    It’s in March 31st every year. It doesn’t just go away on the rare occasion Easter also falls on March 31st. Trying to blame Biden for this reeks of desperation.

    Totally separate - but in the Bible Jesus accepts everyone for who they are and right where they are at. Being angry, judgmental, or even violent about someone who is trans existing is inherently anti-Christian.

        Jesus didn’t tolerate sin but he loved the sinner.

        What does that have to do with being trans—a thing which is not a sin?

                Do you have cite to say otherwise?

                I’m not the one claiming being trans is a sin. I don’t intend to provide “prove a negative” citations that television and tennis shoes aren’t sins either.

                    It’s a common known fact.

                    Girl hush.

                    Why did “God make wheat” and not bread? Same reason as trans people. So humans could share in the holy act of creation.

                    What’s your actual source for it being a sin, not people saying it’s a sin.

                    Cite Jesus if you please, not a mistranslation of Paul of Tarsus

          And the primary object of his greatest act of intolerance was against the church that claimed to represent him and his father

          I am really confused by this statement. Can you explain ? There were no churches when Jesus was alive.

                  I am just confused. The leaders didn’t claim to represent Jesus.

                  I think many people dislike religion but they also don’t understand the first thing about it.

                  Jesus was a Jew. After he died, Christian’s were people who tried to live their life on his teachings. Jewish people don’t see Jesus as a messiah. It varies but some see him as a prophet. Islam sees him as a prophet.

                  Jesus criticized people for not being truly religious.

        It would have been trivial to pick a day that would never fall on the same day as Easter

        Why should whoever was responsible for TDoV have to?

        Trans people were around before Rome, much less, Jesus.

          Hell, there were eight genders recognized by Jewish law long before Jesus was born. Male, Female, Androgynous (in this case, naturally possessing obvious traits of both genders, in modern parlance a hermaphrodite), “Tumtum” being largely bereft of either gender, Born male but naturally developing female, born male but developing female due to human intervention, born female but naturally developing male, and born female and developing male due to human intervention.

                Sounds like it’s a damn good source since you can’t attack their point of view and only that they are conservative.

                  The Heritage Foundation operates under stated goals to influence society to be more conservative. They literally tell you they aren’t an objective source and are instead trying to persuade you to believe what they believe. This article also cites a far-right Orthodox Jew and Ben Shapiro…a who’s-who of unbiased historical perspective, right? Lmao

                    We are a conservative forum and we use conservative sources.

                    If you don’t like that, don’t whine about it. Cite a counter source. It doesn’t have to be conservative but crying about the source is amateur move

        Lmao it would be even more trivial to notice this doesn’t impact your life in any way and let it the fuck go.
