Oh, please! Yes I am a Christian and I know/have known many, many Christians over the years and I don't recall any of us being responsible for barbaric laws, religious wars and world-wide bloodshed. I would like to suggest that the people you are referring to could not by definition be classed as Christians!!Quote:

It does say that he apologised when he realised that the pupil was angry, although it doesn't say that he apologised for implying that she was female or for making her angry, there is a difference. He has his views and beliefs and as far as i'm concerned he's entitled to them. The issue at hand is the fact that he doesn't recognise the girl wanting to identify as being a boy, he's openly admitted that. I suppose the problem is that because he's in a position of power and would've signed up to school policy that somehow, the pupil concerned may think that he has a conflict of interests or doesn't respect him-her depending on what you believe. At least he's being honest and true to his beliefs.Quote:

I think this is what CleveVanLeef was referring to when he wrote about the PC brigade. We are led to believe that everyone thinks the same way and by saying something contrary to this automatically labels someone as an intolerant bigot, hence most people keep their real opinions to themselves!Quote:

Is this guy being intolerant of children or of an ideology?
Why not be accepting instead?Quote:

Of the child - if he is really a Christian then I would say yes he would be, he would have compassion for the child even if he was not happy with what the child had done, knowing the potential consequences down the line. Of the ideology of transgenderism, clearly how can he be accepting of something he disagrees with!!!Quote:
