What language do you use? I've seen this post a few times and while I like the idea I also do not generally use religious language. So if you have specific phrases that worked in a more secular context could you please share?
I guess you could call it emotional or therapeutic language. I’ve said “I hope you find more empathy in yourself someday” or “I’m sorry to see you can’t be more kind.” I think also you could say “I’m sorry to see hate is so deep in your heart” but that felt a bit extreme to me in the conversations I was having.
I think the ultimate point is just to take the focus off whether or not X group deserves rights -- it assumes that they do and that in asserting they don’t, the other person is behaving badly. So it’s a lot about “Hey, you aren’t exactly being a nice person here.” Kindness, empathy, and compassion aren’t exclusive to any specific faith.

I can see times and dates on the queue page fine? weird font and labeling but it's there. Do you have other add-ons that might be messing with the updates?
Not on the queue side, but shit is changing so fast that perhaps I’ve got a bug you don’t. I just have times and days of the week, no dates, but a little calendar icon to say “this is scheduled”.

I think that offering your essay to someone else working on a research/library science degree, essentially offering it as a reverse engineering project, would be fascinating.
I mean, it’s free to a good home. If I were doing a degree program of some kind I would 100% work on it -- I just lack the time and in some cases the resources. My last job had JSTOR access and this job doesn’t, which is the unkindest cut :D
