I see it as the main video game of religion. Islam, Judaism, Hinduism etc. are the DLC's.

How christian-centric of you.
I'm sure the billion plus believers of those DLC's, would really appreciate that comment.
Especially the muslims. LOL
Hinduism predates Christianity, so I don't know how could be a DLC.
Sermon on the mount.
I think that might be the longest uninterrupted part where Jesus expounds his views.

Which is why I suggest people start with that instead of the Ten Commandments or any of Paul's letters.

So much "Christian" mythology has arisen that is not supported by the Bible that it is no wonder organized Christianity is as screwed up as it is.

As a religion-nerd, Christianity honestly fascinates me. It's like three different religions stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat made out of Jesus fanfiction (astighfirullah)

That is why I recommend a person's first study of Christian ethics should begin with the Sermon On The Mount (Matthew 5:1 through 7:29).

• Sola scriptura.
• Sola fide.
• Sola gratia.
• Solo Christo.
• Soli Deo gloria.

Fnord, wrecking it with Christianity.

Am I interpreting this right? I'm just curious at the moment:

Are you, Blitzkrieg, a biological male who identifies as a woman.....and digs biological women sexually?

Could you have made this personal enquiry with a PM?

This is correct.

I have been struggling with this issue for a long time. I was brought up in a poverty stricken area where if you were not socialised as an alpha guy - even if you were not that person, you would be eaten by your environment/surroundings when you went out of the front door. In the 1990's, there was no internet & thus, playing out in the street was the norm'.

Sooo, I ended up getting into all sorts of trouble & even though I had a reserved, shy personality.

My brother who I was with was always starting physical fights, so I had no end of trouble from being a kid probably up until about my late teens when I turned on the guy because he was causing me more trouble than he was worth, and then he started bullying me for years on end, thinking I had betrayed a brother (quite literally).

So my life has been fraught with physical violence (99% of which time I have been on the receiving end). And thus, my sensitisation to both physical & emotional/psychological attacks is very high (and other people seem to think I am malicious or scary because of this, but it is simply because I have been a punching bag in various ways).

So yes, recently, I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria on the NHS, I am hoping to legally become a female, eventually.

I was fine with the question, Kraftie. Do not worry about my perception. But Fnord is a stricter Christian, it seems.

Why am i reminded of Liam and Noel Gallagher.
Fights...
That's unfortunate you had to have such a violent family.
It's clearly affected you.
Upbringing is very important.
It can make or break a person.

No, I simply respect other people's right to privacy; but if you choose to openly discuss your sexuality, do not use me as an excuse to stop.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

I am willing to share - I feel it is necessary at this point. Nobody seems to believe anything that I say, so I seem to have to go that extra mile to convince people (not you guys Fnord & Kraftie) - some other people, mostly Autistic, biological females who have put me on their frienemy radar.

If you dig women, why should these biological women get all bent out of shape?

You’re no threat to them….unless they’re gay.

For the record (in case there's any doubt ) : I'm a biological male who identifies as a man, and who digs biological women.

No doubt.
Lol.
Nobody's is gonna mistake you for a woman.
Personally.
I can't imagine ever identifying as a woman.
My biology is male.
Why would i betray my biology.
It's inconceivable to me.
I love being a male.
Just as I imagine,many women must love being female.
Naturally.
If Blitzkreig wants to be a woman, that's his right, his life.
His choice...(ooopps wrong pronouns.)
(?)Her choice(?)
I believe in individual freedom.

In another time period, I might consider remaining a man in terms of gender identity. But today, a person is massively disadvantaged by the fact of being a biological male, in almost every dimension. Thinking about the term male privilege is annoying really, because privilege, as a concept, even if it simply means having some advantages, should be taken & viewed in context.

Female privilege is way, way more weighted in society in today's world. Hence male suicide rates, educational attainment being better for women (education systems geared towards female learning) etc.

Even higher earning rates for males is a female advantage, since women benefit from that. Most women aren't stupid enough to want to spend their life wasted away, in a spiritually empty corporate vacuum.

Okay, if you want to be pedantic...

Russia is still on a whole, very communist. Denying that is buying into propaganda. Just because the USSR has fallen, does not mean Russia has ceased to operate from the core of a communist ideology. They are a less powerful communist country today, but if they had the chance, they would rebuild the USSR.

Technically, China has an economy that is full-on capitalism - i.e, state controlled capitalism (not free market capitalism). But its entire governmental structure is communist, and there is only one political party that can be elected in China - The Chinese Communist party.

Please don't try to correct me when you are wrong.

Thanks.
