Because even trannies deserve not to be lied to.

You've confused affirming and being lied to.

Affirming = agreeing with retards that they are the gender they are not = lying to the mentally retarded.

Pretty immoral if you ask me. Trannies are made in the image of God and deserve respect. Also I don't want to be told what to do.

Some people are intersex. Some people are retards. An adult who deals with the former by putting their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes, stomping their feet and demanding that they don't exist is probably an example of the latter.

Great that you've got a transgender god, though. What's Their name?

Hermaphrodite people do exist. That is different than transgenders who are simply making stuff up.

God doesn't have a gender. People do.

My God is the God of the Catholic Church. If you call your local priest, he can explain the divine name and what it means philosophically. I am not qualified to educate you on this matter, I apologize.

Hermaphrodite people do exist.

And other intersex people.

That is different than transgenders who are simply making stuff up.

Many index people are transgender. Because being intersex is related to being assigned the wrong sex at birth.

God doesn't have a gender. People do.

What's their pronouns?

My God is the God of the Catholic Church

The "our father" one?

That's male. He had a wife according to first millennium BC yahweh cult archeology.

If you call your local priest, he can explain the divine name and what it means philosophically.

"Yahweh?" It doesn't mean anything, it's just a name. Like "Baal", "Ashera", "El" or "Chemosh". Or "Bruce".

That one is a he.

It is an analogy, the divine nature is not really male.

he had a wife

The ancient isreaelites worshipped Gods they weren't supposed to. So they acted like he had a wife. He didn't, his name actually explains why he can't have asherah as a wife.

It doesn't mean anything philosophically

OK so you are so completely, utterly ignorant that I'm not even mad at you anymore, I just pity you. Ask your priest. He will explain what it means, and why it is unlike any other name like poseidon or thor or any other retard god people have believed in.

What's it analogous to?

It was when the Bible was written. You can overlay what you want to take out of the Bible, but then we're not talking about Yahweh, we're taking about you.

The ancient isreaelites worshipped Gods they weren't supposed to.

Including Ashera, originally the wife of El, and then as Yahweh became less the god of Israel and more the supreme god (according to yaweh cult), he was attributed more of El's attributes, including his wife.

So they acted like he had a wife.

She and Baal and other gods were worshipped, in some cases in the same temples as yaweh was.

You can call it an act of you like, but they weren't acting.

like poseidon or thor or any other retard god people have believed in.

The greco-roman gods came later to the region.

From what I heard, his creatorship and otherness. Pantheistic religions so I hear, refer to god as mother because we are corporally within god. But this is not pantheistic. So, father.

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

So the writers of the Bible used "He" for god because they looked around at other religions and saw that there were a lot of pantheistic religions that had a female god, and thought, "what's a good analogy for being differentiated from those folks"?

Good theory. Nothing to do with the misogyny by which god's wife or the female followers of Jesus were left out, except to admonish anyone who recognises them?

You don't sound not mad.

You appear to be lashing out.

... So speaking as someone who's not completely ignorant (in your own good opinion) of these things, those that have seen yaweh's body, including Moses, Isiah, Ezekiel, Amos, and Abraham ... They don't see a male body, but a kind of transexual or intersexual body of god?

Does yahweh have a medium hairy chest, and small breasts, in between narrow and wide hips, either a small penis or a really huge clitoris, and a thin whispy beard?

Are you trolling or do you genuinely want knowledge?

I mean I know you are trolling, but is that all you are here for?

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I'm interested in what you think those people who have seen Yaweh's body saw.

Because a male body and a female body are not the same. And an intersex body is even more interesting.

I already have the knowledge that the people who told those stories in the first millennium bc meant that he saw a male body.

But I'm interested in the knowledge of what you believe.

And you? Are you here just to hate on the vulnerable, illogically leveraging your religion to justify it to yourself? I mean I know you are, but why come here for that?
