I agree 100% Just found this site after watching a podcast. Peace Paul.

My interest lies in a much more general area which begins with the fact that there is a God and from him we can know everything we need to about truth.

Fact?

HI Paul, thank you for responding. My interest lies in a much more general area which begins with the fact that there is a God and from him we can know everything we need to about truth. However for me the need for a discussion of ethics related to sex assignment makes no sense because it illustrates that I disagree with the person making it at a much more foundational level because I believe there is a GOD( ultimate authority and creator) and the God I believe in does not make mistakes therefore such arguments (for me) make no sense) because there is no common ground

With all due respect your suggestion to not address such issues is a complete lack of charity. The charitable thing to do, despite it not being the feel good thing to do, is to address the issue at hand and find the truth; which for a believer of God is already known. Do you think God, in the complete human nature complete human nature felt good when he hung from the cross? That the price for truth in love. Yes, catholics will always argue for truth in love because true catholics are, or at least should be concerned with one thing; seeing that all souls go to heaven, not because we personally want it but because God loves every person he created and he wants it and because that is his will we pray "thy will be done". Pax Christi

How can two exclusive realities occupy the same reality? Kids also act like animals, a dog or a cat. A human cannot be both a human and a dog. The essence of dog is a domesticated canine. The essence of a human is a rational animal. One cannot be both. So that goes back to my question, how can a person, externally male (or female) also internally be female (or male). On principle of their definitions they are exclusive.

I agree with most of what you've written but for naturally occurring hermaphrodites I thinks it should be made absolutely clear that they are to be left unaltered until they are able to decide for themselves. Their sexual difference should be treated like a heart condition that must wait for maturity to be repaired if that kind of matter-of-fact quality is possible in this strange Puritan/pornographic hybrid culture of ours.

I have always found the "natural order" argument bizarre. Cause Nature sure loves her some homosexuals in all mammalian species and is equally implicated in spontaneous and stress induced abortions. As for your last line, the Christian obsession translates to a US Government obsession with limits on abortion, contraception and adoption. Strange and misplaced indeed.

"A culture that is actually intolerant of evidence that contradicts any of its dogmas has problems far worse than anything that might result from the acceptance of unconventional behaviors."

You have summed up the problem with most religious cultures generally and Trent Horn's version in particular. Brevity and truth are a rare combination. Plaudits and a poaching alert because that line will be remembered.
