Those facts are wrong.
Yes, that is correct, those aren't actually facts.
In fact, no scriptural narrative is factual.
So, we might be able to pin down locations.
But as for what people may have uttered.
We have no way of substantiating anything that might have been said.
And what might have been said, certainly wasn't uttered in English.

Well, Stephen.
And you're accused of trolling.
It would be futile to try and explain the internal chemistry that is spirituality, to a brain so intelligent and transcended that fails to overlook the basic concepts of reality.
Whatever reality might be of course.

So, are you pro-life or just selectively pro-life?
Is your moral concern for living matter absolute?
Or are you happy to make exceptions, like most pro-lifers do?

@YouFound_Lxam
This forum is awash with argument and counter argument.
Which proves that nothing has ever been factually substantiated, either for or against the existence of a creator GOD, whose name if it actually exists might be Jesus or Dave for all anybody knows.
Or Daisy.
Or Big Boom.
Or nothing at all.
So, prove me right or wrong.
And I will prove you wrong or right.
Well, of course neither of us will prove anything other than ongoing inconclusivity.

Nah.
GODO was Jesus's dad Deb.
GODO being an acronym.
Gentleman Of Dubious Origin.
Who snook up in the night and gave Mary one whilst she was dreaming about the donkey.
Daft Joe was out back feeding the donkey.
Or tending to the sheep, as it were.
Jesus! exclaimed Mary
God almighty! exclaimed Joe
Baaaaaa! exclaimed the sheep.

Because ownership of land is a temporary assumption and possessions are for as long as you last.
And if only anarchy could be so passive.
So, Mr A chooses X for himself, and everyone else chooses X for themself.
So, in the absence of a greater authority to decide who is entitled to X, then what?
Well, being the U.S. I suppose the guns come out of the cupboard.
Well, I would imagine that the guns would already be out in an anarchistic utopia.

Can I just point out:
A. We don't even know that a creator GOD actually exists.
B. Therefore, we have no idea what a hypothetical creator GOD might see or reject.
Might I suggest that you temper such hypotheses with I would suggest, or in my opinion, or as I see it, or as I interpret things, or it is my belief etc.

Well, perhaps I should report the post then.
And how might I be a sycophant?
And what is sycophant nonsense?
You say a lot of stupid stuff.
And children are fed knowledge from the moment they are born.
And what once wasn't available to them, is now available at the tap of a button.
Innocent 9-year-olds is a naive assumption.
Sycophants are the ones wearing red caps and stupid grins on their faces, standing behind Donald Trump.

Read my posts on this subject and you will find, that in the main I agree with you.
I was just responding to TW's naive comment about 9 year-olds.
Perhaps TW did have a sheltered, austerely religious upbringing.

No idea what that means.

Fair enough.
I view Xi with mixed feelings.
On the one hand he seems quite ruthless.
And on the other he displays a certain pragmatism.
That's what it takes I suppose.

@TWS1405
And it is somewhat stupid to suggest that a 9-year-old will have no idea of sexuality.
Maybe in some retro thinking isolationist religious community.
Where young men spend their days wanking behind haystacks and then spend their evenings praying to the Lord for forgiveness.
And the young women.
Well, you can dream about what the young women get up to the next time you visit the metaphorical haystack.

What's a passive anarchist?
The opposite of an aggressive anarchist I suppose.
Anarchy being every person for themself.
Which is OK until everyone decides upon anarchy.
I'm not sure that total anarchy can ever be a natural state of co-operation and good intentions.
And possessions are temporary adornments, and all ownership of land is theft. So it's said.
And isn't life a ride?
Some might say a rollercoaster.
One big up and down if you're lucky.

"Knowing one is a woman in a male body".
So, if one knows that one is a woman in a male body.
Then one also knows that one is in fact male.

Very true Pol.
But don't forget the nuances of personality, mind and soul.
Even men have nuances of personality, mind and soul.
Of the fucking World.
For sure Poly.
Even if that is a pipette fucking an egg on a petri dish.
Created:
@Poly
And so, what will you constructively add to the debate.
The nuances of personality and mind are nurtured traits.
And soul is an assumption, or a nurtured assumption we consign to personality and mind.
The base reproductive systems of the human species are inherent and undeniably binary.
Male and female, sperm and egg.
Wherein lies men's hatred for women.
Only in your personality and mind Poly.

Individual dissent.
So, would you accept the label of anarchist. Albeit a passive anarchist (another assumption)
Though it seems that you tolerate the current system as I do, sort of along for the ride as long as a reasonably stable status quo is maintained.

How does a decision by referendum which can't be challenged fair better than an un-elected aristocratic monarchy?
Well, the answer lies in the question.
The former is the majority will of the people and the latter isn't.
Though whether or not either the former or latter decision is the better in the long run cannot ever be judged.
And the basic idea of the system allows for the decision to be challenged after a fixed period.
Such a system would still require administrative and legal governance.
Though your previous questioning only asked how I might feel a sense of inclusion in a governmental process.
I'm not saying that I would want to challenge the current system.
As I've stated on previous occasions, I have a social niche I am comfortable with, and successive governments have not affected that comfort.
Hence, I do not feel the need to vote.

@YouFound_Lxam
If one can choose sexuality, then this obviously implies that sexuality can be a consciously inspired decision rather than and inherently inspired decision.
Nurture rather than nature as it were.
Though whether this is actually the case is uncertain.
What's certain though is that evolutionary changes are affecting the way that the species functions, both physiologically and socio-psychologically.
Psychologically inspired mutation of base physiological systems perhaps.
Or maybe external environmental changes have an impact at a biological level.

Government by referendum, whereby all major decisions are voted for by the people and all majority decisions are unchallengeable for a fixed period.
As it stands a vote every five years just for a parliamentary representative is simply a powerless and meaningless notion of inclusion.

A day is only 24 hours long and you've got to be somewhere doing something.
A lot of that time is dedicated to basic functionality.
A smaller proportion is hunter gathering time
And a smaller proportion still is leisure.
Don't be fooled by media propaganda into thinking that the lives of rich people are any different.
Contentment is in how we socially interact and how we manage our thoughts.
And "If" is a futile thought.
Steve Jobs suffered the effects of pancreatic cancer for eight years and died at the age of 56.
So just aspire to backward tick your dots better than that.

Who thought up all this binary/non-binary nonsense?
Egg producer, sperm producer is the binary basis of the species.
Developmental anomalies will occur, as they will in all areas of physiology.
And cutting ones dick off and calling oneself Daphne is one of the many possibilities of modern fantasyville.
That's not to say that modern fantasyville won't/isn't helping to shape the material future.
As ever: Teach your kids nonsense and they will grow up believing in nonsense.
