I have no issues with any of these groups of people you mentioned. I see Muslims and gay people in downtown Denver every day and none of them have attacked each other. Despite what Breitbart wants you to think, not every Muslim person living in the USA wants to burn down America.
Everybody doesn't have a black and white tunnel vision of the world, spillerNburr. Open you mind and try to understand that not everybody thinks the way you do. I say that honestly, not trying to be a smartass.
And you use the term "genderbender tranny." Sounds like you're the intolerant person we need to be worried about.
People miss the point. Why do the tenants of Christianity have to change because of society?
Does God care what society thinks? The church is not supposed to be of the world but help guide the world.

Obviously, the animosity towards gays is radically different between the two religions. The old school Christians want to "cure" the gayness while the old school Muslims prefer a tall tower or a good pile of stones.
I look forward to the day when gay bashing is a rare event.

I think the bigger (and more important) issue here is that there are hundreds of thousands of people like the OP out there in the USA. People who are afraid that every Muslim they see in Wal-Mart or at Starbucks wants to kill them, and every gay/transgender person they see in Target would sexually assault them if they were in the bathroom together.
There are so many people that aren't tolerant of people different from them, and they chose to demonize what they don't like/don't understand. In 2017, when sometimes it feels like America has come so far as a country, you read the OP of this thread and it's a sobering reminder that there are still thousands and thousands of people who are intolerant and hateful of anything that is different from them.

Are you going to elaborate further? Or are you just going to vaguely imply that you think I'm lying (you're wrong btw) without saying how?
and who defines that or should I say keeps redefining that?
If you have to keep redefining what God thinks then you pretty much failed as a church.
