[QUOTE="The Doddfather, post: 303190, member: 619"] First off, this is against my better judgement to dive into this deep conversation. Admittedly I have not read through all the posts, but I feel like this is a simple issue and my points may have been covered already, so I apologize for only that in advance. I am 100% a Christian, and I don't believe that the choice to be transgendered is Biblical. And I do mean choice. God allows sin to be in this world and it is up to us to choose whether to engage in it or not. Without diving too far into that topic, I will simply state that this whole issue in North Carolina is sad on many levels. The leaders ultimately caved because it was negatively affecting the state budget. I get that, and as political figures who want to be re-elected, it was a no-brainer. But this should not have been an issue in the first place. Here is an excerpt from Christianity Today "The American Psychiatric Association estimates the number of transsexual adults as low as 0.005 to 0.014 percent of men and 0.002 to 0.003 percent of women. But these are likely underestimates, as they are based on the number of people who visit specialty clinics." Underestimates or not, there are millions and millions of dollars at stake for the state of NC based on that decision. And for what? To appease the minuscule amount of transgendered people in the population? Let alone the even smaller amount that would've shown up at one of the many sporting events that were later deleted from the state's schedule. The decision by the NCAA and professional sports to pull events from the state were egregious, but sadly anticipated. In the age of political correctness and a complete void of morals in our society, this is not surprising, but upsetting at the same time. I don't think we should alienate anyone, no matter their choices, but rather help them, because we are only here for a little while, and I want as much company as I can get when my time here is over. I don't mean that to be self-righteous, I'm just extremely confident in my faith and final destination. I know this a football forum and not really the platform for my personal beliefs, but that ship seems to have already left port. Rant over. Go Jackets and THWG [/QUOTE]
