These Christians apparently don't realize that Christians cut off their balls for many centuries, until the 1800s. The first council of Nicea was convened because of this very subject, to stop their priests and other eager converts from castrating themselves.

Jesus said it was fine, cut those buddies off! But, priests at Nicea Council disagreed, saying it's all metaphorical, stop doing that even though Jesus said you should do that.

So, if they are right and their God is the boss, their entire religion, from early days to Catholicism to today, is based on blasphemy.

Anyways, they should be if anything exuberantly trans.

So, if you're a real christian, you should cut your balls off, got it.

Jesus Himself said "All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

So, you don't have to cut your balls off, that's silly. BUT it's perfectly fine if you do.
