Hi, I'm a Christian

[greneknight]

Hi,

Thanks and welcome too (since you're new too).

I'm sorry I'm quite ignorant about many things. I'm still in school. What's a tran man? Did you mean "train"? He works on a train? What's a Mormon? I know I should do a search on google but I'm really lazy to do that. Isn't a Mormon one of those chaps who wear a white shirt with a black badge and they go round preaching but they are very nice and good-natured?

Guess some of this is lingo and some of it is kinda regional.

Simplest answer is that a trans man is a man who used to be a girl. Do you know who Chaz Bono is? That's what I mean.

Mormonism is a branch of Christianity that I think is mostly American, centered in Salt Lake City. Their official name is 'Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints.' Yeah, I think they're the people you're talking about in there. Ever heard of people talking about magical underwear? That's them (although they call them 'temple garments'). We have a presidential election going on right now where one of the candidates is Mormon, and if he wins, we'll probably hear a lot about the LDS church from that. They have their missionaries that go around, preaching to everyone. I'll admit, on a personal level, they are pretty nice and good-natured, but their political/social beliefs are ass backwards and can be dangerous.

Sorry, I've not heard of Chaz Bono but I know what you mean. I've never thought of it the other way round but I know of gays. There are some in my school. They are boys who behave like girls. I've heard of lesbians who are the opposite but I haven't really seen one. I know of girls who act tough but I don't think they're lesbians. This is highly sensitive and it's very easy to get it wrong. So if I see a girl who behaves like a boy, I wouldn't call her a lesbian. But it's easier to identify if it's a boy probably because I go to a boys' school and I have more examples to go by.

I know about the US Elections. Most adults I know think Obama is the right guy. But they aren't Americans and they can't vote.

Welcome to the forums. If you don't make ridiculous claims about the deity you serve, you'll have no problems here. Atheists can be rather friendly when shown the slightest bit of respect.

Thanks! Unlikely. I don't make any claims about any deity. Any such claim cannot be supported anyway. As I have always said (and got into trouble with folks in the Christian Forums), God is not backed by evidence and rational argument.
