALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU. Also, never respond to relevant points made. Actually, just ignore them, pretend they aren't there. That's what I see religious people do day in and day out, and the leaders of those organizations have to become experts in self-delusion or selective thinking. Indeed, just make "self-evident" proclamations.
Here is an organization that is explicitly misogynist and homophobic. I said that there is no compelling or good reason to join such an organization, much less be in a leadership role in it. Your response? Well, you didn't have one really, not to that point, just snark. Par for the course really. And you won't have a response to that point. It's in your interest to ignore that point and attack me, because that position is defenseless.
Heck, I'd do the same if I worked for an organization that explicitly discriminates against women and homosexuals and was just doing it for a living, not because I believed that shit.
The only difference is that religious privilege allows people to think there's a big difference between joining one bigoted organization over another, as long as the bigotry comes from a religion, well, people don't question you much about it. But, that's starting to change. Your non-response is the usual.
