If people want a religious debate, there are no doubt forums for that on the net.
I'm not a god believer, I believe man created God in the beginning to fulfill his needs. But now that God is a monster out of control who creates man, as in the terrorist acts of fanatical Muslims and the behavior of similarly brainwashed Christian fundamentalists.
But I would not bash or flame good Muslims or Christians for their beliefs, provided they're prepared to live and let live, any more than I'd accept them bashing transsexuals or their admirers.
So lets go back to our corners and accept everyone's right to hold their own different but equally valid views. I think that's called maturity.

A rather grim view this one. But many believe as mustang1 does in his opening statement. But while some facts I agree with here, I disagree with 'different views being equally valid'. Some views can be wrong. Most in the Muslim world would stone to death(or worse) a gay person,much less a TG. I as a Christian don't accept that as 'maturity'. Some 'Christians' might also, but they don't practice true Christiananity. Their just basket cases.
As far as the bible and TG's, nothing. They did not exist at that time. Gays/Transvestites. I'm sure they were around and were probably 'accepted' as much as today.(maybe more so).
Every Christian is,or should be, aware that over the ages each Pope had 'removed' or re-translated parts of the Bible according to beliefs more closely to their own personnel thoughts/opinions.
Like today, people rewrite 'facts' to their own sense of political correctness.
Christ did have an open opinion to all, hated no one and accepted people for what they were period. His sex life is a mystery because early people in charge removed it from the writings.
I'll cling to his 'acceptance'.
