I’m angry. I’m fuming! Nothing new, you’ll say, but this time, the trigger is not something I’ve discussed here before. I’m going to discuss the problems caused by some people who call themselves Christians. Mind y’all, I’m not against Christianity (regardless of what "type"), I’m not against God. My post is not anti-religious. I must say this, because it is an important distinction to make. While I do not share religious beliefs with Christians, Muslims, Hindhus or any other organised religion, I am very much of a live and let live kind of mindframe. But sometimes, people, as best intentionned as they are, are managing to do a whole lot of damage. One of the most damaging is to first intimate that Body Integrity Identity Disorder can be “cured” through prayer, and then to cut someone off from all support other people with BIID can provide.
