    Humans created wheat and grapes. The work of society’s long dead founders of agriculture deserves respect, yet we’re actively geoengineering an environment which cannot support their work.

    This is partly why I call it blasphemy when religious people say LGBTQ+ folks are “wrong.”

    If you believe in a god who can make no mistakes, who are you to question that? Would you say a caterpillar’s metamorphosis is sinful? Or a clownfish who changes sex as its conditions tell it to?

    Change, variety, and self expression are core to all life on earth. The duty of human self-awareness is to protect and honor that.

      Fortunately the Indigenous nation where I’m from is very trans friendly. Their religion places a lot of emphasis on self determination. They say it’s our job as trans people to understand ourselves, and their job as members of their culture to respect that. If they became hateful, they wouldn’t be the same culture anymore.

        I can’t for my life remember where I read it, but I once read that God made the world logical so that we can do things and be involved. So like, yeah He can grow plants and make nature abundant, but He gave us farming so we can cultivate food for ourselves. And He can cure disease, but instead of it always being a miracle, He made it so we can make medicine and do surgeries to help each other. So following that thinking, He gave us the ability to make hormone blockers and do gender affirming surgeries so we can be involved in creation and support others

      i think then from their inception (or very early on) judeism and christianity would be plasphemous, because they prescribe laws, which it is supposedly wrong to break.

    Nah, it’s just elitism. Remember Jesus? ‘This bread is my flesh, eat it. This wine is my blood, drink it.’ etc?

    It’s like saying “only we have the good stuff, pray we share it with you”…
