How do you talk about a sensitive subject without pissing somebody off?

I don’t know; maybe I should ask God. He knows everything after all. He wrote the Bible and it is still the best selling book since BC.

He wrote it right from the very beginning so He definitely knew the people He was writing it for and [that] majority of them are sensitive.

So how did the Big Guy write the great book, making sure not to piss sensitive people off?

I’ll tell you. He wrote it figuratively. So much so that it takes a deeper level of self-trust to understand it.

You see, even God knew not to piss sensitive people off. The Bible is full of figuratively written verses.

Take for instance, the verse that says and I summarize, a woman shouldn’t wear a man’s garment and a man shouldn’t wear a woman’s garment. The readers [the world] took it like they should- literally.

Because, sensitive people.

No one exactly likes to face the truth.

Because then if He had said, women don’t change your sex to men and men don’t change your sex to women, he would be called a Homophobe.

He would be paraded as anti-gay with no regard for human rights. He would be termed a Hater, a Depriver, Anti-Life, and a Bigot.

The Book would be criticized, called a deceit, a divisive manual, and a hate propagator, not suited for human beings- dead or alive.

So how do you talk about a sensitive subject without pissing people off? I don’t know.

Maybe I just did.
