>>How is that a “Christian belief”?
Christianity presupposes an objective truth that may be discovered through reason, or revealed.
No one else seems to remember that this was the absolute guiding rule that Hillary lived by and planned to rule by forever :
"I must insist on ruling by what is right because people are unable to judge what is in their own best interest..."
Democratics/marxism writ large.
Look it up.
“UK now a totalitarian shithole.”
I had hoped to visit the place where my mother was born before I turn in my cards but I’m not going to waste my money. Her England in the 1920s was nothing like it is today. I’m disappointed but I’m not a fool.
“Write it off. It’s over.”

For heaven’s sake——go.
Different family members have been there three times in the last three years-——and love it.
I’d go back tomorrow but my traveling days are over.

While there's considerable evidence that "AGW" is not a thing, or not a thing we need to worry about, it's not nearly at the same level of lunacy as the transformer thing.
Actually, it is.
Agendas have replaced science and called itself science.
Yes, I understand that, but I still think it’s not as crazy.
bkmk
I always thought it was objective reality, personally, but since we no longer do that, I guess maybe it should be a DNA test...which would show that these people are either male or female, genetically speaking and leaving aside their psychoses.
There are a few cases per every x number of births with people having mixed features, and these used to be determined by eyeballing them but now are determined with chromosomal analysis. Which is predominant? And also, what do the parents think? But now parents are out of the equation.
I guess there’s no objective reality anymore. And these poor people are left adrift.
In 1973, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) reformulated homosexuality from its mental disorders classification to “Sexual Orientation Disturbance”, officially marking the consensus view’s change from homosexuality as a mental disorder to simply a normal sexual variant.
More and more changes to the DSM have followed since then, and here we are, living under an entirely different consensus.
Check out Homosexuality in DSM for the timeline. Then and now, you’ll see a very familiar methodology at work forcing change.
It is absolutely just as crazy.
“Christian belief that gender is determined at birth”
“How is that a ‘Christian belief’?”
It’s not. The Christian belief is that biological sex is determined by God beforehand. It becomes a reality at conception, not birth.
Multiple times God told people that they would have a male child—a son. For example, there were Isaac, Samson, John (the Baptist), and Jesus.
The recognition that there are exactly two human biological sexes is not religious; it is scientific.

“This is all part of “mind control” of society so that individuals can’t rely on their own senses and knowledge to know what it right. They must be told by authority to keep them in line”
I haven’t thought of it in those terms but that makes sense. Along with our public education dumbing down our kids. Without being able to think logically, they believe what they are told. And without being taught the vocabulary of former generations, that limits their thought processes.
All by design
Rod Dreher has exceptional writing skills.
Tragically, he is also a “Crunchy Con” fake Conservative who makes a living writing center-left commentary.
Only a political con man could claim that the deranged institutional religion of LGBT has something to do with “radical individualism.”
If LGBTs started voting 60% Republican, they would be attacked and exiled from the institutions in a heartbeat.
I think I agree with you, in that the sexual pervert agenda is less about individualism than about totalitarianism. It’s not, “I want to do/be what I want.” It’s, “I insist everyone agree.”
I never liked Rod Dreher. He’s like the male Peggy Noonan. He’s always writing ... with great talent ... about himself.
You need to be a Christian to tell a ding dong from a hoho?
Funny, I could sworn they were about 95% Muslim.
Just WOW!
Right is wrong...wrong is right......WE’RE THERE!
