Harry and Donny need to read this.


Transexualism is not mentioned in the bible, **** for brains.

I like the first two paragraphs-

“Some would argue that the Bible says nothing about the explosion of
the transgender phenomenon in the Western world. After all, there is
no verse that says, “Thou shalt not transition from a man to a woman.”
But neither are there any verses that talk explicitly about gun
violence, anorexia, waterboarding, fossil fuels, vaccines, GMOs, HMOs,
or Pokemon Go. We should not expect the Bible to speak in 21st century
terms to every 21st-century eventuality.

But that hardly means the Bible provides no guidance for Christians
trying to make sense of our transgender moment. In fact, when it comes
to transgenderism, the Bible actually has a lot to say—not by a
prooftext here or there but by a rich and pervasive understanding of
gender and sexual identity.”






Pfffft. You Christians treat the bible like a cafeteria...believe this,
pick that, ignore those...it's a handy document. Transgenderism is an
easy issue for you fellas.


Yet you were the one who pointed out that transexualism is not mentioned
in the Bible (with the added emphasis of "**** for brains").

Who's cherry picking it?

The bible does say to go forth and multiply, very difficult for the
LGBTQ community.


I don't know about that. Don't know how but they sure seem to be
growing in population now-a-days.

I do agree that some of it is just that more people feel comfortable
coming out now. The gay people I knew in the 80s always said there
were lots of deeply closeted people out there, simply afraid to come
out. The most radical of them gave huge numbers for the percentages,
way up in double digits. I just wrote it off as believing gay people
think everyone else is gay. They just don't know it yet.



We know a gay couple who just had a baby, the old fashioned way. Ergo,
they went forth and multiplied.
