A) where was the pedophilia in this case? He was not arrested by the way, that tells you something.
B) I've pointed out that while I have no objection to trans people being in a bathroom, I have a HUGE objection to allowing a penis bearer into a women's change room. The man in this case I have no doubt was making the point that the bylaw was stupid and harmful, and I think it is. I also have a huge objection for a vagina bearing person in a men's change room for the same reason.
So to sum up, bathroom, who cares. Locker/change room, we all should care.
Good, bad and evil are all relative terms. Nobody is born evil.
Someone can't be evil, if they haven't done anything evil.
Evil, stripped of its theological assertions, is simply doing stuff that is harmful to others or collectively to society. That has to do with actions. You can not be guilty of something when you are born a tabula rasa with respect to your actions in the world and at that point lack even the ability to understand why something is harmful or how to avoid it. After all the law of god is transmitted via language and you have neither language nor literacy at that point. Nor can you be responsible for the acts of others, including your ancestors.
Recognizing this, fundamentalists don't really claim a child who has not reached their contrived "age of accountability" is guilty of evil, but has an evil nature that guarantees that they will eventually reach the "age of accountability" in such a way that they have sins to account for at and beyond that point.
After that righteousness is literally "right-ness", right thinking rather than right actions. It must be so, because Christians manifestly continue to sin, but are forgiven based not on their actions but on having the correct faith-based belief in the correct savior.
I asked Petunia for clarification. I'd like to see her response. If I said it I'm not going to duck it--I'm not averse to the truth.
I've already responded. Which part is unclear?
