so should Christians abandon other religious conviction to stop bullying?

If you can show that kids born out wedlock are bullied more than kids who are not should the church stop preaching against it? How about teenage pregnancy? Should the church stop preaching against teenage pregnancy simply because the teen moms get harassed?
Speaking out against bullying is great. It is major problem in our schools and not just for gay students. On the other hand if you want to stump your feet hurl insults and demand that people change their religious beliefs simply because you don’t like them you really can’t be surprised if they ignore you.
