She may yet be alive.
She had no say in how she was born, no more than I did.
Maybe one per cent of all the human beings ever born were transgender.
Another reason I can’t imagine ever being a Republican again is having to hate, despise and scorn those unfortunate souls.
I believe in an eternal fire in hell is reserved for those who mock the least of these, our brethren.
And I won’t risk it, myself.
By the time I was eight years old, I’d attended about a thousand church services on Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday evening, and had to take an hour long examination by the elders to have the privilege of being baptized and a full fledged church member.

I was a deacon at age ten and made an elder at fifteen.
The story of Christ was orally given by the first Christians to learned Greeks who wrote in down in Koine Greek. Three centuries later those were translated into Latin, and over a thousand later into English.
What Christ said about salvation and eternal life was this:
Matthew 25:19-42But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
And if you read further, it’s not good to act badly towards the stranger, the poor, or the needy.
Those that don’t do unto the least of these, shall burn in hell.
I cannot prove any, of the Christ story is true although I have sure and certain faith it is, all true.
If I’m right, and it’s true, then there’s not a chance death will find me any part of all the sheer wickedness and hatred and selfishness that’s MAGA.
There just might actually be, a heaven and hell.

What’s so puzzling about MAGA is none of it’s disciples seem to have any idea that Christians exist that have spent a lifetime reading, debating, and studying the gospels who take literally and to heart what Christ preached from the Mount of Olives.

True transgendered persons are less than one per cent of all populations and the MAGA crowd doesn’t care if little girls want to use the boy’s rest room.
And I have zero qualms about reserving girls sports for girls born girls.
I would not allow sex reassignment surgery (except for blatantly obvious cases like the “lady” I attended church with) until at least age 25.
And I’d as soon have drag queens have story hour with children as I would whores from the local brothel or drunks from the local beer joint. Children need protected from such things. Fire a few “woke” teachers and the rest will fall in line.
When I was a child the threat to America was radical left wing permissiveness. It still is a threat, although dwarfed by tens of millions of right wing reactionaries that would eliminate all boundaries of church and state, and plunge us into a century or more of the darkness of the radical right if only they could.
They won’t send their kids to school. They won’t get vaccinated. They fall prey to every paranoid fantasy they see on the internet or conservative media.
Unless the decent people win, then any minority group will face a loss of civil rights unprecedented in our history.

Will Christ condemn the screaming swarms at Trump rallies that chant hateful slogans and spew out venom?
I think Christ would condemn me, because I was raised in church and I’ve known better since childhood.
Most of the MAGA cult is ignorance, not deliberate violation of what Christ preached.
Our Master also said to judge not, lest we be judged.
Most of the Trump supporters I know were raised up well, and there’s some kind of unseen poison in what they’ve gotten caught up with, they’d never have drank if they had deliberated beforehand.

What’s changed in fifty years, is we knew Coach would beat our asses for that. It wasn’t morality, but fear that kept us in line.
As for immigrants, there’s 11 million of them here without papers, it’s a regrettable situation, and short of becoming the worst tyranny since the Third Reich and rounding them all up, what do you do?
All their children are born citizens. And if you don’t like that, change the 14th amendment.
We live in a nation so wonderful we have to build walls to keep other people out.
What should bother me and doesn’t, is Christ was crystal clear about taking in the stranger, feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and taking care of the needy.
I pay my taxes to support programs that serve those ends, and give what I can, but otherwise don’t lay awake wondering if hell yaws before me for not doing more.
At least I’m on the side of the brighter angels of human nature, and not against them.

No,. it became corrupted psychologically, it can be corrected same way. Took over a century to get this bad, might take 4 generations changing their mind to fix it.

How about the mass illegal immigration Biden is not only allowing, but encouraging?
How about the debt he is incurring for no damn reason, at all?
It's not the Republican party turning a blind eye from the truth.
And as for Obama being born in Kenya? Do you think that when he himself claimed to be born in Kenya to gain preferential admissions and probably tuition at Columbia, that it only fuels the speculation?
And why did he tell his literary agent that he was born in Kenya?Acton & Dystel (now Dystel & Goderich) claimed Kenya was Obama’s birthplace from as early as June 27, 1998 up until between April 3, 2007 to April 21, 2007.The record had been updated between these two time periods, but his birthplace was never changed to Hawaii until 2007 - when it suddenly was changed.

Like Eichmann in Jerusalem representing the banality of evil, the MAGA disciple is a mundane, everyday, ordinary citizen who is quite certain his enemies are plotting and scheming and out to destroy his nation, although the proof is always elusive, beyond his grasp.

Obama was born in Hawaii.
In only a few years historians will probably deny anybody could have believed anything else. Not only was there his birth certificate, there were two Honolulu newspapers announcing his birth, and most of his classmates in high school are still living.
And yes it matters.
Being mistaken is forgivable.
But to be a damned fool on purpose, when anyone should know better, is the best indicator of future error.
Nobody would have even dreamt up such a fairy tale if both his parents had been white.
