The Time Traveller Analogy

(If God can perform gene transforms, why doesn’t God make me ABC/XYZ?)

Some things are easier said than done. For example, time travel.

Suppose that time travel is commonplace and there are many time travellers.

Suppose one day, or from one day onwards, time travellers say that God hates non-time travellers, that non-time travellers are immoral and have no moral values.

How would the non-time travellers feel about it? They would of course wish to become time travellers. But they can’t.

God can do anything. Suppose that God chooses a subset of non-time travellers and performs a gene transform on them, such that they become time travellers. Will they also have this time-traveller pride and say that God hates non-time travellers?

God Mode

Picking one of multiple contradictory viewpoints and claiming God says what you want to say.

The statement is most likely the same as that which another person used God Mode on you.

This leads to a propagation of God Mode statements.

L-mode
L-mode

Such a skill is possessed by followers of monotheistic religions based on ancient text written by humans who lived thousands of years ago.

They fail to understand that modern science, technology, and ethics should be used to correct the outdated perceptions of Homo sapiens who lived several hundred years ago.

Actions speak louder than words.

God Mode is not limited to words alone. For example, a homophobic Christian may murder a person because of the victim’s sexual orientation. He can be said to be practising God Mode in action. He thinks his action is right (by following God’s order) but it is clearly wrong. He has chosen to ignore the part of the bible that says he should not kill. He has chosen to follow the part of the bible that says he should get rid of people with non-standard sexual orientations. Also, the person who practises God Mode is an expert at Double Speak, such as “accepting but not affirming” or “disapproval is not stigmatization” or “wicked is good”. He can hold two contradictory viewpoints in his mind and think that they are both true. Those who say they don’t affirm actually don’t accept and hopes the whole world does not accept a certain minority group. Those who express disapproval are actually contributing to the stigmatization of the minority group. This leads to more people using God Mode to justify hate crimes.

To all the homophobic Christians who justify murder:

Are you very sure they are not born this way ?

Homophobic Pride.

The sense of superiority that a gay (usually Christian) person has when he (possibly out of innocent ignorance) thinks he is able to “overcome” his homosexual tendencies that he believes is offensive.

Example of usage : He was parading his homophobic pride again, causing more LGBTQIA people to commit suicide or be expelled from homes onto the streets, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Homophobic pride can be very gentle, such as persuading an LGBTQIA person to stop being an LGBTQIA person. Are you really sure they are not born this way ?

Celebration of Diversity

What can we do ? We can accept LGBTQIA people for being who they are. Everybody is born differently. Let us celebrate diversity. Let us practise Ethical Christianity. Let us let love win.

Understanding L and non-L

L does not need to be understood.

L wants your understanding.

L is not against non-L.

L is perfectly fine with non-L going about their daily activities.

However, there is a subset of non-L people that are actively opposing the equal human rights of L.

These L-phobic people are what L is advocating against.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Let’s be clear about this.

My advice to L:
Despite the injustices that you are facing, please think straight and define the scope of your argument carefully.

Know that there exist non-L people that support your right to live a happy life.

L-phobic people come in two parts. One part has the knowledge that L are born this way. One part has knowledge that L are not born this way. These two parts are L-phobic nonetheless.

The L-phobic part 1 assumes that disabled people are not entitled to the same human rights.

The L-phobic part 2 assumes that L has chosen to be L. Therefore this sin excludes them from basic human rights.

L-phobic people carry out hate crimes against L-philic people, causing them to commit suicide. This fact is obvious to L-philic people but non-obvious to L-phobic people. L-phobic people expel L-philic family members from homes onto the streets, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. This fact is non-obvious to L-phobic Christian pastors but obvious to L-philic families. Please, let us love our family members.

Replace L with LGBTQIA.
