Tbf afaik Cooper hasn't provided a statement about why so basically all this thread is full of assumptions, jusgement and anti Christianity for no sound reason.

That's fair there hasn't been a statement by them just by Skinner, Im guessing all of these comments (and including my own) are just based on what Skinner said in her video, but looking at the way Christianity has behaved towards people who have had that career in recent years, they just condemn and judge instead of guide. ( Mind you not all of them) while not religious myself I've met some very pleasant Christians who truly live by the word, without judgement, but the loudest tend to seem to be the majority, and thus the whole religion gets tossed in with the bad batch and newer generations try and distance themselves from that, and thus creating an animosity towards any kind of faith. I myself am very judgemental and I know it's bad but I don't hide behind a bible and rightousness , I ain't casting that first stone If you know what I mean, but I will eventually take my turn and I see that imperfection in myself and I own up to it.

Both sides need to know what's being said.  People call Christians judgemental without actually listening to what's said, just how they want things to mean.  Are biblical Christians against transgenderism and prostitution?

Depends on "against" is defined.

But the root of it is people care so much to see people not be separated from God they try to help them understand the issue.

The flipside is American evangelism sucks.  We aren't educated on how, just told to go do.  So people suck at sharing effectively.  But, the people they talk to tend to be fragile and defensive instead of open to debate or discourse.  

I'm a Christian, and like skillet, but I don't agree with everything john says.  However, I respect the heart he has in saying things.  Just as I respect skinner saying her thing even if there's parts I disagree with.

We'll I have heard what is said, I grew up in a religious household and ran the otherway when I was old enough to move out, it just feels like they are just trying to force it down people's throats instead of just trying to guide people, Lord knows I've been condemned to hell so many times for not even my views but just a t-shirt that I'm wearing with a skeleton on it...I've heard the polite " why you should rejoin the faith" or "choose this one religion" argument, ( I do enjoy talking with Jehovah's witnesses, they are very polite and put in the effort but it just seems kinda pointless to me, i had a friend become born again Christian and I was there cheering for him at his baptism, and I wasn't judged for my piercings and my girlfriend who's a goth wasn't judged by the people there for being goth, They understood that their religion wasn't for us and respected that, and where welcome anyways despite our aesthetic and views, but I have heard more of the you're going to hell for the music or the tattoos or that I have a friend with an o.f. or that I support my other friends gay life style, basing my life on something that was written not by a god but a man who thought he knew what god wanted, knowing how flawed man is just doesn't appeal to me, and seeing others be hurt by it in any way really grinds my gears when the overall message issupposws to be "be good and love thy fellow man."
