And religion is different because it is about WHO someone is, not WHAT someone is. Attack someone for their beliefs, views, actions etc, fine (and yes, including my atheism). Attacking someone for what they are though, be it ethnicity, sex , sexuality or gender, is just weak imo. And very different

But... what if you have a go at the Jewish people? lol paradox as they are considered both religion and ethnicity. :zoinks:

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

A few last points.

I never attack religious individuals. I attack RELIGIONS.

There is a big phrase in the autistic activist communities. "Nothing about us without us." Of course I give my opinions on trans issues, I am trans. I have a vested interest in such issues and discussions.

As to the 'fuck off' and 'GTFO', I plan on doing exactly that. In a week.

Hykeaswell, Thank You for you honest words. I appreciate it.


A video, the "Transwomen's Manifesto", I seriously doubt anyone who should view this will, and those that do view this are likely are already 'on side' as it were.

 In that case it would depend on whether one made fun of the religious aspect or the ethnic aspect.  :P

If it makes you feel better about being a bigot, sure.

Religion and culture are ingrained in a person. Not by genetics, not nature, but nurture. Just like the throat of someone speaking English is slightly different from someone speaking Zulu. The sounds made help shaping the body.

I may have gotten rid of the dogmas I was raised with, think I did a pretty good job with that. But my thinking structure will be influenced by Calvinism. That bit is part of me. And there is no way it can be taken away from me. I raise my kids free to question everything someone tells them to be true, and to doubt every absolute truth. But, in their thinking style, Calvinism will be there. I don't think it is a bad trait. Doesn't bother me.

That's not the same as being religious. I will have Church of England in me, it's not the same as me being a christian though
