Relax, I don’t wish any harm on trans people, it is just my personal Christian opinion that they are confused and need help. Over half the country agrees with me, and I don’t see much good coming out if debating it with someone like you.
All right. I really like religious studies, I’m a Christian, although it goes much, much deeper than that. I’m gonna need a reason from Christ himself justifying your beliefs.
Now, regardless of nothing of the sort being mentioned by the Christ, why would you, a self-proclaimed proponent of loving everyone (Christian), insist on using rhetoric that you surely know is insulting and degrading to a group of people? Was it not Christ that said, if you see your brother stumble, first go to him? Then his family? It seems, in your haste judgments you’ve skipped some steps.
Lastly, this is why the western church is dying. Apostle Paul warned of things not in the Gospel dividing the Church. As such, you have not heeded his words. Christians casting harsh judgments, with condescension and arrogance is precisely why people hate us. And they are right to. You would be well to learn, and praise in it. You are a Christian, start acting like it.
Please see the Christian Existentialist philosophy I write and preach in Austin (link in profile). In the true Kierkegaardian sense, we must find God’s reflection in outer reality, meditate on it within our Will (or Dasein if you prefer Heidegger), and then reflect it out back into the world as decisive action. That is how we give up the original sin of free will and perform God’s Will. Also God’s direct commands let us suspend the ethical, even his commandments, to perform what must be done. This is shown in the story of Abraham and Isaac, and proved out to be true by Kierkegaard in his masterwork Fear and Trembling. Most Christian Existentialists agree that there is direct evidence that God intended for homosexuality to be fine, but not transgenderism as it is not reflected by science in any human genetics.
No wonder the US is such a shitstain if you are a moderate, democratic voter. All this religious bullshit is what is the undoing of what Americans perceive as freedom and democracy.
There is no god, there is no Jesus. Christianity is the root of all evil, greed, jealousy, gluteny, war, millions and millions of deaths.
It was an concept taken up by Constantine and later Charlemagne to control the peasant population and enforce as law by force and violence. Just like the current US regime is trying to do with fucking prayer at the Pentagon and claiming death to Islam.
People like you are delusional.
That is another thing that Christians are good at: empathy, caring and understanding.
Oh and buying into all the propanda that is being spoon fed to you by the selected sources in your bubble. Just like religion: never let a bad story get in the way of the truth.
BTW ask any average European about nietzsche or sartre and you’ll get a blank stare. At least we are taught about this in school, unlike the US where anything that might challenge the status quo is being banned (books) and bibles and commandments are taken precedent. At least we were never taught any religious beliefs because Europe takes separation between church and state seriously.
I am well aware of Kierkegaard. I said I am really into religious studies, so I’m a little insulted. Taking a philosopher’s ideas and extracting that much from it, when his main point was worry about your own shit, and twisting it into your dogma is the same thing the western church does every Sunday.
How can you claim knowledge when the breadth of knowledge is only from lived experience? Your lived experience. By doing this you are disregarding one of the core tenants of Kierkegaard. Notwithstanding, you are still disregarding the second greatest commandment; love your neighbor. This is not neighborly. If you have a problem, and solving that problem requires you to hurt someone, don’t. Words can hurt and yours have. That is above all else. Apologize for any harm your words have caused, and just go on your way, brother.
Edit: I would like to add, deigning free will as a sin is a gross misinterpretation of the Genesis and a bad one at that. It ignores broad strokes of history and theology that can’t be dismissed as a sin of free will.
Edit edit: Kierkegaard’s ideas aren’t even super original. It takes a lot of Greek philosophy and puts a Christian spin on it.
No wonder. Their religion hasn’t followed the teachings of that Jesus guy for roughly two millenia after all. Jesus was cool and I’m sure he would be horryfied seeing which people call themselfves Christians…
You’re right, it is. Nietzsche was right about oh so many things, but Kierkegaard will take the day at the very last moments of Christianity. I talk about it extensively in my philosophy (see profile link). I can only convert the Austin youth so fast (even with the help of TPUSA). In the end we must fail, as foretold by John of Zebedee. The Antichrist will appear only when most of us have been slaughtered by the unbelievers. But we will put up a hell of a fight!
And you should read the link in my bio that explains the entire Christian Existentialist philosophy that I preach to the youth in Austin (with the HELP of TPUSA).
Trans lives matter, asshole. Fuck off with your hate

Weird how the conversation stops here. I wonder why that could be lmfao
Your religion is dying. Good riddance.

So much of a fight y’all voted for him thrice.
I personally only voted for him once.
You should read the link. You supposedly believe that stuff. You are openly proclaiming that you are helping the enemy according to your Bible.
And you should read the link in my bio that explains the entire Christian Existentialist philosophy that I preach to the youth in Austin (with the HELP of TPUSA).
Why would I bother reading about a religion that is over 1400 years out of date? I prefer to follow actual morals, not fascist lies.
I don’t believe your lies, but I will certainly shove them back down your throat to prove that you don’t believe anything.
Christian Nationalists aren’t centrists, they’re fasch trash.
