Strange Beliefs

Just goes to show how little you understand Trans people.

No one just goes I think I will Transition to be a Woman tomorrow or vice versa the other way around.

They already were they were just living as they thought society expected of them.

So what evidence do you have that He doesn't exist?

Some of the main arguments against Gods existence

-lack of empirical evidence ,

-why evil exists if there is/were a God,

-that ‘big’ questions can be explained via science, rendering it unnecessary to require or even believe in God. Advances through rational endevours (like the scientific method) seem to fill the void of past-generational ignorance.

The lack of rational, observable, replicable evidence renders God implausible.

Church authorities a lot worse than that in their day, when they had the power;

In that year some of the bishops from various provinces were accused of living immorally in matters of the flesh and of homosexual practices. Amongst them was Isaiah, bishop of Rhodes, at Constantinople, and likewaise the bishop from Diospolis, in Thrace named Alexander. In accordance with a sacred ordinance they were brought to Constantinople and were examined and condemned by Victor the city prefect, who punished them: he tortured Isaiah severely and exiled him and he amputated Alexander's genitals and paraded him around on a litter. The emperor [sc. Justinian I] immediately decreed that those detected in pederasty should have their genitals amputated. At that time many homosexuals were arrested and dies after having their genitals amputated. From then on there was fear amongst those afflicted with homosexual lust.

It shows that the current views of the mainstream Catholic church aren't that different from mainstream Islam.

There are of course, extremists involved in all religions

;

The families of victims of the Christian Identity white supremacist movement might disagree with you that 'there haven't been killings'.

You said NEVER. LOL.

Step away from the mirror bro.

I'm saying that attempts to disparage an entire religion based on the actions of a tiny number of extremists are a bit silly.

Rolling out the crusades is just as silly as rolling out the Charlie Hebdo attack. Yes, Hebdo is slightly more recent, but it's no more relevant in terms of risk analysis for today.

Those who roll out these nonsense concerns really aren't trying to have any kind of sensible debate about the risks of extremists. They're delighted to have the examples of such extremists that they can use to take a swipe at an entire religion.

You're just going to ignore the stuff about the Christian Identity group, presumably? And you're going to ignore the explanation given about the Hebdo attack; "but it's no more relevant in terms of risk analysis for today"?

Someone didn't mention 'Islamic fundamentalism TODAY'. Someone mentioned people getting killed for drawing pictures of Mohammad, which isn't happening today, unless I'm missing something. What relevance does the Hebdo attach have to 2024?

You're that no one mentioned that Islamic fundamentalists don't represent all Muslims. Are you not capable though of reading between the lines to see the agenda that's going on here?

Believing that arguing with someone on boards.ie over and back for days about what should be done about a particular issue will bring about change in real life.

Flapdoodle.

Next time you type the words 'divine power' and 'divine experience', please have the decency to use inverted commas.

Unless, of course, you do believe in the paranormal, which I suspect is the case.

If so, carry on up your own Khyber!
