Hello,
By today's standards it seems that anything other than sex by marital consent is a sin. Yet we are forgiven our sins. It is our sins that enable us to learn, and amend our behavior. Is being transgender just a joy ride. It has been said that our greatest accomplishment is to receive pleasure. Yet, transitioning is a genetic psycho-dynamic that evolves that may, or may not be based on receiving pleasure. Today it seems we restrict our thoughts by believing being transgender is a sin because it is a sexual fetish, however the transition is not a fetish at all, it is a perception, an identification and a direction. Like some sins being transgender is looked on as a mental illness, but how can that be when many find it gives them a self expression they never had before. What is the conclusion can we hate either the sinner who is transgender or even the sin, when within us all we have felt an impulse to come out in this way. Are we sinners who are forgiven since like, and unlike receiving pleasure in some way we achieve self validation. Is it a mental illness, if it is it may also be harmless, but today I choose to see it is a life affirming solution that also may require evaluation and treatment.
By today's standards?
By today's standards I consider the christian faith a dangerous, aggressive cult that severely degrades mental health of its followers. Here's why:
First, historical crimes against humanity commited by the catholic church such as witch hunts and total suppression of so called heretics, especially during the medieval.
More present crimes such as sexual exploitation and abuse perpetrated by catholic priests. Frequently in the press.
Check out which peoples and societies are primarily responsible for environmental pollution and extinction of species. It's the christians, of course, crucifying Earth.
Check out which peoples and societies were responsible for colonialism and so called "crusades"... The christians of course, wiping out native indigenous peoples and their native spirituality, replacing it with christian doctrine.
Yikes. Wanna check out more? It's all there in the history books. Enroll at your local universities.
No need to continue any discriminatory discussions on trans levied by christians. Nope. No need at all. If anything, I understand the persecution of christians and its necessity. So, preferably we'd discuss that. And we should discuss the ignorance of institutionalised faith and, in this regard, the innocence of Christ who is definately not responsible for the idiocy of those abusing his teachings for their political purposes and economical profits.
Cheers
