Testicles doesn’t have a U in it, so the second one.
Brain sex exists, but it’s not gender. And just like body sex, it’s multidimensional and comes in intersex flavour. And it’s neuroplastic, to a certain extent.
One of the sexually multimorphic aspects of the brain is the emotional response to sex hormones. It’s why many trans girls can’t cry or can’t experience love until they’re on estrogen. It’s why phantom limb sensations exist. As far as I know, chemical reactions can’t be changed, but body maps can. The brain is also responsible for regulating hormone balance, and skilled meditationists can access parts of their brain normally closed to the consciousness and adjust their hormones. I’m speaking from experience when I say that, and my endocrinologist can confirm my story. So you might also consider the brain’s instructions to the body on what sex to be, a part of the brain’s sex. Like I said, it’s multidimensional. A brain can have multiple sexes, just like a body.
Nobody’s born with gender, it develops as you age. All newborns are agender.

You have to think of it as “Waves + extras”. It then, suddenly makes logical sense.
Unless you observe the double slit experiment, and then suddenly it’s particles again

Actually, Columbus was 100% certain the earth was round. What he believed is that the earth was significantly smaller than the mathematicians said, and that he’d be able to sail straight to India from Portugal. He was greedy and wanted to establish new trade routes. Most of the governments of Europe said "No, you fucking idiot, the earth is as big as the mathematicians say it is, and you’re going to starve to death on your way to India. They would have been right had he not bumped into America by accident. Anyway, that’s why native Americans are Indians and why there’s such a thing as the west indes.
Yes, you can repent directly to the lord, but most people can’t hear the lord and won’t get the benefits of therapy from it, they’ll only get the benefits of mindfulness. At a confessional everyone can get the benefits of amateur therapy.
Islam is a religion derived from and influenced by Christianity
You should try reading instead of skimming
My absurd worldview? I guess you think the Encyclopedia Brittanica is absurd too

The monotheism that characterizes Judaism began in ancient Israel with the adoption of Yahweh as the single object of worship and the rejection of the gods of other tribes and nations without, initially, denying their existence.
Oh, and Stanford

Most mainstream Old Testament scholars believe that the religion of the early Israelites was neither monotheistic nor polytheistic but “monolatrous.” While the existence of other gods was not denied, Israel was to worship no god but Yahweh.
Maybe just read some encylopedias if you want to know more about the history of monotheism
No, the problem is that you don’t understand homonyms.
You know that joke atheists tell Christians where they say “We both agree that most gods don’t exist, I just believe in one less than you. You and I aren’t so different.”? Well, that joke is more accurate than the atheists realise. The monotheism of the pre-roman Christians and Jews is very different to the monotheism of today.
Ancient Christians and Jews believed in the gods of every culture, but they only worshipped one. That’s how every culture treated foreign gods, back then. The Romans transformed the world forever when they used religion as a tool of cultural genocide through syncretism. As Roman polytheism was replaced by Roman Christianity, it became the custom to deny the gods of foreign religions. This was a new thing, back then.
Anyone who studies history knows that Europeans have been copying Rome ever since Rome fell. The colonisers of the new worlds copied Roman techniques of cultural genocide, by denying not just the power or worthiness of indigenous gods, but their very existence.
White modern atheism exists in the wasteland left in the wake of Christianity. The difference between a Christian coloniser and a white antitheist is one god. That’s insignificant. The antitheists are simply carrying on the traditions of Christianity, rather than attempting to actually move beyond a roman Christian worldview and learn from the way human thought worked before Christian genocide.
Antitheism is colonial white people shit and it sucks
