To all the people saying NO this is wrong…who cares? Intersex people exist PERIOD. It shouldn’t matter how many for them to be treated the same as everyone else.
The Catholic version of Christianity has problems with abuse. The Charismatic version of Christianity has problems with abuse. The southern Baptist version of Christianity has problems with abuse. Maybe it’s not the denomination but Christianity itself?!?
I love it when people find out I am an atheist and they respond by telling me to just ask God if he is real and he will show you…listen and he will speak… sorry but I did that for 25 years…NOTHING
If God forgives our sin, why did he need Jesus to die as payment for our sins? Forgiving a debt and paying a debt are completely different. There are so many holes in this message…
@libbage55
They are against “socialism” until they need it
They are against abortion until they need one
They are against trans/gays until their child is one
They are against gun laws until they lose a loved one
Unless it affects them, THEY DONT CARE.
Our innate human desire is to love and be loved. Christianity comes around and tells us we are undeserving of such love and that we deserve punishment just for being born. This is unnatural and wrong and it has done untold damage to millions and millions of people.

But how is a bathroom rule going to prevent that? If a man wants to go into a woman’s space and assault someone, he doesn’t need permission to be there.
Lots of Xtians calling on prayer for Ukraine. I understand the sentiment, but why do they never stop to think about why a “loving God” would need or require people to beg and beg and beg him to do what almost any of us would do if it was in our power?
One of the most ridiculous and often dangerous parts about religion is that it teaches you love an imaginary being more than any real people in your life. Your partner, kids, family, and friends all take a backseat to your love and dedication to an invisible sky daddy.
There’s nothing more ridiculous and irritating than a Christian telling you all about their experience with God/Jesus, and then saying it is your fault for not finding and experiencing the same thing. “You didn’t seek hard enough or humbly enough.” FUCK THAT.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free” ~Jesus
Sounds pretty “woke” to me!
“How does a 7 year old have a gun?…I’m only here because my husband is in the military or otherwise I would have not chosen to come to this country”
A British woman after a 6 year old shot his teacher at Richneck Elementary School in Virginia!
Wow

Because much of transphobia is rooted in hatred for all things women/feminine. Look at how different we treat girls who are “tom boys” vs boys who want to wear and do tradition girl stuff.
Do not engage in apologetics with this guy, ever. He’s a little bitch who only wants to argue with who he thinks you are and not what you actually tell him. He is grossly incompetent.
@ZachWLambert
I would argue that the picture of Jesus painted in the gospels is very much inline with CRT…he often challenged the systematic injustices inherent within 1st Judaism and Roman politics
It really gets old hearing current Christians tell us ex-Christians that we must have never been real Christians to begin with. It scares them to death to even consider the possibility that they too could one day become one of us!
If the “souls” of aborted fetuses go straight to heaven, then why are Christians so vehemently opposed to abortion? Isn’t that a good thing? Aren’t they saving countless souls who would otherwise be born, might become an atheist like me and go to hell?

@ZachWLambert
That sounds nice, but when you are treating their sexual orientation as a sin you are continually reinforcing feelings of guilt and shame no matter how much you tell them God is living and merciful.
@PrezLives2022
The shooter was in his 80’s and while I don’t condone his actions, he was probably genuinely scared to death due to irrational fear of black prople instilled in him by watching outlets like Fox News and Newsmax. This is what racist news content leads to.
@SZisStillMad
I saw this meme yesterday, so obviously these aren’t your own words. I agree with it, but I hate when people pass off others’ words as their own.
@Nonlin_Org
I’ve studied the Bible extensively and while some wisdom can be found, there is also just as much unwise stuff and it is certainly not a foundational text!
NO, Sean, people aren’t pushing back because you follow Jesus, they are pushing back because you use Jesus as a shield to hide behind while you preach/protest against the lives of those in the LGBTQIA+ community.
