@raymondthebrave -By the way, you posted a link to youtube. How does one add links? I see only an "add media" paperclip. Or is it as simple as typing the address (or even copy/paste)?
@raymondthebrave - Thanks for the good info. When I have a bunch of spare time I might dig an older tower out of the garage (mindful of system requirements, of course) and try this stuff out.
@jmbaehman - I think if an employer requires us to do something we find morally repugnant and the employer is inflexible, it's time to find a better employer!
But using cis-gender pronouns, foolish and misleading though they may be, does not rise to the level of immorality (sin), does it? Can you point to a scripture that addresses the issue? FWIW, the one verse that comes to my mind is, "All things are lawful, but not all things are expedient" (1 Cor. 6:12).
@raymondthebrave - I've thought about using Linux (by itself) on a computer. I hear there are many variants. What made Mint your choice? Is it compatible with most programs, print drivers, etc, or do you need to reboot to your other OS to get some things done?
@sinbach - Yes, of course we have free will and choices. We can choose to not listen to the Holy Spirit's guidance (many do this). We can listen, but then choose to not follow His leading (many do this, too). We are free to miss God's best and His ideal plans for our lives, and He will still love us.
But... oh, the glory of following God's plan!!!
FB booted Patriot Prayer (the group), its leader, and several members off the FB site because, believe it or not, they're a "Violent Social Militia." I don't use FB, but their action spurred me to finally join Dingdash.
I'm also thinking of subscribing to The Epoch Times, where I read the story about Patriot Prayer.
@jmbaehman - It is polite and respectful to call someone by the moniker they prefer. I don't think it's inherently evil to use some weird new pronoun when speaking to a person who wants that pronoun used. An employer may require certain things of you in this respect, and that's okay. But when you are not under a requirement or a polite expectation, it seems sensible to use the pronoun that matches the person's chromosome pair (XY, XX).
