Not my job to do. I just write for fun, but you may find this to be true in specific circles in our modern multi-cultural society.

Sorry, but if you make factual claims with no evidence, you are expected to back them up in a debate forum. You are in a debate forum.

Citation please. And define masculine males and effeminate females. I don't think those terms mean what you think they do. If you mean heterosexuals men and women, say so. If that is the case, of course they are greater percentage of the prison population as they are a greater percentage of society.

What are psychologically neutered people? Do you mean homosexuals? Isssh. What a horrible idea.

I know of no evidence that homosexuals are gentler than other people. Once again: citation please?

Sexual orientation is not proof of design or of a soul. Try again.

Sorry, I did not place irrational opposite to non-rational. That is an irrational position you present.

Jesus was, and he said to follow him and drink of the cup he drank. And so where is that cup? or are they all just wannebe's maybe.

Funny? He seems to show up in them with some frequency:

Quote:And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

John 17:3 NRSV

Quote:The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Mark 1:1

The difference here is that philosophy means love of wisdom and not search for wisdom, and therefore they 'must think' and are lost before they start.

I did read him a little bit and pictured him as an upright man always dressed in a suit, . . . and could not afford to enjoy his life in fear that he would shit himself (obviously so full of it he was).

Philosophy ... it's the top of a cereal box.

Yes, well here is how that goes so you won't pull your hair out.

Remember good old Joseph with 12 shepherds on the go? He was said to be a carpenter because carpenters are known to make many things, and since all is created in sin he was a sinner for sure; with sin being the rout in which two opposites take a stand as serious contenders and let the chips fall where they will.

So the story is about in his final round of Samsara that Plato called final Form and we call the Christ mass today.

So then Joseph was the Jew to whom Christ was born that we would call rebirth because John tells us we must. This then is why woman was riding the donkey while Joseph was as much as dragging his ass behind it as if he was pregnant with despair, as Joyce would put it, and that is why there was no room at the Inn because he was 'beyond theology' and really was the donkey with Mary in charge of destiny at this point in his life.

So then what they call Christ was born from the nucleus of his fathers sperm and that is the substance behind rebirth to make sure he is doing it right (cf Matthew and Mark, but let's leave that for now).

Essential here is that he had 12 shepherd on the go who were taking turns herding their own sheep in the middle of a midwinter night, as if his 'insights were on the run' that Aristotle called ousia's when first created to see. That so is what makes par-ousia his final ousia in which the rout was between his identity as created to be and the Adamic pretender he chose to be as rational agent. It therefore is that Jesus was insurrectionist here in role-play only, while Joseph was the undergoer of this midlife event.

This then would have him freely crucify his own ego awareness as the first Adam in him, which in turn makes Jesus known as second Adam and you can figure out the rest the story on your own.

I actually don't know where it is, but if you read the last line of his "Portrait" again that would be similar to "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Then if you consider the count-down of 40 days you will notice that he the rose again on May 1st when new life begins.

This would be as foreshadowed already on line 1 page 1 where his happy-go-lucky childhood held a promise to unfold, and that would explain all those lines in between and read it like no one else has ever done before.

Correct, and that very well means that he knew what pregnant with despair was all about.

Seriously, I don't care and I never will. As long as you are not bothering me and my family, do ya thang.
