    But you specifically only referred to women. As if they are the only ones blessed and thankful for their body.
    And have a mission with said body. The only thing women can do different is bear children.

    I am a man. I get up and do the work I've done for 45 years every day. Generally, it is hard physical work. My health is fine and Iook forward to the challenge. I am grateful I am a man. Don't know many women that do the work I do. I am thankful for my body. So there....I taught you something about gratitude. Of course you are just an "accident" so you, an atheist, don't need to be grateful for anything

    You taught me nothing. Except how you feel about women and their purpose in life, according to you.

    And then your silly projection. But if you have a post stating I'm an atheist, please quote it. Else, it's you trying to make yourself feel important. Ego issues?

    Why does a woman only have to have a single aspect to her purpose?

    The point is, its being normalised to the point where it has the possibility to impact the lives of people around them.

    That's very simple. Faith and faith alone.

    Ephesians 2:8-9

    8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

    God of money? Are you referring to people who follow the prosperity preachers who are on TV?

    Impact? How?
    Oh, school locker rooms. It is an issue that will need to be addressed for sure.
    But they are human, and have the same feelings and emotions any other human has. So it's a sticky situation. No longer should we keep them underground and hidden. Not a human or christian thing to do.

    Don't ask me, I didn't make the claim they are thankful to have a woman's body and have a mission.

    Ephesians? Wasn't that written by Paul, formerly Saul, the persecutor of christians? Claimed to have a vision that no one but he can verify?

    What is written on what Jesus actually said about receiving eternal bliss? Got any of those quotes?

    So, if I don't have faith I won't go to heaven, even if I otherwise am a very good person and adhere to the teachings of Jesus? What about Japanese? They never have a chance to have faith in Jesus. Do they all go to hell, even if they are good people? if that's the case then God is pretty cruel.

    As for the god of money, you don't have to look at people like Osteen, just following posts of many Christians on this forum will make that point.

    What? :confused: How is that?

    You mean people who basically say that if you're a true Christian, you will have lots of wealth? And if you don't have alot of wealth, then you do not have sufficient faith?

    Yeah. And your point is?

    You mean the promise of eternal bliss to believers? Again, and your point is?

    He didn't make the claim that women only have a single purpose. That's what you took from what he said.

    So you DON'T think that women should should be thankful to be a woman and you DON'T think they have a mission?

    SCHOOL locker rooms? How about ANY locker rooms! Target isn't a school and they had three incidents in three months! School locker rooms are actually less problematic than others, as only students are using them. Swimming pool locker rooms, bathrooms and fitting rooms on the other hand are where adults are sharing a space with children. What the hell makes you pick out school locker rooms?

    I agree with all of that, but are you saying that not allowing them to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of the gender with which they identify is keeping them "underground and hidden?"

    That is just one school of thought among Christians. Others believe where there are no works, there is no faith. It requires both. Others believe you are judged for you actions; that your actions are a reflection of your faith. But without action your faith is hollow.

    And others believe we are like the wheat and the tares; destined to be what we are. God condemned the damned long before they ever existed.

    Yeah of course.

    Actually all Christians believe that we are judged for our actions and that actions are a reflection of faith, its just that some believe that the judgement can go as far as God not considering someone to have faith.

    Then we are clearly not saved by faith alone.

    Personally, I was saved by sex with hookers. But that's another discussion. :D

    Her name was Faith... [that would be too funny!]

    Let me make it clear - all Christians believe that we are judged for our actions and that actions are a reflection of the STRENGTH of faith.
