That sounds more like a tyrant than a god worthy of worship and admiration.

That's why I believe polytheism is superior to Abrahamic monotheism, as the Gods are also subject to the laws of nature which they are tasked with upholding, which is a belief that was found in traditional religions from Egypt, to the Norse, to India and East Asia. All beings are subject to the laws of the Cosmos, imo.

Sexual attraction? Maybe you only read parts of the Bible and not the entire book.
You can read Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes.

How sex works? Don't see why that's necessary. However, the Bible does tell us how sex happens and why, why it works, how and why it came about, and how babies are made.
What's so important about how it works if you are not in that field of science?

Explain pregnancy? Explain what you mean.

Makes no mentions of STDs? LOL. It makes no mention of monkeys either. LOL. You can always get a hearty laugh on RF.

Nothing of consent to be found? Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. Please... How long have you been reading the Bible? The entire Bible contains pages about consent. Oh dear.

Oh. All you saw was "don't do this because god hates it."?
I know a guy.... all he sees is "Don't do..." LOL. My side hurts. LOL

The Bible was written after we knew about sex (amd your claim wasmt "people today")
And you basically prove my point. The Bible makes no mention of sperm or ovum. It doesn't include the woman having an orgasm enhancing the chances of conception. It doesn't say that there are diseases that can be sexually transmitted. Amd no. It doesn't explain attraction or sex. Amd knowing how sex works is important because it turns out theres more to it tham "insert, thrust, squirt." Amd as for consent, the Bible gets to be so heinous that a rape victim is to marry her rapist. That is sick, cruel, amd sadistic and it throws consent entirely out the window.

That's as it should be. "Do as I say, not as I do" is how some kings got their heads placed on spikes.

Some people get mad when their worldview to be against something is challenged. It truly is sad. Also, sadly, the world has a rich history full of people quieting the rational ones just so that those with their holy beliefs can torment and abuse those who are different.

Yeah, I hate communists, libertarians and fascists. Any day give me a middle of the road "salad bar" Christian, which believes in human rights, humanism, a secular society, the welfare state, democracy and regulated capitalism. The problem is that the Christian is the one with the holy beliefs, right?

You are correct. Name calling is inappropriate.

thank you for agreeing.
I just wanted to add, in the major Christian forums, it is not limited to name calling.
Speaking from my experience on two large Christian forums, the bashing comprises

* making unsupported accusations against the LGBT community. Such as: corrupting the children.

* singling out one group, the group of LGBT+, constantly criticising them but leaving remarried divorcees in peace. I'm talking about remarried couples who did not divorce from their previous spouses for reasons of adultery.

* criticising them making reproaches but at the same time, not letting them reply. This is classical bullying in my opinion.

* comparing them to rapists (as can be seen in this thread also)

Their god very clearly is. His books, his laws, it does say homosexuality is an abomination, it does say homosexuals are to be put to death, it does say their blood is on their hands.

They don’t have a god imho. They read about a literary character. I just asked Him and He doesn’t care.

One God created everything. Why would there be a god for this and that?

thank you very much, Frankenstein.
I should have written: "as a homosexual, or transgender, do you feel attacked by Christians" - I left that out. I shouldn't have.

So you say transgender? then you must have suffered from the reproach "it's an illness" - from my experience, Christian attackers mess up illness before the change and transgenderism itself.
Or there is another nasty and mean assessment by Christian attackers: peril of the youth in a sense that they would "recruit" them or successfully persuade them to change their gender. However, from my experience, they do not back this assessment up by facts. They don't have Bible verses at their side, either. They just declare... but cannot substanciate these claims, as I see it.

The reproach of "recruitment" also is made against homosexuals, from my experience. But here again, they have no evidence as to show that rhetorically apt people could go ahead and just change the sexual orientation of youths even if they wanted.

So I really think that you suffered a lot. Sorry.

I prefer the term "transsexual" over "transgender", personally, as I feel transsexualism is a more accurate label for it. But, regardless, you're correct. Yes, I have been told that I'm mentally ill, not a man and will never be one, that I was never a true Christian (I used to be a devout Catholic), etc. I've heard it all.

Hands down you are way more of a man than I ever was. No question, no contest. People who don't see you as a guy are blind.

Because Apollo showed us how to act logically and rationally while Dionysus taught us how to party.

Thanks. No one but loser trolls online ever says **** like that to me, certainly not to my face. I actually tend to make cis men feel insecure. And other ones want to fight me. That's how you know you're accepted as a man, socially.

I also don't broadcast being trans, either, since it's no one's business unless I choose to tell you.

I actually don't. But I find the idea of monotheism to be strange because it requires endless leaps and stretches to explain things as happening as the result of one god. It's easy to laugh at the comical misfortunes of life as the pranks of Loki, and thank Thor for surviving a car wreck than trying to figure out how one god overly complicated your life and then spared you of an untimely demise.
