This is all speculation anyway. As for what really happened, we'll never know, and I don't think the Gospels were originally meant to be interpreted literally. There are lots of stories about gods or avatars of gods like Jesus who were sacrificed and ritually eaten.

Suppose Jesus of Nazareth was an alien visitor from another planet and the basis for the miracles ascribed to him were just applications of advanced technology that were regarded as "supernatural" by onlookers.

Why deny medical treatment to these children? Suppose you have a child with a cleft palate and you're told that, despite it being a treatable condition with corrective surgery, it's "god's wi

All of these issues -- abortion, birth control, puberty blockers, SRS, IVF, etc -- come down to one thing: Religious fundamentalists want to deny people autonomy over their own bodies for completely arbitrary reasons that have nothing to do with science and reality, but everything to do with remaking the world in *their* image. And if you don't believe me when I say this is arbitrary, note th

No one has mentioned Mack Beggs or other trans male athletes, so again this is about the trans female "menace" and the age old question of who decides who or what "femininity" is.
