So, boatbums, in your post #297, you said it was "creepy" of me to criticize a fellow FReeper, and called my criticism "off-the-wall" and "snide", and falsely accused me of "implying he [Elsie] might be a homosexual/transexual based on his screen name", and said that was "dumb", and yet all of that nonsensical garbage you posted there is not "making personal attacks on others"?!?!?
Let me then rephrase what I told you in my post #304.
Your claim that I was implying that Elsie was a homosexual/transsexual, is 100% false, 100% inaccurate, 100% wrong, 100% erroneous. I said absolutely nothing about Elsie being a homosexual. You are the only one there who brought that "homosexual" term up, not me. I was simply referring instead to the Bible text from the Holy Word of God that has you all upset there (Deuteronomy 22:5), which essentially says that when a man (falsely and deceptively, of course) pretends he is a woman, that is "an abomination to the Lord your God". That has absolutely nothing to do with "homosexuality", like your post # 297 falsely claimed.
The only transsexual I spoke about in my earlier post, was Bruce Jenner/Caitlyn Jenner. He didn't start out as a full transgender, but first changed his name, then started dressing up like a woman, then finally had the radical "sex-change operation".
If you catch one of your kids taking their first puff on a cigarette, you don't wait until later, when they're dying in the hospital from lung cancer, to warn them of the dangers of smoking, but you try to warn them as soon as you detect their first few puffs. You might even go so far as to show them videos of painfully dying smokers, or even live cases at a clinic someplace, in order to try to safely redirect their steps in that smoking regard.
The same should hold true for Christian brothers and sisters, who start giving some small signs or indications that they like to somehow pretend to be the opposite sex (like self-applying name changes -- Bruce ==> Caitlyn). Knowing that pretending to be a woman is "an abomination to the Lord your God", it is actually a very good thing to gently admonish them about the way God really views their falsely and deceptively pretending to be a woman.
You may not like that, boatbums, but God does.
You castigate me for falsely accusing you and making it personal in my defense of Elsie, demand I apologize, then you proceed to school me on what the Bible says about cross-dressing - as if I wasn't aware - and then try to mom-splain why you don't like an anonymous FReeper's screen name! Yeah, I do think it is creepy and unnecessary. Elsie has been here for 20 years, if he hasn't transitioned yet, I doubt he will.;o)
Repeating the same PERSONAL attacks - that have NO basis in facts - doesn't enhance nor prove your contention. I've not met Elsie in person but I have no doubt in my mind that he is a normal, Christian, heterosexual man who is happily married and likes to push people's buttons who don't seem to be able to tell when someone is joking, jesting, jousting or just sharing his knowledge and beliefs about the serious issues of the Christian faith - and he certainly can.
Maybe spend some more time reading through the threads to get a feel for the many personalities that contribute to this great Conservative site and you might just find you grow less offended with opposing views and start to experience growth in grace, love and tolerance.
Have a nice Sunday.
Thanks, Daddy, for this spanking.
I will not do it again.
(It IS Daddy; isn't it??)
