Christian trigger words

[MilesAbbott81]

I made a thread which was deleted on the grounds that transsexualism cannot be discussed on the Christian forums.  So I remade the thread and edited that topic out while supplementing my position with further evidence. It was deleted again.  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.

So you say the Bible was written by "racist, sexist, genocidal, slave-driving rapists"? I can understand how you might say that, because you speak without understanding (or even knowledge, apparently). Your arrogance is so very typical of atheists, and so you fulfill Romans 1:22. It really is that simple. You have no idea how wrong you are.

You write, "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!"

Yes, it's totally rational to equate one thing that is easily observable in the physical realm to something unseen in the spiritual realm (/sarcasm). I can tell by looking at a woman that she doesn't have the same body parts as a man, therefore it's absurd to deny the reality before my eyes. On the other hand, you've never experienced death, so what sort of authority are you to claim that the soul isn't trans-dimensional and immortal? You have absolutely no authority to make this claim, and no right to treat anyone who doesn't agree with your worldview as beneath contempt!

I also find it interesting that you say "reincarnated on another planet." You do realize that most Christians don't believe this, right? Even a cursory glance at the commentaries on Bible Hub could've told you this. But that just doesn't fit your agenda of humiliating those filthy, filthy, evil Christians, does it, so why bother looking it up? Or maybe you just think Christians are all idiots, and you simply enjoy turning their humiliation into sport. Either option leaves much to be desired, even by the standards of men.

Many Christians do behave self-righteously, and I understand that it can be maddening when they seem to reject reason and even cast it out from their midst (not saying you were displaying reason, only what you thought to be reason). But that doesn't give you the right to sneer at them all yourself. Try removing the beam from your own eye before dealing with the speck in your brother's.
