""If we've legislated politeness, and legitimized the idea that disagreeing with somebody could potentially hurt their feelings, why bother to discuss anything?" asks the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE)."

it's a good question and applies here.

One can always appeal to "Big Daddy" to salve bruised feelings. Just pray a little harder. :)

Christianity isn't propaganda? That's news to me. Remember, there are no elected representatives in the pulpit. Same with all the other top down religions.

Science is not involved in bruised feelings. That's the problem of those who suffer from them. Not true apparently with religionists.
