I was about to say, why the fuck would you work for a Christian organization if you are trans? It's like being black and working for the KKK.
Not at all. If these people actually read the Bible they’d be completely fine with trans people. They don’t, they just make up shit to fit their preexisting beliefs and then call themselves Christian.
It depends what kind of Christianity you're dealing with. Where I live, most of the churches have rainbow flags on display with "everyone's welcome here" messages and lost of leftish liberals with fairly progressive views. Some even put pro-LGBTQ+ messages on their signs that call people out for bigotry. But Liberty University isn't that kind of Christianity.
There must be a bunch of episcopalians in your area
Yup. A lot of churches have the stance of "love thy neighbor. Did I fucking stutter?" and it's very refreshing after decades of nonstop hate. Not saying the hate isn't still out there, but we've come a long way even in the past 10 years.
I guess Jesus didn't consider his neighbor's slaves to be neighbors as well... Or is there something about a slave that makes them not need love like other humans?
I am quite certain that the churches I'm talking about are adamantly against slavery.
I think he's referring to Jesus' pro-slavery stances.
I'm just amazed they didn't figure it out sooner. She does look like she can pass, but I'm still amazed. You would think a place so paranoid of atheist librul indoctrination would run background checks before they hire anyone. Unless a background check wouldn't turn up her deadname, I guess...
It absolutely would. There might not be anything specific about gender identity, but it wouldn't be too hard to do the math.
I think it's more likely that they don't do background checks, because they don't want to appear on c/priestarrested.
I think you severely overestimate their ability to do math.
That's not a bad guess.
I'm a proguessive.
I see what you did there. And, I like it!
