  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You do understand that only Christianity is true, right?
You do understand that there are other religions in this country, right?

When you chop off a boys penis, what else would you call it?
When it happens under care of a doctor after years of supervision by a team of doctors, we’d call it “a layman’s over simplification of somebody else’s medical treatment.”

You didn’t answer my question. But yes, I do. But only one is true. You do understand that, right?

So a bunch of evil people conspiring together somehow makes it good? You may want a refresher on the OT.

If his parents and his doctors think it's the right thing for him, then it's not mutilation any more than it would be if they took his appendix out.

So you think because you think yours is right, yours should be legislated? What if a radical fundamentalist from any other religion who also thought their religion was the right one (as most people don’t follow religions they believe to be wrong) started imposing their values legally?

I would, but I need to go to my cabal of evil people conspiring together to give me a hysterectomy.

See, that's it. They're "evil." As a medical person you could make an argument that they were just wrong to do it, but it would have to be on a case-by-case basis. You could also, as a Christian, easily make the case that they are sinners. But to say they are "evil" implies some further sinister motivation or objective on their part. That's the part we are having a hard time seeing.

If they were nice enough to apologize, what's the big deal? I don't get the Easter thing, either. Is it a special holiday to accommodate the feelings of those whose religious mission is to regulate the sex lives of others?
We don't care how they have sex we just want them to stop telling kids about it

What if he decides he's a pirate and he wants a peg leg and a hook hand?
Cutting his leg and hand off are more like cutting his penis off because taking an appendix out is necessary to treat a life threatening condition.
Chopping off body parts is not

The kids who are interested already know,
Some of them know how to use a gun so should we teach all of them how to use guns?
Just because some know about something it's not an excuse to start teaching it

I have a hard time seeing how that could be part of an approved treatment plan for gender dysphoria, He would probably have to wait until he was eighteen.

Chopping off body parts is not
Likewise, they ought not to cut his penis off unless they consider his present condition psychologically dangerous, The penis isn't "cut off" anyway. You ought to look into how it's done.
