God is the creator of all of us yet many of you judge some he has created. It's not your place to judge. It's his to judge. I would have to say he is testing us.....who is accepting and who is intolerant. It's very telling. And don't quote anything in the bible because it was written by men not god.
Men used the pen but God inspired each and every word just as though it came from His mouth.
One of my favorite movie scenes from the "Death Wish" movies....
Charles Bronson is dating a pretty woman.
She goes to the restroom to powder her nose, and a man in a wig and a dress wearing lipstick comes up behind her and smashes her face into the mirror, saying how "sad" it is that she'll never be pretty again.

The new normal, brought to us by the libs.
Because real people behave like fictional characters in movies.
Please cite research into a left wing authoritarian personality.
Your opinions don't hack it.
Has nothing to do with opinion. This is a matter of definitions, both legitimate and false types, of which the false types have become the accepted reality.
History shows a pretty clear record regarding authoritarianism … and unless your mind has been so propagandized and manipulated with those false definitions, and you therefore are incapable of coming to terms with reality, you would have to agree that communism is absolutely left wing … socialism is also leftwing, though milder than communism … i.e. communism-lite. You would also have to agree that communism is ultra authoritarian in nature … it simply doesn't get much more authoritarian than Stalin's Soviet Union, or Mao's Communist China.
Then we have the false definition that Hitler's Nazis are the prime example of "rightwing authoritarianism". This hogwash has been drummed into people's heads for as long as I've been alive, yet no one has been able to show me the vast material ideological difference between Nazism and Communism from a purely left-right perspective. Both share similar ideological positions when it comes to the State's preeminent authority over all matters, including industry and private business, individual rights .. political opinion, personal privacy, individual liberties, etc. I suppose, if one were simple minded enough to fail to understand that leftist regimes can indeed oppose one another as enemies, you could conclude that Nazis were rightwing simply because they opposed Stalin's leftist USSR. And that probably explains some of the confusion.
Nevertheless, the best definition I've seen that defines left versus right is very simple. On the extreme left, you have total state control over everything … this defines Stalin's USSR quite well. This is the ultimate form of statist authoritarianism. As you move toward the right, the State's authority lessens, while individual liberties increase toward libertarianism. On the extreme right you have no State authority whatsoever, or Anarchism, where all behavior is free and self regulated, rather than regulated by an Authority.
Consequently, there is no such thing as rightwing authoritarianism … only leftwing. Any group that promotes/embraces the philosophy that the State or Government authority supersedes the authority of the individual is by definition, authoritarian. If such a group is also labeled "Rightwing" … the label is inaccurate.
The right wing authoritarian personality is a well researched psychological profile of those who tend to lean right politically.
There's lots of good reading on the subject.
Right wing authoritarianism (RWA) is a personality trait, conceived by psychologist Bob Altemeyer. The right wing authoritarian personality consists of three attributes:
Authoritarian submission: submissiveness and acceptance of authorities which are perceived to be legitimate and established in society, such as government or the police.
Authoritarian aggression: aggression against outgroups and “deviants”–people who the established authority mark as targets. Examples of this includes travellers, immigrants, Muslims and other kinds of scapegoats.
Conventialism: high adherence to traditions and established social norms. This can manifest in a respect for “traditional family values”, for example.
What? Those here who are pro men taking pictures of their daughters in bathrooms please raise your hands. Didn't think so.
Can you tell us who is transgendered and who is an imposter? If you can I sure wish you would.
