Are Christians protected from discrimination by our current laws?
Are the transgender people protected from discrimination by the current laws?
You said in the past that you are against extending the discrimination laws to protect the transgender people.
Saying that Christians are discriminated is like saying that WASPs are discriminated in the US. Christians rule the US.
Yes Christians are protected by current law.
No individuals with gender dysphoria are not.
I am opposed to big government in general and that includes the creation of an ever expanding list of special legally protected classes over time. We need to be reducing governments size and role in our lives not growing it.
At least there is something we agree on. I too oppose big government, but c'mon discrimination laws is not the best way to reduce government.
I think you are against this particular group of people because of peer pressure from other Christians. You know that harming people is wrong, but you go with the flow and support this discrimination anyway.
For the same reason, 100 years ago, Christians were against giving Blacks or women the same legal protections.
Ask yourself: 'What would Jesus character do?"
PS. Here you have an example of why moral objectivity is wrong. Other examples from our history are slavery, racial and gender discrimination.
You are a moral relativitist because you do not kill gays for breakfast as the Bible recommends. You said yourself that you are against slavery. Where is your moral objectivity? Pushed away into the footprints of history, LOL.
PPS. Do you want to trim government size? Close all libraries, digitize books, convert them to one website, where people can check-out books electronically, provide time-based, copyrighted book viewer and you're are done. This would save big bucks, and trim the government payroll numbers. Another much bigger pie is in the military. Bring all troops home, eliminate military bases outside of the US, protect your borders, reduce military personnel.
