[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 74113024, member: 293637"] I can't tell others who don't share my religious principles what to do, but I believe that the basic principle of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a good idea. And so that means, at the very least, treating other people with basic respect. If I am intentionally disrespecting another person, then I'm not loving them, and I am not doing unto them as I would want to be treated. To that end, it almost doesn't matter what one thinks about this pronoun issue--at the end of the day the basic and kind thing to do is to be kind, be respectful, and not be a jerk. At no point, anywhere in the Gospels or the New Testament, is there anything that would suggest it's okay to be a jerk toward people. Justifying being a jerk under the veneer of religious piety is not pious, it's just rank hypocrisy and religious abuse. As a Christian I should never support behavior that is demeaning and dehumanizing toward my neighbor, let alone engage in such behavior. Again, for those outside of my religious tradition--that isn't for me to say. I can only speak from within my own religious tradition on this matter. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
