I hate it when my girlfriend's overly right-wing parents disaprove of us seeing each other, just because I happened to need new roommates and my new ones are a lesbian couple.
I have been there with parents that are right wing and/or bible bound.
There is a passage in the bible that is a good quote to reach back on people that use the bible as a means to judge and impart their desires on another person(s).
Matthew 5:46...
?For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?..."
The idea is by showing the wrong doers compassion and love you may be able to convice rather than force. Since Jesus taught this his followers may be more inclined to at least give you your oppertunity to show "love" in the effort to save (whether to save is your intent or not). It may also show that your compassion is not combative to the right wing belief, but rather a be kind to your fellow man mentality.
No persons in polite society like to admit that they are not compassionate especially when countered with the idealism they hold.
Just a thought.
