I hope everyone is paying attention to United States v. Skrmetti. It's a case being heard this term about Tennessee’s gender affirming care ban.

In one of the amicus briefs filed last week opposing gender affirming care for trans kids there was just a list of bible verses.

The brief was filed by 23 state legislatures and some other jamokes.

The separation of church and state? Never heard of her. #transrights #Scotus #uspol https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-477/327815/20241009120525823_State%20Leg%20AFA%20AFAA%20amicus%20brief.pdf

@AngryBlackLady Looks like I just found my next Bible study topic.

Genesis 1:27; Galatians 6:7; Matthew 22:37-40; Philippians 2:3-4; John 14:15; Genesis 3:5; Genesis 4:6-7; Proverbs 22:15; Galatians 5:19-24; Romans 13:1-5.

Anyone else notice these aren't in order? I'm thinking the order matters to their argument.

I'm gonna enjoy tearing this apart.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Seems to me at least the first three are a pretty boring stab at ‘God didn't mention non-binary/trans, and God is in charge, so there’

Kinda ironic they wound up quoting ‘love thy neighbour as thyself’ in the process, they seem somewhat less interested in that of course
