    How is it an insult against Christians? And what does this make your hateful slurs okay? I never questioned that you used this hateful slur often. Using it often does not excuse it.

    Who decides what a slur is? And do you want to see the irony and double standards here? Tranny is a slur, trans is not. Both words are used to shorten a larger word.

    I guess slurs don't exist and you can call anyone the N word if you want, then!

    Of course I do, but the guy I mentioned tried to hide he was Iranian hoping the people in California would know Persians are Iranians.

    It's hateful because it is a pejorative meant to demean a group you don't like based on something they can't really change. Do you even understand what a slur is? Obviously not. You are using the same excuses I've heard from every racist in my family.

    I'm going to call BS. I'm in Texas, I was married to an Iranian, and even the most knuckle-dragging racist pieces of **** in my home town knew what that meant. I don't buy that this person changed his lingo in hopes of fooling some rightwing psychopaths in California.

    Very likely, depending on how they are used. If they are used in a pejorative, Steve N fashion, then absolutely.

    Jesus promoted free will which is what Biden is embracing. Good for Biden!

    “tranny" is widely considered a derogatory and offensive term when referring to transgender individuals. It's important to use respectful language and avoid terms that can be harmful or hurtful to others. Why don’t you stop arguing and use more appropriate terms or else you will be considered a bigot. It has been pointed out to you that your words are offensive. Most people would then use more appropriate terms.

    I was unaware that you had to want your religion forced on others in order to practice that religion. Can you explain why you believe that?

    I'll tell ya what...you get the libs on this board to stop calling us cons racists, haters, bigots, nazis, lovers of Putin, Islamophobes, homophobes, xenophobes, sexists, misogynists, fascists and so on, then I'll return the favor - not because I think the word tranny is a slur, I don't, but because a good deed should get another good deed in return. Oh, while I'm not religious, some cons here are and they would probably appreciate if the left stopped ridiculing Christianity.

    How is just simply not being an absolute dick and bully to trans people "ridiculing Christianity"? I'm sorry you think so little of Christ.

    What I said is true. The Muslim who said America terrorized OBL was in El Paso. When word got out what he said, he immediately took a transfer to Kansas.

    Can't have any religious designs on Easter eggs on the very religious day of Easter.

    Critics rip Biden proclamation that Easter Sunday is ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’

    Christian academics also scoffed at the announcement.

    “In my expert theological opinion, Mr. Biden has repeatedly demonstrated that he’s far more committed to the progressive faith than the Catholic one,” Chad C. Pecknold, a professor of theology at Catholic University told The Post.
    .....................
    The Biden Administration has also taken steps to remove its more Christian components from his official celebrations. (edit: Obama did that same thing)
    .....................
    At Monday’s 2024 White House Easter Egg Roll children of the National Guard are prohibited from submitting religious designs.

    “The submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements,” a flyer for the event reads.

    If Biden started signing bibles and handing them out would that make you feel better?

    I think it’s a great thing to see a president understand that government should be secular while also acknowledging important events to individuals choosing to follow those religions.

    That said, why do you think it’s ok for a religious holiday to mean that only that event be mentioned? A day can mean many things to different people.

    Trans visibility day has been on march 31st since 2010. People ripping Biden for it falling on easter make no sense.

    Here's is Biden's announcement. Regardless that the 31st represents something to some people (happy?) the first time Biden chose to pander to them was on Easter. He could have done this any other year, but he did not.

    And for those among you who are concerned about people being offended because one specific word was shortened for ease of typing, what do you say to the Christians who are offended by Biden choosing this date to celebrate what many Christians are against?

    And it's not my fault some snowflakes are insulted when I shorten words.

    Tell me, if I drew a picture of Mohammad and Muslims blow a gasket, would you call them snowflakes, or would you call me all kinds of names? I think we both know what you would do.

    It's not about Christianity. It's about respecting people. The Christian message is to love your neighbour. I don't believe in God but what the Bible teaches resonates with me. Be that person who doesn't use slurs and just accept there will always people out there who ridicule everything. They won't change and it's not just lefties. Don't be the person who puts down transgender people by using a derogatory term to describe them.
