Religion was the old political system. It was the old science system. It was where artists got their commissions. It was where people went for to get married...etc. And just like the great and powerful Oz, the people giving out answers, back then, were just making it up as they went along....Even though the citizens of Oz built their beautiful Emerald City based upon the belief in the Wizard.
Now, the church is a gathering place and a place to congregate to reinforce a feeling of community. In that regard, it's not a bad thing. For many, church is a place where people can go to slough off the week's negativity and listen to something that they find bigger than themselves. Religion and the church have basically built most of the great infrastructure in the world, too. But all the stories about prophets and messiahs, superhumans and punishers of sin, have gotten old and outmoded for the most part. and, ironically to this thread, many queers have used the church to hide themselves -as we have sadly seen reports about priests diddling the choir boys. Obviously, the bad guys figured some ways to use religion and the church, too. And it's almost always the bad examples of religion and churches that we hear about in the news...because that's the way the news works now.

But your thumbnail pic is of Ricky. Ricky is like "ignorant fucker #1". And you actually communicate similar to Ricky's character. Are you Ricky?

Oh, hi Felicia. I thought you were gone.But your thumbnail pic is of Ricky. Ricky is like "ignorant fucker #1". And you actually communicate similar to Ricky's character. Are you Ricky?
So, do you have anything to contribute or are you just here to be a tick.

Stupid and ignorant are not the same thing. Although, in your case, both are an accurate description.But your thumbnail pic is of Ricky. Ricky is like "ignorant fucker #1". And you actually communicate similar to Ricky's character. Are you Ricky?

No time at all, I write quickly and had a quick one minute look at the account you pirated.

In case I missed it, how does a newborn infant display their transgenderness?

That's how infants do it? Odd.

Would you require abortion if we could determine a "wrong gender" was about to be born?
Don't be triggered. Just asking a hypothetical.

How do you know you're right handed? Transgender usually entails physical differences and sexual identity is usually dependent on the morphology of the brain that corresponds to gender identity. The brain areas that deal with sexual identity of many gay men are similar to those of heterosexual women etc.
Or, Jesus made them that way and hating on them for who they are will drive you straight to Hell. Just like hating black and brown folks for who they are will put you on the fast lane to perdition.

Lots of name calling and vitriolic sidetracks from a few people who claim that it's all about just being loving and accepting. Why don't all you lovers practice what you preach rather than saving all your love for just your own ilk? Actually....yeah, never mind....just keep it for your own ilk.
You gotta admit, this is pretty funny being that you just said Ricky is an ignorant fucker, then asked if he was Ricky.

Then how do you explain the Christian Scientists?
bad joke aside, many clergymen were involved in scientific pursuits, probably the most notable being Copernicus

Don’t forget, Galileo had to recant his theory that the earth moved around the sun to avoid being tortured by the church.

Yep studying the bible was one way to understand God, studying his creation was another, hence natural philosophy and then science and scientists, in the late nineteenth century. Shit the term scientist is only a few decades older than female enfranchisement!
