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.
this is bi erasure.

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

No, see it's okay to be bi!
How do you become black? Asking for a friend.
By sinning. Apparently.
This is a real belief of the mormons.
I thought God changed his mind about black people in 1978?
What about the natives?

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".
I'm pretty sure ICE already deported Jesus.

It’s pretty unethical for Jesus to go around turning people gay then.
Maybe he shouldn't have got so swole then
His last supper was pure protein and steroids...

Jesus saves... at the credit union.
Fun fact, medieval Christians in some parts of Europe actually believed that "moors" (a catch all term for Africans at the time) with black skin would become white if they converted to Christianity, and there were many popular tales of this happening. Race as a concept hadn't really been invented yet, but medieval people did notice that people they encountered who had dark skin often practiced Islam and wrongly assumed that believing in Islam was the cause of the dark skin rather than it just being who happened to convert.
Modern Christians haven't really changed much.

and of course the original quotes are not related to homosexuality at all: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenChristian/s/79askQI5Xn
basically it condemns rape. but mainstream conservative "christians" in power could not let such translations to spread
The opposite is true. If you're gay, God made you that way for a damn good reason! Who are you to question His will? It is a mortal sin for a gay man to sleep with a woman!
That's something archaic. God created you so you are attracted to people with the same sex attributes as yours. You ultimately decide what to do with it. You can't know God's intent, my child. Maybe he created you to become as strong as a bear, but maybe you were created as bottom generator

It's always fun when religious people claim to know what is or is not gods intent or doing, when they so often claim "his ways are unfathomable for us mere humans" whenever it suits them.
Or they use the Bible as source, a book written by humans who they never knew and cannot verify if they were terrible people. (based on the content of the bible they most likely were assholes based on modern values)
Why are you reposting ragebait shite
who wrote this shite?
Jesus is hrt?
I do think it is most likely true that one's gender and sexuality is not set at birth but instead emerges later for most people. I mean twin studies for one thing. Doesn't mean it's a choice though.
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.
Of course all old testament. They so conveniently forget that their hippy savior changed the rules, because of course they don't actually like his message; does not justify their desire to have power over others.

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..
