Transexuals and religion?

[Vala_TS]

First of all, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THIS TOPIC. THANKS!


Anyway, I am wondering. How many tgirls actually believe in any religion? Personally, if you asked me, I'd say none because if I was a tgirl, I wouldn't believe in any religion because all of them say there is no such thing as being gay/les/bi/trans but what is the actual state of affairs in that department?

I did not mean to offend anyone so sorry if I did.

Thanks,

Interesting topic.

While Religion isn't keen on gays/lesbians etc, they do seem to have an open policy on pedophiles.

There are some religions (Neo-Pagan, Druid, Unitarian) that don't give a rat's patoot who you blow, so long as you're a good-hearted person.

As to the pedophile comment: Mee-ROW! Fssst!

i dont know if they do or not. this is a good subjsct. i renounce my religion and any one for that matter. i think its wrong.

apprently the US government never heard of the seperation of chuch and state. if they did gays can get married whit out hassel. sorry to get offtopic but if the Tgirls on here want to do what they want , i say let them. no religion should stop them

I used to be christian but I quit that because I couldn't stand going to church every damn sunday listening about how it's a sin to be human and I was going to hell anyway so I just quit it, I was fed up, I believe in SCIENCE now. Plus, I like trannies and all sorts of other kinky stuff that would have been though as sins like much of us on here.

I'd like to hear some transexuals' viewpoints on this matter.

I tend to adopt a 'cafeteria' approach to religion as
I have studied and belonged to a number. I tend to
take the best from each and leave the dogma and
rhetoric that do not meet my needs behind.

I am also not a fan of those that proselytize or try to
shove 'their' religions down 'your' throats. Nor do I
agree with those that feel that their deity or God is
bigger or better than your God, or that they are the
only chosen ones.

Finally, I can understand people that have no belief in
a deity, ie are atheist. Or those that one who is not
committed to believing in either the existence or the
nonexistence of God or a god, ie agnostic.

And though I will readily admit to having firm and strong
beliefs in the God of my understanding, I do tend to have
secular humanist leanings as well:

Tenets

Secular humanism describes a world view with the following
elements and principles:

Need to test beliefs - A conviction that dogmas, ideologies
and traditions, whether religious, political or social, must
be weighed and tested by each individual and not simply
accepted on faith.

Reason, evidence, scientific method - Commitment to the
use of critical reason, factual evidence, and scientific methods
of inquiry, rather than faith and mysticism, in seeking solutions
to human problems and answers to important human questions.

Fulfillment, growth, creativity - A primary concern with fulfillment,
growth, and creativity for both the individual and humankind in
general.

Search for truth - A constant search for objective truth,
with the understanding that new knowledge and experience
constantly alter our imperfect perception of it.

This life - A concern for this life and a commitment to making
it meaningful through better understanding of ourselves,
our history, our intellectual and artistic achievements, and
the outlooks of those who differ from us.

Ethics - A search for viable individual, social and political principles
of ethical conduct, judging them on their ability to enhance human
well-being and individual responsibility.

Building a better world - A conviction that with reason, an open
exchange of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress can be made
in building a better world for ourselves and our children.

I was raised as a Christian, but I'm close to being more of a Buddhist. Homosexuals and Transgendered individuals seem to be accepted, but I believe the Dali Lama condemns anal sex though. Hetero and Homosexual anal sex.

I could never be a true Christian with my feelings that I have for TGs, and random cute boys I'm suppose to burn in hell, but I'm not going to get started on this topic. I really wanted to say that the average Buddhist teachings aren't bad to follow.

I found a religious philosophy I liked years ago called Religious Science. The thing I liked about it is that it didn’t reject anyone’s religious belief. In fact it emphasis’s the common things among many religions. I find that two religions agree on 90 out of 100 tenets, so they fight to the death over the 10 things of disagreement. Meanwhile they are ignoring 50 tenets of the religion they say they are holding so dear. Christianity, Judaism and Islam are the biggest offenders. I consider myself a Christian. I personally feel that most Bhuddists are more Christian than most Christians.

All religions have contradictory tenets because God encompasses all. To put an example; the universe is both hot and cold. It is up to us to find the comfortable middle where life thrives. We have to use those Humanist principles that Peggygee describes to find the best practice.

Most religious people consider books like the Bible or the Koran to be the word of God. They are, but the creation credited to God, is still ongoing. So we are presented with new realities to interpret those words for our own daily lives.

In the same passage as Jesus talked about marriage he talked about eunuchs. So many people quote the part about marriage “Male and female he made them.” They don’t go into what he said about eunuchs. “He started off by saying, “Now everyone cannot understand this…”. The passage ends with him saying something like “Those that can understand, should accept it” (depending on the translated version). He said that some were born that way and some were made that way by men.

I have to find the exact passage.
