    I have heard that story before too but I never really looked into it much. I will definitely watch Banned from the Bible.

    Really, so when they mention the dead sea scrolls and what is in the Qur'an those books and scrolls don't exist, and neither do their translations. Oh and don't forget that you just said Modern Marvels is now a lie...just like when they showed how cakes are made, or the amazing usefulness that grease has. (it was gross and very interesting at the same time.)

    Of course the Dead Sea scrolls exists, but their interpretations of things are ridiculous. I recall seeing a program describing why Jesus was a vampire on the history channel. I believe "banned from the bible" as much as I believe "ancient aliens"

    Yes, certainly. The problem is that opponents aren't willing to agree with it. They aren't willing to tolerate it. It's perfectly fine not to agree with it.

    You do realize that they air that kind of bs rarely because it gets them a high viewer count from the crazy people that believe that, right?

    They do actually air things with FACTS behind them Banned from the bible actually has real evidence to back them up, not "experts" that they find on a NY city street corner that have a PHD and believe there were ancient aliens.

    I merely mentioned ancient aliens because I was applying the same type of response as you did when you mentioned modern marvels. I have yet to find legitimate proof for the claims made by 'banned from the bible' but this is a discussion for a different thread.

    Just wanted to say this, Target is extremely supportive of LGBT rights, and that the managers even get pronoun training for when talking about transgender people/non binary gendered people. Such as knowing to use they and them, instead of terms they might find offensive such as binary gendered pronouns such as he or she.

    Just +38195849163759585727374 TARGET!

    Just pointing out
    I dont get offended if people say "he" when talking about me. Sometimes I correct them in a joking way or such, but there's not really a reason for me to be offended.
    why should someone who appears male not be called "he" unless specifically requested? I find it presumptious of them to expect people to and then be offended when they dont. Seriously, hoe are they supposed to know?
    which brings me to wonder what kind of training these people need. Are they training them to recognicze transgender people? Then tht brings stereotypes and misunderstands all around.

    Aaaand it also brings me to wonder why theyd even use pronouns in the first place, other than saying formalities such as, "how are you doing sir?" Or something. They're usually speaking directly to the customer.

    To put it simply, why the heck would they do that, it makes no sense.

    If the person being refered to is transgender/of an unknown gender (ie you don't know if they are a he or she or they) then use genderless pronouns, until you know what gender they identify as, because you never know when you're going to encounter a transgender person an it's always good to make sure you don't make an ************** of yourself.

    Let me go check what percentage of the population transgender people are.

    Seriously, though, I am not going to call everyone a "they" until I know for a fact what they prefer to be called. If they feel uncomfortable, they can correct me. If they're fine with it, then I see no problem. Either way, in this case, it's better to serve correctly the vast majority.

    Sorry I forgot the rule was that if you can't tell what the person's gender is use non gender descriptive terms. My bad.

    A friend of mine from school is transgendered. Born female, prefers to be called "he", even though he is biologically female. It takes us some time to get used to saying "he" and "him because we were so used to saying her and she before he came out of the closet. But, he's pretty accepting when people say "she" because, well, people might not know about his gender identity right away, or he understands that they just aren't used to saying "she" and "he" yet. It wasn't until a few months ago that I got used to using the terms "he" and "him", because I've been using "she" and "her" years before he came out. He just corrects us sometimes and we move on.

    Then again, I guess it's different for everyone.
