Christian trigger words

[Nihilist Virus]

quote]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.

Which one of those accusations is false?

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.

This is why anthropologists distinguish between sex and gender. A transsexual who goes from man to woman does not go from male to female. Sex is biological and gender is sociological. Biologically, a transsexual woman is still a male, but socially she is a female.

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?

Perhaps read the OP again. I didn't say that the evidence proves we aren't transdimensional. I'm asking for evidence that we are transdimensional.

You have absolutely no authority to make this claim,

I made no such claim. I'm explicitly asking for evidence of the claim that we are transdimensional and etc.

and no right to treat anyone who doesn't agree with your worldview as beneath contempt!

Hmm, what country are you from? I did clarify in the OP that I'm American, so I absolutely *do* have the right to be contemptuous of religion. Hopefully that clears it up for you. If not, search "American constitution" on Google.

I also find it interesting that you say "reincarnated on another planet." You do realize that most Christians don't believe this, right?

Paul says he expects believers to get a new body.

By definition, that's reincarnation. The prefix "re-" means "again" and the root word "incarnate" means "in a body." Your transdimensional, immortal, non-physical soul will be put into a new body. That's reincarnation.

And in Revelation John says that the old earth passed away and that there is a new heaven and a new earth. So that's a different planet.

So assuming that you accept Paul's epistles and the book of Revelation, it follows that you believe you'll be reincarnated on another planet.

I covered all of this in the OP and provided sources.

Now what part of that don't you understand?

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.

Yes, I do humiliate Christians for sport. They humiliate themselves for reasons I don't understand.

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.

As pointed out above, I have the right to sneer at Christians. There are no blasphemy laws in America, and to my knowledge there is no blasphemy rule here.

Please indicate that you understand you've been corrected.
