I support people living however they wish to live. I object to calling it marriage and forcing other people to accept it as normal and good.
This is where the science comes into play. It's very early research, but scientists are starting to see that the sense of gender in the brain and the actual genitalia develop separately in the womb. They almost always match up in the end, but not always. There are zero biological processes that get the job done perfectly every single time. There's no such thing as a perfect biological process. There are always mutations.
No one was hurt or killed and the damage could have been much worse. The history and age of the building makes it a tragedy. As far as God intervening... the true church are the people. Too bad the people who donated all that money... didn’t give to charities in need. Heck, it is just a building.
We are All Cathedrals, We are not Notre Dame. "...according to the New Testament, Christianity is incendiarism, Christ Himself says, "I am come to set fire on the earth," and it is already burning, yea, and it is doubtless becoming a consuming conflagration, best likened to a forest fire, for it is "Christendom" that is set on fire...No, official Christianity is not the Christianity of the New Testament."--Soren Kierkegaard, April 7, 1855. Because Notre Dame has nothing to do with g-d and everything to do with State fascist ideology that use religion as a proxy war prop. Theism is the best alibi for mass murder and still appear righteous. Theism applies the mechanical model of thinking to nature and is complete nonsense so it is put in the War Toy Box and used for oppression. It doesn't mean much more than that in the secular world and of Christendom.
Argument from incredulity, is not a valid argument. Scientists learn new things every day. Your wish that the body & brain don't always align is noted, but wishful thinking is not part of the scientific method.
Sorry not wishful thinking.. if your brain doesn't match your body then you need to change your mind. Not force everyone to agree with your delusion. Yup when your brain disagrees with reality it is a delusion.
Actually there is a Hindu running for president in America right now. They are closer than you think.
It would include statements like: "Yes money that could actually go to helping relieve the suffering of humanity will now go to restoring another edifice to willful ignorance."
Did you see the con game Moses pulled off on the Israelites? He set the standard for being an extortionist.
You're talking about a building out of one side of your mouth and people out the other. The building will be restored and made better than it ever was, so what's your problem? Just had to get your daily dose of Christian bashing in?
yes [ QUOTE] out of one side of your mouth and people out the other. [/QUOTE] That other side of my mouth was responding to someone claiming that god did not protect notre dame because there are too many unbelievers now in france i guess that was gods plan? I did not bash any christians. I simply asked believers to clarify something about god that i found confusing.
