The LGBT community has been emboldened by its political and legal gains of recent years. Religious institutions, like Azusa Pacific, should prepare themselves for battle over religious freedom.

In the middle east, Islam rules. In this idiot country, sex rules. The biggest pervert is king! Christians have no rights other than the right to bow before the biggest pervert.

I can’t help but believe this “transgender” syndrome is nothing more than a mental aberration.

You are what you are and you think what you think.

I’m surprised that research into this phenomenon hasn’t been more widely discussed...if it, in fact, exists.

To my mind is falls into the Kafka “Metamorphosis” category.

“We stand in solidarity with Adam,” declares an online petition, posted by Alyson Thatcher, an Azusa student.

These will be your children and grand children’s pastors and priests.

Would this not be considered sexual harassment against Christians?

I ventured over to the web site where this originated expecting to see a picture of some bull dyke that now wanted to be a man. Nope I found a picture of a nice looking female that now looks like a dyke. Where is the world going? She resigned end of story.

His client is just a man trapped in a woman’s body.

His client is a seriously disturbed woman, actually, and a Christian institution has the duty not to encourage her illness but to help heal it. That is, by getting Christian counseling for her, or by refusing to continue employing her to make her realize how seriously this is taken.

Humoring this delusion will not help her.

I have been particularly convinced of this since reading about that poor woman in the Netherlands who "became" a man and was still miserable - in fact, more miserable - and had herself euthanized. She said her parents hated having a girl, treated her badly (to the point of child abuse, IMO), and made her hate herself all of her life. But "changing genders," which of course is impossible, didn't help either because she was still miserable and now a complete freak.

Christians need to stand against this while at the same time reaching out helping arms.

When will this idiocy end? When will people start declaring loud and clear that the emperors of the GLBT crowd have no clothes. Agreeing to call this normal and acceptable in the educational arena is nothing less than severe child abuse and a trampling on the rights of most parents to raise their children in a sane environment. This is not a social justice issue. It’s a mental health issue not only for the confused gender confused, but more importantly for the rest of the population, who are forced to say that black and white and white is black.

Did you catch that one phrase??

She and her likeminded classmates, “strive to create a safer environment for students and faculty who have been marginalized by APU’s conservative policies, as well as those who have been victims of spiritual violence on campus.”

Such modern psychobabble Oprah-Lady-Gaga garbage thinking - twist a righteous standing at a Christian College to be 'bullying'. What on Earth is 'Spiritual Violence'? Does the foolish student(s) who expressed that even have any basis of understanding of what REAL spiritual warfare is going on with this??

Here is the telling point:
.. After hearing out Heather/Heath, it was abundantly clear to Azusa administrators that the evangelical Christian university’s long established “views on the theology of sexuality” were decidedly different from those of the transgender faculty member. ...
She lost the job over ideological differences, not discrimination against "transgender".

...expect...That the Christian evangelical university would be no different than your typical Godless, socially-liberal institution of supposed higher learning?

She expects that the Christian evangelical universities will be forced to become typical Godless, socially-liberal institution of supposed higher learning.

This worked as good as possible.

Azusa Pacific University did what they needed to do.

Heather Ann Clement/Heath Adam Ackley went on her merry way when asked.

The only downside is that some students need more learning.

Right to teach? Yeah, that comes right along side my right to not have health insurance. Liberals sure are funny.

A good read for everyone. . . . in winning the war for Eternity. We are all in a spiritual battle. . pure and simple. Jesus vs Satan. Not taking a stand for Christ automatically puts you on the losing side.
