That's what I thoughtYes i am petrified
Would you compare isolated marginals like that with the current widespread mainstream proselytism?That's what I thought
On the off chance you're interested in educating yourself...

Excerpt regarding the US
In colonial America, Thomas(ine) Hall in the 1600s adopted clothes and roles of both men and women, while in 1776 the genderless Public Universal Friend refused both birth name and gendered pronouns. During the 1800s, some people began new lives as men and served in the military, including Albert Cashier and James Barry, or otherwise transitioned, like Joseph Lobdell; trans women like Frances Thompson also transitioned. In 1895, trans autobiographer Jennie June and others organized the Cercle Hermaphroditos; in the 1900s, musician Billy Tipton lived as a man, while Lucy Hicks Anderson was supported by her parents and community in being a woman.
There is nothing new about this current situation except the hysteria and intolerance
It demonstrates that's it's nothing new, the only reason more people are transitioning now is that there is more support, let other people live their lives and you live yours, worry less about how others are going about their business and worry more about being a better version of you (not singling you out as being deficient btw,that's something we all should do imho)Would you compare isolated marginals like that with the current widespread mainstream proselytism?
I mean you can always cherry pick outliers and repackage them out of context, it doesn't demonstrate anything.
It demonstrates nothing as the logic is fallacious. Everything is a matter of context and magnitude. I think you are misleading yourself and/or others with a narrative like that.It demonstrates that's it's nothing new, the only reason more people are transitioning now is that there is more support, let other people live their lives and you live yours, worry less about how others are going about their business and worry more about being a better version of you (not singling you out as being deficient btw,that's something we all should do imho)
These are miniscule numbers we are talking about, if you are truly concerned about kids worry about teen suicide or kids going hungry , you know, real problems.It demonstrates nothing as the logic is fallacious.

Another fallacy. Have a great day.These are miniscule numbers we are talking about, if you are truly concerned about kids worry about teen suicide or kids going hungry , you know, real problems.
Run away little fellaAnother fallacy. Have a great day.
lol yes the majority of people don’t kill and rape due to the fear of god…

Lol you don t even know how to have an intelligent conversation and are aggressive.Run away little fella
Maybe think twice before trying to shoe horn your favorite source of outrage porn into every single thread.
Most of it is phony theatre though, not true belief. Which I guess is even more baffling.Still blows my mind that America is one of the most religious countries in the world

It’s not phony at all. America is a Christian nation. More than half Americans identify as Christian first and American second. It is vastly different than other first world nations.
Oh it's phony. You think that 50% of the nation spends any actual time of their general day living and internalizing and practicing the moral framework and intent of Christ? lol
They may be going through the motions and calling themselves one for reassurance but most have simply been indoctrinated into the pattern of group think.
And this isn't also to say that that group of collective phonies doesn't present a verifiable threat to rational thinking or decision making.
I believe people do need some moral guidance. Not necessarily the 10 Commandments, specifically.
I mean, we see areas of the world, in our own country, where we've kind of let people do what they want to do and it ends with stealing and violence.
I think this is what a lot of people don't really get about religion and what we've lost as its become less in our society. Less common ground, less community interaction, less moral guidance... I don't see how anyone thought it would improve us by removing it and it hasn't.
