I dont think its the rest of Christians who are complaining that other people get to do their own thing on this day or that.

That would certainly be the ones who side with secularism and worldliness.

Polls are irrelevant. Who counts the votes is what matters, and only in key districts. Of course, lots of other cheating and gaming can happen too.

Biden can't lose.

I sure hope you’re right. Will you be voting in November?

Youre the one who said "Today is the most holy day to all Christians."

Some Christians manage to keep it holy while realizing that other people getting to do their own thing is the way the world should work, so long as we dont trample the rights of others.

Lesbian relationships are even more unstable than gay male ones. Women initiate 2/3rds of marriage breakups.

Given the state of men these days, I'm not surprised. Not the I blame the individual men generally. They inherit the mindset - or lack of - that the culture instills in them.

How does the mindset of men cause a higher amount of breakups in lesbian relationships?


If you were trying to compliment the mindset of men, you've worded that a bit strangely.

The quote i responded to was about marriages generally. Not just lesb marriages.

I knew I shoulda pre-bunked this story.

It is, or should be. But those keen on secularism and worldliness wouldn't ever complain about an issue like this.

Matt5 said:

Yes, there are issues with Christmas too. I guess that means we have to listen to atheists now.

Kind of interesting how we got here via the Marriage Equality Act on 26-June-2016. Five members of the Supreme Court decided on the fate of the nation. And now there is this Easter-Trans thing. Sounds like war to me. How long before it is official?

Tell ya what. If next year they change the date of trans visibility day to coincide with Easter again I’ll believe you that there’s a concerted effort to replace the Christian holiday but if it’s held on the 31st again, some here have to admit it was just a funny coincidence they lined up the same this year.

Im ok with the state recognizing in a non-compulsory way the various holy or important days of the worlds religions.

It does bring up the question of where do you draw the line. Does every little religion or spiritual tradition deserve recognition? Are little ones less deserving, less real, than the big ones?

The article says

The Transgender Day of Visibility, which was started in 2009 as a day of awareness to celebrate the successes of transgender and gender-nonconforming people, is held annually on March 31. The date of Easter, meanwhile, changes from year to year.

So how is Biden responsible for this if it started in 2009?

Really Easter is a man made holiday with pagan roots.

The Bible says nothing about Easter. The word “Easter” is not mentioned anywhere in Scripture.

We know our Lord was risen and really we should celebrate that every day.

Transvisible day was formed I think in 2017 to be March 31st of every year ... it just so happens this year it falls on easter Sunday and the Biden administration decided to outwardly include it with the easter celebration at the white house and thus brought it to the forefront. It's their idea of being "more inclusive".

The "act" by Biden is just another way to further divide people (it's political) ... and it's working to a certain degree.

Here are some others attached to March 31st ....

• NATIONAL CRAYON DAY - MARCH 31.
• NATIONAL PROM DAY | March 31. Founded in 2016 by National Day Calendar® and PromGirl.
• EASTER - Changes Annually.
• NATIONAL CLAMS ON THE HALF SHELL DAY - March 31.
• NATIONAL BUNSEN BURNER DAY - March 31.
• NATIONAL TATER DAY - March 31.

Anyways folks .... it's a political move and we shouldn't allow ourselves to be drawn into it imo

He is Risen ... and that is what is important .... not a specific day.

No, it was about comparing lesbian and gay marriages. Heterosexual marriages didn't factor into the post.

That's the sentence you left out in your quote.

I am a converted atheist. I do not think or sometimes even know all of the concepts of formal Christianity.
I am not overly concerned with terms like blasphemy attributed to my fellow man.

However, I was told that Biden had issued that proclamation.
I immediately responded "That is Blasphemy."

I was certain of that but I was not certain why I was certain.
I looked up blasphemy
"Blasphemy is an insult that shows contempt, disrespect or lack of reverence concerning a deity, an object considered sacred or something considered inviolable."

That was Trump's immediate response also.
This is interesting because I would normally use secular, modern terms such as "insulting, contemptuous"
So it is blasphemy at least in Protestant terms
I am learning an old fashioned word that I wasn't quite aware I even knew.

I don't think your or Trumps gut reaction defines "protestant terms".

If Trump thinks it’s blasphemous then it’s probably not.

If Trump said the sky was blue, the knee jerk Trump haters would say "he lies."
That is irrelevant.

The fact remains that Trump is Presbyterian.
From what I have read on the Catholic threads on the forum, the Catholics have much the same reaction.

Should every other occasion that relates to March 31 be silenced because Easter happened to fall on March 31 this year?

The Obama time-machine?

Romans, 1:21
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
...31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Those of you who wear your promotion of sin as a badge of courage, tolerance and moral superiority, you are worthy of death.

For those of you who may deem it improper to criticize 'your' president. Tough.
Mark, 6:17
For Herod had sent men to take John and put him into prison. He did this because of his wife, Herodias. She had been the wife of his brother Philip. 18 John the Baptist had said to Herod, “It is wrong for you to have your brother’s wife.”

Revelations 21:8
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

If you think encouraging gender confusion in children is appropriate,
Matt,18:6
“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!

Jude 1:5
Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. 7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
… 17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Romans, 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
