So I think I've found their best trigger since the time I was in the habit of reminding them that the Bible was written by racist, sexist, genocidal, slave-driving rapists. Here's the thread I posted:
-------------------------
As an American I have to keep answering whether I'm a liberal or conservative. I'm neither. I think both parties have unforgivably stupid ideas. Here, I want to point out that right-wing Christians are hypocritical in the attacks they make on transsexuals.
Firstly, let's establish that every Christian believes they have a soul. The soul, in fact, is their actual being. A Christian's body is just a vehicle and the soul is the driver.
But what is a soul?
A soul is a transdimensional, immortal, non-physical entity which will be placed into a new body on a "new earth."
So to summarize, conservative Christians laugh at transsexuals, saying, "A man who self-identifies as a woman? Absurd! But let's not mention the fact that I self-identify as a transdimensional, immortal abstraction which will one day be reincarnated on another planet. BTW, those Mormons sure do believe in some wacky stuff!"
I always try to be respectful to transsexuals, not just to their face but also when their back is turned. But I do think that the way Christians self-identify takes this whole fad a little too far. Please, someone give a reason as to why I might be any of these things:
Transdimensional
Immaterial
Immortal
Anything at all, really, would go a long way in establishing Christianity as true.
-------------------------
Transdimensionality:
Space and time define height, width, and length. Due to inevitable heat death, one must exit the universe to live forever. To exit space is to be transdimensional.
Immortality:
John 3:16
Immaterial:
Matter and energy comprise physical material. To exit the universe is to become non-physical.
Reincarnation:
1 Corinthians 15:35-38
Exoplanet:
Revelation 21:1
Bonus trigger:
Tell Christians that their religion is sorcery. Sorcery being, among other things, the invocation of a deity or powerful spirit so that it can possess you or guide you.
something as simple as a memory can be considered transdimensional as it is outside of space and time. it may represent a moment in time and in space but that time and space no longer exists therefore the existence of a memory exists outside of time and space. If memories can be considered outside time and space then truly how far of a leap is it to also to consider a dream to be outside time and space. a dream we are conscious in put our being in a extra dimension even if it is as common as a dream dimension. But also keep in mind we could very well spend most of our lives in this world rather than in the waking world. Which by at least a loose definition makes you a trans dimensional being.
Again don't get anal about any of this I simply point out it is possible if you play with your definition just a little bit.
As far as immaterial goes both dreams and memories are immaterial yet you can exist in both of these realms.. So then the nature of conscious can float between a realm of time and space and a realm without the confines of time and space as our core nature is immaterial.
As far as morality goes nothing in the bible grants you immortality aside from God himself. So if God says you are immortal then I guess you are other wise know you are by nature a finite being.
So how exactly are these 'trigger words again?' and to whom are they made to stump? seems to me only the closed minded with a singular world bsolutest view seem trapped by the meaning of your words.. other wise easy peasie

Easier easier...
All they need do is provide personal eye witness testimony of their experience. As Eye witness testimony is one of the hardest evidence to refute in a court of law. especially idk just about everyone who has ever lived in the last 2000 years can attest to God in some form or fashion.
If one or two eye witnesses are enough to put someone to death in a criminal investigation then how much more evidence is needed than the majority of all who have lived for the last 2000 years who atest to the same God?
If you all were honest and did not look for the one place God specific says he will not be found, you would have all the evidence you could ever need.
