The Problem with Christians

[Esquilax]

If it's all the Christians fault, why have nearly all the countries in the world, regardless of religion (eg communist countries) designated it as a disorder up until the latter part of the 20th century?

I know this might be hard for you, but could you try not being simplistic for a change? I think we both know that homophobia has been a tool employed by many religions, but it's no less baseless for being a popular Othering technique.

No, because the APA appears to have caved in to intense lobbying from homosexual activism.

So, again, when an organization produces a result that comports with what you already believe, then it's an accurate result, but when they produce one that disagrees with you, it's not a good result. Is your metric for acceptable citations seriously how much it aligns with what you want to be true?

Your bigotry against Christians is quite evident here. In Australia, there has been no such "war" against transsexuals. If there is any aggression towards them, it is most likely going to come from the irreligious .

Shall I give you a piece of advice, mate? Don't try to tell an Australian, what Australia is like. Because I'm going to be able to correct you: now, Australia might be better, in that there isn't a concerted, government based effort to discriminate against the trans community state by state, but that doesn't mean my country is free of cultural memes or ideas of acceptable treatment that negatively affect trans people, and those are promulgated, in large part, by your religion. I'm looking at a study right now, because unlike you I actually research my shit before I make wild, random claims: trans people still experience the highest rates of discrimination and abuse among LGBTQI peeps in Australia: fully half have experienced verbal abuse, a third threats of physical abuse, with half again reporting sexual assault. Your claim that all of this comes from the irreligious is completely baseless, especially in light of the already established fact that anti-trans and LGB bigotry tends to scale with religious fundamentalism.

As for this claim of "bigotry against christians," I know you guys love this petulant little tu coque fallacy, but it simply doesn't stick: my wife was still a christian when we started dating. Also, you don't know me at all, but hey, don't let that stop you making wild assumptions about me to attempt to shame me into silence so I stop criticizing your complete failure at argumentation.
