Those were not mean-spirited words, they were truthful words. Words that people who support those delusional acts cannot tolerate because they know they are true about them.
Humm. I am sure if someone called you delusional you would not take it so well.
There are other ways to get your point across without being hurtful. Maybe explore, if willing.
Thanks for engaging!

Reading the comments in the link, there does seem to be some critical comments allowed on there. At least as "mean" as the one you tried posting. Although maybe the AI mod couldn't pick up on that given the wording?

Personally, I have no issue with the comment you tried posting, as long as your statements come from a genuine heart. Others might find them "mean" but that's just the reality of people having different perspectives. Now if you referred to trans people as "freaks" or used transphobic slurs in your post that would be more uncalled for.

Trans people and allies certainly say just as mean or harsher stuff at people who do not automatically and uncritically affirm them. Which I personally find offensive. Even then.. I am for their free speech too.

Whether they are true words is up for debate, but it is saddening how many seem to think if something is disturbing to them it can't possibly be true. This criticism applies to both the left and the right.

Given this, I am wary of people who try to control social circles with pleas of kindness and their own ideas of respect. As a former Christian who was hurt by my former faith I am sensitive to anything that can hinder the pursuit of wanting understanding things as they are.. the idea that the way things are cannot be deeply disturbing is just a blind spot. Why should I waste my time with it?

You can give it but can you take it in return? Many would say the same about your belief in something you can neither see or touch that you’ve built your life around. If they called you delusional would you be offended?

You can say what you want about me, it doesn't bother me in the least bit. I know the Truth and God knows the Truth. No, I'm not offended if you call me delusional :oldthumbsup:. Again, I know the Truth and God knows the Truth. Being faithful to God is a natural feeling in our hearts and minds that all people have but some of us reject. But being a trans person is a negative feeling in the hearts and mind of all people except those who reject it. We, the faithful, know the Truth - that there are all sorts of proof on all levels that scream God's glory. Thank you for exposing your true feelings of have you view 80% of society - intolerant of religious people.

So, who determines if a word is "hateful"? Is there a dictionary of "hateful" words? Who wrote it? It seems like every word a normal person would use to describe a situation has been flagged "hateful" by this new word police. Yes, there are some derogatory words in the world but they have been derogatory for centuries. But "delusional" is now derogatory. So, if I feel I should be treated some special way by society, that's not delusional? Society will determine how I should be treated and I will learn to live with it. I can try to defend myself against societies views but society will give the final verdict. And society says a trans person is delusional.

For every pro there’s a con as @essentialsaltes noted. There’s a lot you’re not permitted to say about christian beliefs or denominations. Restrictions were put in place regarding vaccines and personal concerns during that period. Similar revisions were made concerning political discussions. No place is perfect and it really depends on your discourse. Even in supposedly no holds barred communities limitations remain.

I’ve been in a setting years ago that was more permissive. Long before woke, politics, gender and sjw‘s were a point of contention. And it was really ignorant. There were hot button topics that resulted in 50 pages of name calling and insults that wasn’t censored. They were really intelligent which made it worse and it was morbidly hilarious. But I was continually shocked by what they said and wouldn’t post the same. The lone thing they prevented were illegal subjects. Everything else was fair game.

That’s why restrictions have a place. You can’t allow people to say everything that comes to mind because it goes too far and I’ve seen it. And it diminishes the quality of life for the community in the long run.

~bella
Who are these word police? I only see the opposing side making up these "words that society should use because they offend". Yes, there are derogative words and they have been flagged for centuries as derogative. But just because somebody doesn't like a word, we can't just stop using it. You called me delusional in another post. Fine, go right ahead. I know the Truth and God knows the Truth and the vast majority of people on this planet who feel there is a God know the Truth. So, who is the delusional one here?

The use of " delusional " is an insult.
This can't be denied.

Consider the source, Hvizsgyak (i.e.: MSN). Where do they place on the political continuum of approximate bias in reporting? One should expect their media avenue to be censured in accordance with the central principles of their business praxis. Obviously, we don't have to agree with their praxis, but we do need to identify and acknowledge those who own the open pastures which we may be non-nonchalantly stepping into.
But aren't they the first ones to scream "censoring" when filthy trash books are taken out of elementary school libraries? Thank you for reminding me who we are dealing with here :).

You’re missing the point. The very thing you consider delusional from your perspective has an equitable response on the other side. And if you’re not prepared to hear the same about your beliefs you may want to modify your verbiage. As for your question, those are the policies on CF.

Thank you for exposing your true feelings of have you view 80% of society - intolerant of religious people.

The only thing that was exposed in this thread is your need for validation. You don’t know me at all and your comment is petty.

Bring it on, I've heard everything under the sun deriding Christians and it doesn't phase my beliefs. And it's hard not to know you, you are like a magnifying glass held up to the Sun scorching everything.

I’m not interested in your tête-à-tête or your projection about having your post rejected on MSN. Your comments say more about your character than you realize and has zero impact on my reality. Do as you will.

I’m trying to finish the second season of mormon wives. I don’t have time for the drama. I miss you in the other place. It’s not the same.

I've highlighted the parts that likely appeared repulsive, mean and/or hateful to the moderators of MSN, for your convenience.
So someone isn’t allowed to have an opinion or think it’s unnatural?

Tolerance goes both ways.

Good grief,

Using the word " delusional " and assigning it to the author from The Independent as well as the Trans community.
So, people should be forced to muzzle themselves if they don’t agree with an ideology? I just don’t understand.

That's surprising, because CF certainly isn't an ardent defender of free speech. Need I remind you.

Non-Christians
  • Keep in mind that this IS a Christian website and as such CF reserves the right to choose what content is appropriate.
  • All discussions with the intent of belittling or mocking Christians or Christianity will be promptly removed.
  • All discussions belittling Christians by calling them mentally inferior, ignorant, bigoted, etc. will be promptly removed.
  • All discussions blaspheming the Christian God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will be promptly removed.

I know from experience just how easy it is to offend some people on this site, and I've got the suspensions and reprimands to prove it.

Tolerance of intolerance is a problematic subject.
In a way, that is a good thing. As God's creation, we should not tolerate sinful things. Let the Ten Commandments guide you along. Does that mean you keep every commandment absolutely. We are also a fallen people and we will sin at times. But because we sin, that doesn't mean throw the Ten Commandments out because we fall short. No, strive for perfection just like our Heavenly Father is perfect. Get back up, ask for God's forgiveness and continue on.

So how does this relate to the trans issue. The trans issue was created by a fallen people trying to make something right. If you don't like your body, change it. And look at the chaos it has created in our society. Instead of God's will be done and stay the way God brought you into the world, we have our will be done and the heck with the rest of the world. Our wills will always fail in one way or another. God's way is perfect - follow it.
