Both have an object of salvific worship. Can anyone define the parameters of adjudicating which object of worship is true assuming both give self-reports of redemption and new found life
Didn't realize that the structure of transexuality was formed around believing that christ is the only begotten son of god. I thought it was about cutting your dick off and pretending that makes you a woman. My bad.
They're not worshipping anything, they're taking hormones and indulging in gastly surgeries to defy their natures probably out of autogynophilia or some other mental illness. Leave those poor people alone instead of spiritualizing their misery.

Problem with this argument: even if they have the same structure at some level, and even if that's the important level, it still matters what's being worshipped. The psychological critiques of Christianity are all pointless for this reason

correct so the question becomes to what extent can we know we are worshiping THE correct God and not just a contingency, what I would offer is there is no "getting behind" symbolic representations of the divine to some common source, so there is a legitimate competition between Goddess and Logos. Following Peirce what is true is what would be the case at the end of time when agreed upon by a community of observers, but even then there is no guarantee they will not reach some local max/min and miss the global max/min.
