Piety’s effect is to refuse questions, we are so pious we would not deign to answer you

Piety a secular transcendence  so claimed by the Liberal, Demorcratic.Progressivesis not quite the same as respect or understanding. 

Piety’s effect is to refuse questions i.e when you have an argument with a left leaning it is not long before they will resort to the ad hominen of name calling, bigot, racist, homophobe, et al.

Best to just walk away.
