    Something that is to be noted, in America, people often say they are x or y religion but don't follow it at all. There are plenty of people that actually practice but it isn't even close to the 50% or so that the polls or whatever say are religious. The number is a bit smaller.

    I personally am Christian, practice or whatever you want to call it. I see some other posts here talking about hatred and bigotry, Christianity tells us to love one another. I might not like some of the things they do or believe in its legality but we are called to love one another so bigotry and hatred shouldn't exist in the Christian church...so when I see stuff like that, I think of all the people that think they are Christians but are just going to church on Sunday and think that is what gets them into heaven...such poor theology/worldview.

    Rimworld! If you aren't familiar, colony survival simulator after crash landing on a 'rimworld'. Goal is to get off the planet by gathering supplies, researching and creating a spaceship...but hope you don't die to other colonies/tribes on the planet! Art is similar to prison architect but plays drastically different. The unstable beta is 1.0, and regular game is in .8. Game has great mod support if you play on .8 (they regularly updating and testing in 1.0 so most modders don't put the time in yet). Should be out of beta later this year. Best early access game I've played.

    They knelt and then news was all over it. That kinda made it a consistent thing which then had to be responded to. It wasn't the response of owners/NFL that drove them to keep kneeling.

    I honestly don't think I understand what being a 'transaphobe' or 'homophobe' really means. In the person's heart, are you afraid of the individual, afraid of this happening? I personally don't care for the idea of being trans with the whole mutilating your body parts to fit a different mold. By that I mean, its not for me and I don't understand why someone would do it. This doesn't mean I would deny the person to do it...just makes me ask a lot of questions about how that person feels or if they are mentally healthy (not saying they can't be).

    A couple comments to this as a right leaning moderate (I don't know if I can call myself a conservative).

    Anti-Abortion: This topic needs to be narrowed down greatly. To say 'Pro choice' or 'Pro life' often includes a lot of different reasons. If the fetus is pretty much dead (still growing but no brain or brain activity for example), I mean, its not really much of an abortion. Someone chose to have sex and due to irresponsibility got pregnant (or got someone else pregnant), own up to your mistake. Mistakes have consequences, the child didn't make a mistake, don't pass on the consequence. Rape pregnancy...tough topic, but in general, I'm for not aborting the child but don't feel a need to keep the child. Having the chance to live is greater than issue of being a parent.

    Anti-diversity initiatives: I'm unsure what you mean, but if you are talking government initiatives, then its probably more of a financial reason why conservatives disagree...I (as well as most conservatives or people that work for the government) believe that the government can't do anything efficiently (except spend money poorly). In other ways, diversity initiatives alienate people, which is kind of the whole point of having diversity in a social or work atmosphere. I'm a white male, and most of my forefathers had it a lot better than those that weren't, but that doesn't mean that I should be 'punished' in a way to not have access to programs that I would love to be a part of. In essence, it brings together non-white people instead of integrating white people into them. I would assume that a lot of white supremacists would change their attitude if they were integrated into a more diverse atmosphere earlier in their lives. Hopefully a lot of this changes cause I think diversity movements are great but cause a lot of hatred as it becomes 'us vs them' thing instead of creating a common goal.

    LGBT Rights: I find this to be more religious base and being religious myself, I'm not offended (who cares even if I was), or 'anti-LGBT' rights. It just feels weird about calling a religious ceremony resulting in marriage then LGBT using it in a non-religious way...although that happens with M/F couples.

    As for others, time will work these down if people are nice to each other. Rome wasn't built in a day, the slaves weren't freed in a month, communism still isn't defeated (joke).

    I wouldn't say modern conservatism is unable to have respectful discussion...but the alt right could just be chopped off and no one would miss them...just like the alt left. I am very unsure how people feel they are being denied the right to exist. If it is more of 'feeling unhappy', I think we can both agree that right now, no group of people feel happy.
