It’s implying that there’s some sort of hypocrisy or logical contradiction with Christians suddenly caring about pronouns being correct when it applies to God. But that entire premise is wrong, because as someone else eloquently stated, they never claimed not to care about pronouns, in fact they care about them probably more than most transgender people. They just care about them being their version of “right”. The post is very clearly meant to be some sort of gotcha or serve to Christianity. But there is no gotcha, so the whole post is stupid. Really picture the exchange:
A: “I love God, I’m so thankful for how she’s blessed me.”
C: “She? God is a man. He blessed you.”
A: “Ohhh, so now you care about getting pronouns right, but not for someone like Elliot Page, huh?”
C: “No, I always care about getting pronouns right. That’s why God is a He and Page is a she, and it pisses me off if you say either of those differently”
???
So with that in mind, we can see this post is just someone owning an imaginary strawman.
Well, it’s really about misgendering. They’re misgendering God, just like they’re misgendering Elliot Page. Elliot Page wants to be called he/him and they want God to be called he/him.
Look I think religion is stupid but so is this strawman feelgoodsy argument. So disappointing.
It’s not an argument? How did you get an argument out of this?
