At my church, baptism is a personal choice. We don't baptise infants.

Just for the record, I was baptized before I was one year old.

I was baptized at 10 ...my parents were atheists..relatives were Catholic and Christians and I liked the music in church and even more the girls in pretty dresses. I read the books and stayed Christian until I got to Vietnam and say what was happening in the name of God and country....at one point I realized that millions of Buddhists were not out conquering the planet and shooting it up. Much cooler religion. I switched and eventually came to a sort of Taoist approach of my own making that became my own system of right and wrong and self discipline. I don't believe in heaven or hell. I'm curious about reincarnation just because it's more interesting to me than other versions of afterlife. I think of the planet as a living entity and my version of a god would be any place where people and nature can harmonize and act as one....which was my original attraction to music. The music religion inspired for the world is glorious. The idea that you are here to suffer and die and be tested is complete bullshit to me.
 
Bach considered all his music a celebration of his Catholic faith. Doesn't make the music less beautiful.

I was incorrect about Eric but my basic point still holds.

Students at Seattle Pacific University are protesting the school upholding a ban on LGBTQ staff. School says ban gays because they are Christian. Of course.
 
Total Catholic immersion for the first eighteen years of my life. It was a Jesuit parish, so we were highly encouraged to use our critical reasoning. Going to a high school run by French Christian Brothers only doubled down on that concept. I actually enjoyed growing up Catholic for no other reason than the pageantry and traditions (still pissed that they switched the mass from Latin to English), along with feeling like I belonged to some sort of exclusive club. That is a nice sense of security for a kid. But I never could buy into the totality of it all, and I took from it what I thought was good and moved on from the rest. I believe in a higher power and that what we do in this life determines what happens in the next life. But all we can do is have faith that the next life exists, so I basically follow Pascal's Wager.......there may or may not be an afterlife, but I'm going to try and live my life as if there is......

What in the actual fuck is that fucking idiot saying??

Ignoring that what she said (even if it's taken out of context) is horse shit, why would someone CARE if White Supremacist are called the most dangerous terrorist group in America, unless they themselves are...white supremacists??

WTF!? Her answer to white supremacist terrorists, which she herself is connected to, as she espouses to that bullshit, is to make up some hateful fake category of terrorists involving trans people? I guess I can't say I'm surprised, but damn there was a time where if a government official said something like that, they'd be forced to resign/ be held responsible.
 
In El Paso, a 17 year old transgender high school student was attacked by a group of men while leaving the library where she had gone to do her homework.
In Arlington, Texas, a minister called for death penalty for LGBTQ people.
The rumor the Uvalde killer was transgender has been thoroughly debunked and most on the right have quietly (and without apology natch) taken down posts describing him as such. Exception is Hitler admirer Candace Owens, who had doubled down on her claim the killer was trans and therefore no LGBTQ person should have civil rights.
When straight white Christian men commit mass murder they are just called mentally ill even if they weren't. No one says straight white Christian men shouldn't have civil rights.

That's such a whackadoodle mindset.

Even if the shooter WAS trans, why should that effect anyone else who is also trans?
 
When on a commercial airplane, if, say, there were three attendents, and two of them were cis female, I'd want the third attendent to be a cis female, as opposed to a male (EDITED) trans. I'd feel a bit more safe. It's apparent to me that there are too many potentially unruly passengers on flights these days.

So wait, do we have major biological advantages over cis women in strength, size, and stamina or not?

Do you think you do?

What I actually meant was a trans male. A trans female is a different story.

outgroup homogeneity, a psychological concept where someone assigns traits from one person to the entirety of the group that person belongs to. It's a logical fallacy we all fall prey to, like how I don't trust any cis people despite only 20% of them actually wanting me dead.

Or if it's an all-female flight crew and someone is hurting them you could do this thing called.... help.

Even if it's an all-male flight crew and a passenger is getting violent you can still help.

But sure, somehow this means we should do a package check on flight attendants so ABM can feel safe.

You can do whatever you'd like, I'm speaking for myself.

Do you hear yourself?

What the fuck does that story have to do with being transgender?

Trying to figure that out myself. He'd feel safer if a fight broke on a plane if all the attendants gender matched their anatomy?
