So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven—except being gay or trans, which will never be forgiven. — Matthew 12:31

Why should sodomical inclinations have to be considered a social identity? Why do homosexuals think their disordered inclinations are the most important thing that identifies them? I like chocolate but I don’t think liking chocolate is my social identity. Maybe if they stopped considering it the most significant aspect of their personality they could repent.

Most Christians think they’re righteous and don’t examine their lives to see how they can improve. Most do not think their sins are that bad and that they are practical shoo-ins for heaven. They’re good enough, they think.

Christian half the time is literally just a de-facto synonym for anti-gay and anti-trans. People think that's literally all it is. In fact even a few people who hate Christianity call themselves Christians simply because they are against gays and trannies. Leftists also tend to refer to them as such.

My suspicion is that most people no longer actually have any Christian or atheist beliefs; rather, such affiliations are now used primarily as a signal or code word for one's socio-political views, particularly regarding gays and trans people. It's identity politics in action. And it makes both sides assume that I am one of the other, so all of mankind is set against me.

This is part of a plot to erase the gospel's memory from the public eye. By replacing it with something else.

Maybe the Christian nationalists on Gab and 4chan, but I don't think most Christians think this way.

They do, at least in the recent evangelical world. In their minds these are the only things that will keep someone who believes out of heaven, and the worst kind of evil. A Christian can sin and commit horrible atrocities they say, because all is forgiven, except if it's being gay or trans, then they'll still go to hell.

This applies even to those who aren't hateful towards them, which until the last couple of years was the vast majority. In fact a person's opinion on these issues is usually considered THE litmus test for seeing if someone is really a true believer.

I don't see how they acquired this notion, and it's almost universally agreed upon. Jesus hated divorce and adultery, yet those things are only minor vices apparently, while something he never even mentioned is worse than the devil.

If we had copyright when the Bible was released. They would get slam dunked in court for plagiarism ;-)

All ideas are built on past ideas. All innovations are built on past innovations. "Intellectual property" is just another crappy excuse for censorship and stifling creativity and innovation, which of course no one ever questions because apparently the law = morality. It's an excuse for the elites to control people because they "own the rights" to do almost everything in supposedly free countries.

You know, North Korea has free speech...it's just that almost everything is an exception to free speech!
