When your God can be killed by us silly goobers, maybe he wasn't so powerful in the first place.
It's shocking how little faith they have in their own god

Who would win?
the omnipotent, omniscient Creator of the Universe,
or
A boy who’s actually a girl

Created by... the same god.
So he can create something to defeat himself? So not omnipotent?

This is exactly the kind of rhetoric that turns progressive people away from churches. Are progressives 'killing god', or is it actually the churches themselves who are deliberately turning people away?
AFAIK hating on trans people isn't even in the bible, so this is 100% on the current personnel of the churches being even worse than they absolutely have to. Even if you believe that the bible is truly the "word of God", this is just something you made up yourself.
TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works · 22 pts · 311d
Unfortunately there is some line in Leviticus about it being illegal for a 'man to wear the clothing of a woman, or a woman to wear the tools of a man', and another one about not cutting yourself. But for a god who commands infant genital mutilation, it's certainly hypocritical.
rumschlumpel@feddit.org · 28 pts · 311d
Easy fix: "trans women are women, trans men are men". You could just as easily argue that the man who wears the clothing of a woman is the closeted trans man.
The catholic church certainly doesn't care about that when it comes to modern medicine.
TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 311d
Oh, I am certainly supportive of trans people being the gender they say they are. I don't think the people who wrote the Bible thought of it that way though, it was probably their intent that the (flawed) concept of binary biological sex was what they were referring to.
And it's important to acknowledge that and reject the Bible as a source of moral truth, rather than seeking to 'reinterpret' it, to make it 'acceptable' while not having to outright reject it.
rumschlumpel@feddit.org · 7 pts · 311d
While I agree that Christianity is flawed from the get-go and that you're probably right about what the bible authors would think about trans people, I still can't keep myself from pointing out the glaring holes in church doctrine. The people who wrote the bible, especially the old testament, would probably stone someone to death if they explained current Christianity to them.
Arguably, pointing out the raging bigotry of "this isn't explicitly in the bible, I just made it up myself" and "this IS in the bible, but I chose to ignore it" would make people aware of how absurd Christianity is and reconsider their beliefs, but in reality that's probably not at all how belief works.
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 310d
This is a great point. It would be easy enough to argue that the verse speaks against closeted folks dressing against their honest inner identity.
But I don't think logic or a sincere attempt to unstand the will of a benevolent higher power were ever involved, sadly.
I feel like if they were really seeking the will of an all loving God, they could have come to that conclusion already. :(

There is the small problem that I'm not a cardinal, or a Catholic, or a Christian but I think if we get enough other people on board we can take the Swiss Guard and then those things become traditionally optional

But god is already dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.
Though 'we' seems to be germans as the quote is by german philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and even before Nietzsche, the earliest accounts of 'death of god' discussions seem to originate in german lutheran culture of the 17th century.
So since god is dead and transgender rights are some modern stuff, trans rights cannot have caused the death of god.
Maxxie@piefed.blahaj.zone · 14 pts · 311d
Transgender scientist Friedrich Nietzsche invented a time machine and went back to 19th century to kill god. And I love it for him.

Maybe God is so weak even the mere existence of what is now the modern gender thought is enough to kill him centuries ahead of time.

If god was real and being trans killed him id vagina my penis tomorrow, not out of any real desire to become a woman, but more because of the utter contempt I have for religion.

Transgender rights have apparently such reality-bending power that they could kill that which was never real.
Pandantic@midwest.social · 11 pts · 311d
The news reported that soon they will all be able to bend space time to their will to inhabit all bathrooms, so I imagine killing a fictional god is within reach.

How about we just let god speak for themselves, Umkay. God made parrots already. So as far as I can tell, parroting is blasphemy against God's creation with the hubris to propose a sinful man can do better than the Almighty. If god objects, let them speak, if they care. People that care, call. This whole man in the middle bullshit is ridiculous yellow news hearsay. Acting like cave-god off using Morse code on the telegraph still. If Almighty ain't got an iPhone, the fuck kinda God you got Pandroid?

He can't actually say that and not face internal retribution from the Holy See, right? Not for the trans-phobia, but for the possible blasphemy. I understand that his statement could be taken metaphorical. But it still doesn't place a good light on senior Catholic leadership.
TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 310d
Nah, they want Christians to be scared of a demonic threat, otherwise why would people bother supporting them? If God just stomps with no real threat or challenge, that's not a compelling narrative they can sell to the cult.
