Every religious faith has to negotiate between the mores of the society in the era and its scripture.

Jesus is now a brand, as we can see in thr juxtaposition of the He Gets Us Jesus and the mores actively practiced by those who promote and finance the HGU campaign.

I respect the identities of parishioners. I respect that they have beliefs. I respect when their principles are consistently held.

But once they are a danger to themselves or others, I cannot any longer afford that respect.

That’s okay.

“You can’t do that because of my religion”

Not okay.

Respect the person but their religion is their own game. Boundaries!
