Now that's an instance where the sex you were born with matters, because if you say you're a different gender/sex than the one you were born with, I can't think of too many doctors who would automatically assume you're transgender and treat you for gender specific causes, like...

I think the issue there was that she falsely claimed Native American ancestry to get a college scholarship, which does raise serious ethical questions, especially since some tribes don't consider anyone with less than a certain percentage of Native American DNA to be one.

Does the biblical teaching also mean that we must welcome everyone who wants to come to our country illegally? I'm fine with immigrants coming here to seek asylum, provided they follow the proper legal channels for doing so, and yes, there are ways to legally seek asylum in another country...

Mexico's already sick of these people. I was there recently, and the overwhelming majority want the caravan to turn around and go back to their countries.

I think your vision might be closer to the truth than what the paintings depict. The paintings tend to depict Jesus as looking more European/Caucasian, when in reality, He lived in the Middle East, so I'd assume he had a more Mediterranean/Arab complexion, which is sounding like what your vision...

Depends, because some people might have a hard time with the Old English style of the KJV. I personally can understand it, because I've read a lot of Shakespeare, which was written around the time that the KJV came out, but I get that some people have an easier time understanding NKJV/NIV...

I love that book, and I completely agree with his premise

God, because the Bible clearly states that all that is required to be forgiven is confess your sins before the Lord, not your priest, pastor, rabbi, etc.

Welcome to CF

I once saw a video that explains what the difference between belief and faith is, at least in my eyes. There was a guy demonstrating a flight suit, and you could see that he landed fully unharmed. So I believe that it works, because I saw the results, but I wouldn't necessarily have the faith to...

If you're only going to use it for flying, and nothing else, I think that's perfectly okay. In my view, there's really no difference between taking a Xanax to help calm down during a flight, and taking Dramamine so that you don't get motion sickness, which I've done numerous times on planes and...

More like the "experts" throwing all their so called expertise behind educating our girls while simultaneously emasculating our boys

I'm currently reading The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Somers. It's a very interesting read about how our education system is failing our boys/young men.

The innocence I enjoyed as a child

The Power by Naomi Alderman

I can't speak for anyone else on this forum, but the reason I choose to identify as non denominational and go to a non denominational church is because I just want to know about Jesus/God and apply those teachings to my everyday life without getting bogged down in the, to me, trivial doctrinal...

Jesus had far more than 12, or 13 if you count Paul, disciples. Sure there were only a small number of apostles, but he had more people that followed Him and were considered disciples. Among those were Mary, Martha, Mary Magdalene, and other females. So we have to realize that it's entirely...

Yeah. The author is a big name in the science fiction and fantasy genre, which is why you've most likely heard of her. It's a very interesting take on what a society would be like if the whole gender/sex thing was mostly kept dormant.

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin

For real. Anyone who says religion has killed the most people needs to read up on just how many murders were committed by staunch atheists/communists Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong. In fact, Hitler and Stalin were close allies in the decade before WWII broke out.
