I only believe what I perceive with my 5 senses.
That’s why the word Faith was created, to convince people to believe what they cannot prove, the came the word Blasphemy if you lack faith.
Are people who believe in God Ill, no just misguided, he may exist as I have not seen him, but it’s not a result of physical or mental illness, usually it’s what they have been taught.
Are we born to believe no, if we were born with a God believing gene and we lacked that then yes.
Now why don’t you answer how this correlates to the gender discussion

So I have an illness and thus there is something wrong with me. But what do you mean by that wrong?
Do you wrong as ill or wrong as a human?

It correlates because as I previously stated, "I wanted to know if you thought believing in a god was an illness".
Faith manifests in the brain, but to you isn't an illness. That's what I wanted to know.

I don’t believe faith is an illness, just misguided teachings.

Normal? What exactly is normal?
If others differ from you, are they not normal?
If you differ from others, are you not normal?

No, you are not really a human, as you are ill, wrong and not normal. Is that it?
Or are you conflating different kinds of negatives? I don't consider you wrong in any sense.

My spouse has been identifying more openly as nonbinary. It makes sense in this case: while they are okay with feminine pronouns at times, they feel more comfortable with neither male nor female identifiers.
Since there is a social aspect to gender construction, and that has been binary in this culture, either "male" or "female," if a person doesn't feel comfortable socially with either identification whether due to biological or environmental factors, this person may decide to focus on neutrality as much as possible and eschew this paradigm as much as possible.

Folks with gender identities that don't conform with traditional paradigms are not responsible for bigots.

"Untruthfulness is not only to be avoided because it harms others, but also because it goes against the Buddhist ideal of finding the truth."
You said you saw it numerous times, that means it should be easy for you prove.
I think he means drag queens, which there are videos of them dancing sexually in front of children. Hell, I've seen it myself at pride.

Did he see it in the media multiple times this week? The articles I found are from 2022. He said, "wake up" as if we are ignoring things in the current news.
I think there is an honesty problem.

We can all see that you are not practicing buddhism. The more you say, the more apparent it is.
