Recently, I got the following email from Brian - a Transgendered person (hereafter with a capital “T” to reflect the superior insight of people who have had sex changes) who I assume was once named Brianna:
"The fact that you are in a position to teach young people, yet espouse your bigoted views, shows what an immoral person you are. Jesus says not to judge others, yet you choose to condemn a segment of society, not for their moral value, but instead, out of your dislike for the fact that they are not close enough to your ideology to allow yourself to feel comfortable. Their is no moral issue of someone that needs to pursue a transgendered lifestyle, as it usually is the only means that one afflicted can avoid suicide. Trans people can live as morally as anyone else in society, they have just altered their appearance to feel more comfortable with themselves."
"The fact that you consider yourself to be a religious person is especially disheartening. I was raised with a Christian upbringing, and yet what I see is the religious right doing everything possible to condemn, degrade, and stop anyone that is different from them. This is not what God teaches. "
"I am a transgendered person, not by choice, it is the way God made me. I need to deal with that, and I will. I do not have to deal with intolerance from bigots. I feel sorry for you in your close bigoted world. I think that it is people like you that have made religious ideology the main reason people die in wars all across the world. Your views show yourself as being no better than the terrorists around the world targeting other innocent victims. Congratulations on your Jihad against other creatures of God."
Reading this missive (actually it used to be a missive, now it’s a mister-ive) inspired a few questions for my Transgendered critic. They follow in their natural and surgically unaltered form:
1. Why did you say that “Jesus says not to judge others” just one sentence after calling me an “immoral person”? Is calling someone “immoral” a judgment? Is calling someone “immoral” immoral?
2. Where in the New Testament does Jesus say not to judge others? I thought he warned of the consequences of hypocritical judgment.
3. Doesn’t the New Testament contain more references to hell than the Old Testament? Who keeps making those references?
4. You state that I “choose to condemn a segment of society, not for their moral value, but instead, out of (my) dislike for the fact that they are not close enough to (my) ideology.” Why did you then categorically judge the “religious right” in the next paragraph? Was that what Jesus was talking about when he said “Judge not, lest ye be judged”? Was it merely hypocrisy that he was talking about?
5. When you state that “this is not what God teaches” are you suggesting that there is only one interpretation of the Bible? Are you a fundamentalist? Were you born that way? In other words, did God make you that way?
6. When you state that God made you Transgendered, didn’t you mean to say that God made you a woman? Didn’t you surgically subvert the will of God? God didn’t actually perform the surgery, did he?
7. I have spent a good deal of time in prisons. I once spoke to a pedophile. Did God make him that way? Was acting on his impulse to rape children the will of God?
8. Is criticizing the Transgendered morally equivalent to mass murder?
9. Do you mean to suggest that I am morally unqualified to teach because I believe that the Transgendered are mentally ill? Why can’t you just allow me to make these statements outside the workplace without your moral condemnation? Who was it who said “I do not have to deal with intolerance from bigots”? Wasn’t that you?
10. If you people want to be left alone, why do you keep writing me? And why do you keeping bothering my colleagues and so-called superiors with letters asking for me to be fired?
Sincerely,
Mike S. Adams

Lol...
No, is yours Jethro?
Go back read it again...real slow.
This is what gets me. Did God make pedophiles, mass murders, animal rapists, and every type of perversion under the sun? The biggest travesty was to add "regardless of sexual preference" to our laws. If your "preference" is for the opposite sex, or for children, or for animals, or for killing and eating your victims because that's the only way you get satisfaction, and suggesting that it should be protected, that's total BS!
"Is this the only mental illness treated by removing/adding a body part?"
No, liberalism can be treated by removing the head.
I'd say it's a Two-fer. Mike Adams nails it, as usual.
"No, liberalism can be treated by removing the head."
LOL!!
That's just like the old schoolyard taunt:
"Hey, want to get rid of ten pounds of ugly fat?
"Then cut off your head!!!"
DISCUSSION ABOUT:
"God made me transgendered"
This is an excellent commentary!

As ted kennedy said when asked about his sister's operation "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
"I am a transgendered person, not by choice, it is the way God made me."
Yeah...and God made me without tonsils or an appendix.
The Islamfacistists get it. That is why they cannot allow the Word to be even spoken in their lands. They know they are dead meat when the truth is spoken.
Mike Adams is great because he speaks the plain truth with humor and logic. He never falls into the emotional traps that trip up so many others. That's why the ridiculous arguments of the left never even touch him.
People are born retarded, or with birth defects. They don't run out to a mad scientist doctor to get MADE that way. The only thing this person was born with was a illness.
God made me with an attaction to women. I guess that means I should have sex with as many as possible?
Surely He wouldn't have wanted me to learn restraint and settle down with just one.
"But my favorite is when biblically illiterate libs try to cite scripture. They are simply way out of their element."
Hmm...a certain former first lady's view on illegal immigration comes to mind...
If this a hint at the future behavior of democRATs, I can see the future of liberalism now...
Ted Kennedy: "Jesus...uh... had wine at the...uh... last supper, so God wants us to be...uh... able to drink and drive."
Hillary Clinton: "I was named after God...whose real name is Hillary."
Bill Clinton: "When Jesus said 'Let he without sin cast the first stone' referring to an adulteress...he was saying adultery is okay...well, that depends on what the meaning of 'was' is..."
John Kerry: "I was a war hero in the Crusades..."
Hillary Clinton: "Jesus brought Lazarus back to life...so it must be okay to kill babies..."
George Soros: "What? "'Camel through the eye of a needle'? Somebody find a big needle and a small camel!"
I'm a female gay man.....my partner is a male lesbian.
{{SOB}} At last, we can come out of the closet!!!
Yup!
