Without comment, Senator Machaela Cavanaugh on the floor on Nebraska’s unicameral legislature, announcing herself as the Lord’s personal messenger, sent directly from heaven to protect trans-affirming surgery for children: https://twitter.com/NebPubMediaNews/status/1659608070245302278
Call me crazy, but I don't think I've read anywhere in the Bible, "lop off thy child's breasts and make her a boy if she playeth with a truck and dirtieth herself with mud and thou shalt create thyself a son."
Kinda thinking that, if the Lord sent a messenger, said person would actually represent...you know...God. He tells us to protect and treasure children, not mutilate them. So...you know...she might be insane.
The Lord is probably thinking of sending an asteroid the size of Australia to us about now. Looking at her he should realize his creation is irredeemably twisted and evil and maybe he should give the octopuses a shot.
As others have pointed out, if I told you I wanted my left arm cut off because I identify as an amputee, you’d tell me I was nuts. But if I tell you I want my nuts cut off because I think I’m a woman, then I’m a hero. No.
Let me get this straight (no pun intended...). This woman is trying to present herself (and others) as delivering the “word of god” such that the recipients of this message, direct from god, are to understand that god (whom we are told is infallible) made a mistake with the kids whom”identify as trans” and must therefore be subjected to “corrective” surgery to “fix” the mistakes of the previously declared infallible higher being? Is that about it?
If I have got that right, I hope I have not, then the level of hypocrisy is simply unprecedented in my experience. Clearly this person hasn’t read the bible and doesn’t understand the first thing about Christianity and as such is entirely ill suite to project the “word of god”. I don’t mind if a person doesn’t believe in Christianity or indeed god but the issue here is not that, it is seeking to coerce people by citing the “word of god” as the justification for an entirely ungodly act.
Note: I have every sympathy for adults who may, after sufficient counselling and reflection and understanding of the consequences undertake such a drastic action but to demand that this be allowed for minors, with or without parental consent, BECAUSE it is the word of god is so unbelievably unchristian a position to take I can scarce believe a sane person would take it, much less publicly project such a position.
If theologians were to accept this “word of god” then they must also accept that god can no longer be held as infallible and thus the entire Christian theology must be rewritten. Someone should ask these people whether that is their position as that is the logical extension of their position and are the willing to accept such a theological restatement?
So an insane Nebraska State Senator says God wants to mutilate children. There have always been evil fanatics wiling to commit unspeakable crimes in the name of God (the Spanish Inquisition, the English Tudor repression of Catholics). Hitler also regularly invoked God, for example. She’s just the latest creepy crazy person, and it doesn’t surprise me at all that sexually mutilating children is her issue, our nation is in precipitous moral decline.
I'm sorry, Chris, I can't watch. I just can't stomach their pig manure mixed with chicken *%?! any longer. I'm so glad I grew up in the 70s & 80s. If I had been born in the last 20 years they would have encouraged *me to undergo surgery. These people are pure evil.

So ... the Lord in question is Moloch, right?
I've got to get this comment in before someone scoops me;
"I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you"

The next internet billionaire will be the inventor of the app that allows you to unsee videos watched online. I hope they’re close.

Liberal white women are the very worst.

So, nothing adds credibility to an argument like a little bit of megalomania.

Why wouldn't God just put people in the right sex body to begin with?
Call me old fashioned but I've always been under the impression that the Lord wants us to live with the hand we are dealt.
Living with a penis when you really, really, really, think you want a vagina but will probably change your mind when you turn 10 builds character.
Apparently, megalomania transcends race, creed, religion, lack thereof, culture, socio-economic class, education, lack of education, sexuality, partisanship and ideology.
The self proclaimed “ God’s Gifts”.
Well that is a change. The Demwits are now using “Lord” to convey the message that this evil surgery is good and necessary.
I think her message is from the “Lord of Darkness”.
The battle of good v evil continues.
