"Their" God.

Science is absolutely a god to some.

And science *should* be apolitical and unbiased, but since science is funded by people with biases and agendas, it tends to reinforce those biases and agendas.

If you don't want to see what I post, then ignore me. I don't care what you think about me.

You do care. You love to brag about putting people on ignore. You are fragile

Where does hermaphrodite fall into your view of gender?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Not everyone believes in the Bible or God. And for those of us who do, we're told not to judge. We all make choices in life. The consequences for those choices, if there are consequences, will be decided after we leave this Earth.

I also try to live by what Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence.

It's not up to me to decide how others live their life. I'm responsible for how I live mine.

In the exact same sermon that Jesus said "Judge not", he also said "cast not your pearls before swine", and he wasn't talking about actual pigs, he was talking about humans, along with other times he called groups of humans "vipers" and sometimes "dogs", so calling a spade a spade is not judging in the sense you are thinking, it is having the sense to see things for what they are.

It is a good thing for all of us that we can change if we only choose to. Peter saw that truth in his vision. I have been disgusting degenerate deviant, but I am not and haven't been forca long time. As long as there is breath, there is hope.

See the video...Ben explains it better than me because he is smart.

Would Jesus call others, he merely doesn't understand or believe, FREAKS?

Got a good laugh from that one.

Also...I have repeatedly said that I wholeheartedly believe people have the right to live their lives however they see fit without fear of discrimination or of being hurt.

I don't want to decide how they should live or force my beliefs on them.

I don't believe natural born males should compete against natural born females. It is disgusting that there is even a need to debate about that.

The verse you mention actually means "don't condemn", especially since the next thing to be said was telling us to make judgments.

1“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

6“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

Jesus was saying not to be a hypocrite. Not to make condemning judgments on subjects that you haven't sorted out for yourself. Instead, work your own life out in that area and then offer truth to the other in that area (i.e. don't point out the splinter in your neighbor's eye while the log in yours is blinding you. First, make sure you can see straight, and then by all means offer your neighbor the truth you can see.)

But if you offer truth and it is mockingly refused, wash your hands of them.

Note that Jesus was telling his followers to make the judgments about the specks as well as making judgments about who the dogs and pigs are.

The "Jesus told us not to judge" platitude doesn't hold up to context.

Sorry to double up, but I agree with this to a point. I also agree with the previous allusion to disagreeing with transgender people in an empathic way.

I think that some here are mistakenly assuming that the empathic thing to do is affirm people in their mistakes. And also are making the mistake of believing that to call transgenders "delusional" is unloving or unkind.

It's possible to see their beliefs as a mental illness while having great empathy and love for them. It's possible to refuse to affirm their beliefs and still love them.

I see transgender as a mental illness similar to anorexia. It's a break in reality between what they see/feel and what they are. The loving treatment for anorexia isn't to lovingly help them starve to death, nor do I believe that the loving treatment for transgender is help them disfigure their bodies.

I vehemently disagree with degrading them as freaks, etc...

Science isn't political. Politicians and the media make it political for attention and ratings.

Science is political..science will reach any conclusion that you want...as long as the grant is large enough. JMO

Kind of like the different interpretations of the Bible?

 

[Orange_Crush]

My one caveat is trans people should have to tell anyone they date that they are trans. I don't care if said person has had complete gender reassignment surgery. Any potential romantic partner has the right to know upfront if the person they are about to have a relationship with was born an opposite gender.


And no, that's not happened to me.

The fallacy if religion lies in those words. Tell your neighbor of the truth YOU see, while being nothing more than equal, mortal men. The only reason many on here speak of Christianity is because they were born in the Bible belt and not Afghanistan. Let everyone seek for themselves. Anything else is false hubris.
