This thread in a nutshell: Some troll writes some incoherent nonsense that contains the word “transgender”, so some members try to discuss about transgender people and their inclusion in society. Then comes Boru and writes some nonsense giving perhaps the impression that he is aware that this whole topic is nonsense and that he may close it, but not. Then comes Belacqua, who is taking the subject of the topic into trying to prove to us that atheists accept the so-called subjective evidence and ultimately accept that god exists because the only “evidence” for god is the subjective one. Indeed, one of the first discussions that I had with a theist on this forum was him claiming that people who feel god exists should be taken seriously because people who feel they are different gender are taken seriously.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
