You are not born:

  • L - Lesbian
  • G - Gay
  • B - Black
  • T - Transgender

It is a sin to live as LGBT.

It is not God’s will.

But Jesus can change you.

    It’s called the BI-ble, not the Straight-ble. Adam AND Eve, not Adam or Eve.

    Right, because kids going through all this sexual/mental stress when they hit high school love making their lives more difficult with bullying and hatred, when they could just choose to be straight. Damn idiots.

    Wow! All the Black people who experience systemic racism will be thrilled to know that Jesus can make them white.

    You know what is a real sin? The fucking way that people in society are treated as productive workforces to further enrich the rich. The way that people get kicked on the street if they miss a rent payment. The way that the newspaper headlines say it’s a tragedy that the Titan submersible sank, but if thousands of refugees drown in the mediterranean sea, it’s not even worth a headline anymore. (i’m still pissed about the latter one). Refugees that exist in the first place because of rich people’s greed for oil.

      Honestly, academically speaking, that is an interesting question. It probes at the heart of what race really is.

      Is race how you are perceived? Then if someone darkened their skin and had surgery to take on certain facial features, sufficient to the point that people read and treat them as black, are they then black?

      Is race genetic? What if a white person used hypothetical generic engineering to give themselves a genotype of someone with largely African ancestry? Their phenotype is still white, but their genotype is black. They aren’t read as white, but any children they have will be. Are they black? Will their children be? What if the genetic treatment also changes their phenotype? They now have the genes and a visual appearance that most would identify as black, but they know nothing of black culture and have lived in predominantly white communities their whole life. Are they now black?

      Is race more about culture? Do you have to be raised as part of a black community to be black? If a white person adopts a black infant and raises them to adulthood in an entirely white rural town, is that child black? What if the parents are super racist and try to turn their adopted kid visibly white by lightening their skin, and they do this to the kid from birth? Is the kid still black? What about the opposite? What if it’s a white baby adopted by black parents and raised in a predominantly black community? Is that child black? What if the parents alter the child’s appearance to be visibly black, and do so from birth?

      It’s honestly a really interesting question, and countless dissertations and books have been written on the subject of what exactly race is. So I’m not really qualified to answer this question. I frankly don’t know what precisely defines a person’s race. My impression is that ultimately race is a very squishy, poorly defined concept. The questions above probe the definition by investigating its edges. Another way to do so would be to consider the concept of passing (in a racial sense.)

      I don’t really have any answers here, only questions. But your question, “how do you become black?” really sent me down a rabbit hole. When you take the question seriously, it really starts getting to the heart of just what this thing we call "race* really is.

    If Jesus was here right now ICE would deport him then Israel would bomb him and these Christian cunts would say he deserved it because he “didn’t follow the rules”.

    You’re certainly not born a christo-fascist arsehole. That’s something you have to learn, and you probably have to unlearn a lot of basic human instincts as well.
