sure is a good thing, then that NOBODY IS ASKING FOR THAT except in your clearly deluded thought process.But once those kids go through puberty, gender based physical differences become huge. For vast majority of people.
You can't let a tiny fraction of intersexed individuals dictate matters for the rest of humanity.
My arguments, my position, stand on the (perhaps novel) idea that there are absolutely people alive today born with a penis who have not been significantly influenced in this way by testosterone.
Also, research on the subject of just how "huge" those differences are, especially after some passage of time, is not in strong evidence. You can't really even make these claims in the first place.
naw dude, that's communism. Though I don't mind that you can't tell the difference. Also, society has changed a lot, academics has moved a lot, since Marx hit the scene.Being social != socialism. Socialism is an ideology that states that means of production should be communally owned.
Jesus was a socialist.
1. This is an atheist forum. What do we care what Jesus might have been?
2. Socialism proper arose only after the Industrial revolution. Calling Jesus a socialist is thus an anachronism. It also requires cherry-picking verses. For an counterexample, in the Parable of the Talents seeking profit is seen as good.
1. I don't care, but lion does. The question is why do you care that I bring it up? In fact, this is not an atheist forum. It is a discussion board for free thought these days (not even rationalism, on which grounds I would argue certain posters wouldn't be welcome if we enforced).
2. Socialism is as old as society. That one guy wrote a lot about it at the time of the industrial revolution. That Jesus, or marx, or any of the great socialist thinkers didn't have a great grasp on the subject isn't really my problem. It doesn't change the fact that, for Lion, given that he literally claims to worship Jesus, he fails to do the most important thing Jesus actually asked for.
