I asked a friend last night to feel without thinking....if he felt like a male or female.....he is 48 years old.
He went silent as he searched......then said neither......I don't feel like anything.
Then I said maybe that's what it means in the bible:
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Whatever my friend experienced when he went quiet before answering is what everyone truly is.
No label.....no thing there.....not any thing.

The only answer I have to this is Romans 1:18-35. This is exactly what we're seeing take place. For years now the cultural shift has been to allow, then affirm, then celebrate violence and perversion. People wanted it, or at the least didn't speak out against and and fight it, all in the name is "tolerance." Now they get it, and they'll get a belly-full. And it'll rot them from the inside.
Have a heapin' helpin' 'Murica. It's what you wanted; it's what you got!
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. ~Romans 1:18-35

These evil creeps are not only targeting children they are also targeting Christianity, the very moral foundation of our society.

There is little doubt that the principles upon which the United States was founded are indeed found in the Bible.
Some of our founding fathers actually proclaimed to be Christian. MOST of the people in the beginning of this country WERE Christians therfore they make up the foundation of this country and thus my statement. I too believe in freedom of religion, however the facts speak for themselves.
Insidious evil will creep into the spirit of a people without a good moral foundation, wheather it be the Bible, Hindu, Buddhist teachings or wherever it may come.
ok you have gone so far off the rails not only on the topic but how the country was founded it ISNT EVEN FUNNY .
So yes, the country was founded on Christian principles, but with one of those principles being that the government cannot interfere in an individual's personal relationship with their Creator. Thus, the "freedom of religion" clause in the First Amendment.

My initial thought was that I feel like a woman when I have to deal with female (biology/anatomy) related things. But that's not really true. I just know that those things are because I have female biology/anatomy.
I guess I don't "feel" like a woman at all. It's just the word designated for being an adult human female.
Your Christianity is not necessarily my Christianity, or anyone else's Christianity. And you cannot force it upon me or anyone else.
