Theist rule #009 dismiss all accusations of religious bigotry with a bigoted generalisation about atheists or atheism.

You know what glib facile pithy responses are easy. I imagine it's something to do with completely ignoring all the content and argument and evidence and simply invoking a facile ad hominem fallacy.

Here's a clue, he hasn't run out of arguments, they're in his post you just responded to.

I'll dumb them down and bullet them since you're struggling:

1) His bigotry is a result of his inability to accept ideas or points of view that are contrary to his religious indoctrination. Evidenced by the fact that he can offer no cogent reason as to why he even cares what gender other people identify as, or who other people love and have sex with.
2) He attached a cartoon strip designed to enlighten bigots as to why their bigotry is facile and pernicious. It showed a daughter explaining to her father that she didn't feel the need to justify who she is.
3) The strip also explained that transgender "isn't catching" as we often hear religious bigots describe acceptance of ideas like transgender and homosexuality that run contrary to their religious indoctrination as some sort of slippery slope, though they never offer any cogent explanation or evidence of why they think this.
4) Lastly he posed a moral question in response to (avoids) seeking the truth in response to one of his many bigoted remarks about gay and transgender people. "If you saw some of your co-religionists about to throw a transgender person off a rooftop would you intervene?"

So your post is as dishonest as it asinine, since he didn't run out of arguments at all.

If this is an actual incident, then why are you so into bashing transgenders?

I have known several gays, lesbians, bisexual, and transgenders throughout my long life. I have never had any problem with any of them. Even the gays that would mention, as they would say it, "having a hard on" for me, would simply make my wife jealous and when we were alone, well. you get the picture. I have heard lesbians say the same about my wife, but some reason it did not make me jealous, just made me "want" my wife even more.

Although my wife and I never experimented outside of just us two, we had had discussions about it. We just found that we were in love with each other so deeply, we were all we needed.

As far as I am concerned, and Sheldon has said the same, as long as people keep it to themselves and behind closed doors and are HARMING no one else, who the fuck am I to dictate to others whom they can love?

And get this, it was not even my province to dictate to my wife whom she could love. Yes, she loved me, but that was HER choice. Not mine. Which of course made me the luckiest man to ever exist in all history. And, yes, I am biased.

Additionally, who the fuck am I to dictate to any person they identify as to their gender? I have admitted it in several posts. I even dated a transgender and SHE was a very delightful person to be around. We dated for about 14 months before I got the job at Yellowstone. SHE wanted to stay with her mom, who was her staunchest supporter. SHE also wanted to help care for her mom since her siblings would not. Thus, we separated, but only on the best of terms. If I had not gotten that job with Yellowstone, we'd still be in a relationship.

And my previous statement about what you MIGHT be, is as Sheldon put it. In my long years, it has also been my experience that most inexorable Absolutists also tended to harbor very deep identity problems. And the sub-conscious can work the wickedest whammies inside a person's mind for dealing with these inconsistencies. I also never said you were, just that "I think." And what "I think" about a person's possible true stance means nothing. That person will show his/her stance by their speech and actions. In other words, in a very old adage, "the proof is in the pudding."

What I cannot understand is if you can have that stand for a homosexual, then why cannot you have the same for transgenders?

" i honestly do not know what the point of your comic strip is."

I doubt that somehow, but if that's the case then the bigotry you have voiced here is at least partly explained, though it remains unconscionable of course. Voicing a viewpoint that denigrates a person for who they are is not only pernicious it is in most civilised countries now considered to be active discrimination, and therefore illegal. Religious beliefs are a choice, being gay or suffering from gender dysphoria isn't. You are comparing the choice to make bigoted and prejudiced remarks, with someone being who they are, they're not remotely the same. What's more I wouldn't seek out a person to denigrate any belief they held, I would only object if they voiced those beliefs publicly, and I considered those belief to be pernicious.

I have said it before and I'll say it again, you can believe the moon is made of cheese if it makes you happy, but when you start insisting the right to teach children the belief is comparable with objective facts, or that your cheese moon has rules others must obey, then I am going to object. Your thread is asking transgender people to justify who they are, and it's none of your business. What's more by calling it a delusion young clearly set the tone as one of religious bigotry, despite your and Breezy's histrionics over the word. You also lied and claimed it was classified as a mental disorder.

"One thing does not affect the other. Id rather have a doctor that knows what he's doing, "

Of course the one thing affects the other, a doctor or any medical practitioner has to base their treatment on scientific facts, not woo woo superstition. If they cherry pick which facts they'll accept and deny ones that contradict archaic creation myths then I wouldn't leave them anywhere near me or mine. What's more they have an obligation to disclose to their patients if they are using superstition to overrule known medical facts.

" is very mainstream about his scientific beliefs."

Science isn't based on beliefs, it;s based on objective empirical evidence, where are you being schooled?

"Then again, you're not a reasonable person, so of course you'll make decisions on irrelevant information."

You don't think it is reasonable to want a doctor to accept medical facts like species evolution? Or are you seriously going to claim that medical science does not consider this a fact? I think the hilarity of you calling anyone unreasonable in the middle of that sentnece speaks for itself John.

"Id rather have a doctor that knows what he's doing, even if he believes in aliens, denies the holocaust, and argues that the earth is flat,"

A laughable straw man John fair play, you know we were referring to biological facts like species evolution through natural selection. However it speaks volumes you think a doctor can "know what they are doing" when they are so devolved from reality as to believe the world is flat.
